The next work published by Hicks is "The Obama Chronicles: Stories from the Heartland." This work analyses the Obama administration and its proposed policies. Another section of the book looks at Obama's history as a Chicago politician and as a mid-westerner, making the point that his political and social values determine his approach to politics and policy-making.
