Sen. Barack Obama speaks during an Service Employees International Union Conference in September 2007.
Writer Shelby Steele has spent a lifetime thinking and writing about race and racial politics in America.
His latest book, A Bound Man, looks at racial identity and the populous politics which have made up much of Sen. Barack Obama's political career.
Though Obama is now the front-runner in Iowa's Democratic presidential caucuses, Steele — a research fellow at the Hoover Institution — says he can't win.
