是的,我们能》既是一部政治人物传记，也是一部成功励志书。作者加伦·托马斯将带领我们了解奥巴马的人生传奇：从积极处理同学关系到寻找亲生父亲；从担任伊利诺伊州参议员到竞选美国总统的历程，充分展现了他乐观和坚定的性格。

在小学三年级的时候，奥巴马就写过一篇作文：《我想成为总统》。而现在，他做到了，让全世界的人都知道，他能做到。

奥巴马算得上是一位世界公民，他出生于美国，父亲是肯尼亚人，母亲是美国人，童年在印度尼西亚和夏威夷度过。 THIS IS OUR MOMENT “This is our time—to put people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth—that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope; and where we are met with cynicism and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.” — President Barack Obama, Acceptance Speech; Chicago, IL; November 4, 2008 Born in the U.S.A., the son of an African father and an American mother, a boy who spent his childhood in Indonesia and Hawaii, Barack Obama is truly a citizen of the world. In kindergarten, he wrote an essay titled, “I Want to Become President,” and now, with his fierce optimism, exuberant sense of purpose and determination, and above all, his belief that change can happen, Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the United States, has made that dream come true. Garen Thomas takes us through the life of Barack Obama, from his struggle to fit in with his classmates, and concern about not knowing his biological father, through his term as an Illinois senator, and the long campaign for president, to his historic victory.
