Discuss the following statement: "Obama's journey is more important than his destination."in Dreams from My Father

This is a challenging question.  If the statement is in
reference to the narrative presented in his memoirs, Dreams from My Father, there is
much in way of truth present.  Obama displays himself as one seeking to better
understand the dynamics of racial identity and what it means to be a person of color. 
The struggles for understanding that is present in the memoir is one where the identity
of oneself is an ongoing process, not necessarily focused on an end point as much as a
journey to self awareness and understanding.  If the question is applied to President
Obama, I would probably back away from the statement a bit.  Being the President of the
United States, I would think that this is the end destination in terms of the results of
a journey.  Whereas, the struggle for identity is displayed more as a voyage to self
awareness, the job of the President is one where Obama is seen as one who embraces the
end product, the destination to which all of his work and to which the struggle for
identity has led.
