Audio Book Description:
In July 2004, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic NationalConvention with an address thatspoke to Americans across the political spectrum. Now,in THE AUDACITY OF HOPRE, Senator Obama calls for a different brand of politics a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by theendless clash of armies we see in Congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spiritat the heart of our improbable experiment in democracy. He also speaks,with surprisingintimacy and self deprecating humor, about settling inas a senator, seeking to balance the demands of public service and family life, and his own deepening religious commitment. At the heart of this audiobook is Senator Obama`s vision of how we can move beyond our divisions to tackle concreteproblems. Underlying his stories about family, friends,members of the Senate, and eventhe president, is a vigorous search for connection: thefoundation for a radically hopeful political consensus.
