In July 2004, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. One phrase in particular anchored itself in listeners’ minds, a reminder that for all the discord and struggle to be found in our history as a nation, we have always been guided by a dogged optimism in the future, or what Obama called “the audacity of hope.”
The Audacity of Hope is Barack Obama’s call for a different brand of politics—a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the “endless clash of armies” we see in congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of “our improbable experiment in democracy.” He explores those forces—from the fear of losing to the perpetual need to raise money to the power of the media—that can stifle even the best-intentioned politician. He also writes, with surprising intimacy and self-deprecating humor, about settling in as a senator, seeking to balance the demands of public service and family life, and his own deepening religious commitment.
At the heart of this book is Barack Obama’s vision of how we can move beyond our divisions to tackle concrete problems. He examines the growing economic insecurity of American families, the racial and religious tensions within the body politic, and the transnational threats—from terrorism to pandemic—that gather beyond our shores. And he grapples with the role that faith plays in a democracy—where it is vital and where it must never intrude. Underlying his stories about family, friends, and members of the Senate is a vigorous search for connection: the foundation for a radically hopeful political consensus.
A public servant and a lawyer, a professor and a father, a Christian and a skeptic, and above all a student of history and human nature, Barack Obama has written a book of transforming power. Only by returning to the principles that gave birth to our Constitution, he says, can Americans repair a political process that is broken, and restore to working order a government that has fallen dangerously out of touch with millions of ordinary Americans. Those Americans are out there, he writes—“waiting for Republicans and Democrats to catch up with them.”
巴拉克·奥巴马(Braack Obama),曾任联邦参议员,现任美国总统,来自伊利诺伊州。著有畅销书《父亲的梦想》(Dreams from My Father)。家庭成为有妻子米歇尔,两个女儿萨莎和玛丽亚。
奥巴马在2004年前不被大众所知,他当时只是一名伊利诺伊州参议员,直到当选国会参议员,非常幸运,2007年2月参选总统选举并一举成功。根据简历,奥巴马只有12年从政管理经验(1996-2008),这成了他的优势,选民们不喜欢经验丰富的政治家们,选民们感觉不应该继续被政治家玩于...
评分曾在报纸上看到一篇总结奥巴马竞选技巧的文章,里面提到美国著名政治嘻哈团队“民主党说唱者”在一首名为《走出去投票》的歌里唱到:“你们所有政客都在努力仇恨我的人/看我的人在每个州赢得大多数选票/你们无法阻止将要发生的事/我们将创造历史/走出去投票/世界即将改变...
评分你可以不喜欢美国,也可以不喜欢奥巴马。但是,在认真读过《无畏的希望》之后,至少你会开始欣赏美国的民主,或者至少会开始欣赏美国人对于民主的态度。 罗莎•帕克斯怀着从容坚定的决心,带着不容侵犯的尊严,拒绝种族的歧视,捍卫民权的尊严,从而引发了民众对于种族岐视的...

评分不论怎么说, Obama能当美国总统, 这已经是美国历史的奇迹了。 虽然美国是大熔炉,不过对黑人,黑白混血,亚洲人的歧视依然存在。 好在,美国 Ku.Klux.Klan.(K.K.K.)的时代已经不复存在了。 马丁路德金应该会以此为豪吧... 对Obama给予厚望,希望他不要让世界失望。 大小布什...
现在看来,对于Obama,我们可能期待太多了,期望太高了。。。
