Prominent conservative black writer Shelby Steele wrote a book called A Bound Man: Why We Are Excited About Obama and Why He Can’t Win. Yes he can! :)
My feeling is that I stand by every word of the analysis — what is between the covers of the book,” he said in a telephone interview. “For the year I have had to apologize for the stupid, silly subtitle that was slapped on to the book.”
He made it clear that he was the one who slapped the subtitle onto the book — “in about 30 seconds” when Barack Obama was trailing Hillary Rodham Clinton by about 25 percentage points. But, he added, “subtitles are marketing devices — I hate them. I’ve always hated them.”
The paperback version will lose the subtitle.
