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。
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.”
对于他,一个人类学者的儿子,一个可能的国家领袖,在信仰问题上需要对选民们有个解释,他的回答非常诚实和精彩。 象在中国的大多数孩子那样,经过怀疑的一代之后,我们都又几乎成了空白的一代。他的解释也是一个有力的建议,说:我们可以有没有信仰的“自由”,但也可能因此...
评分奥巴马在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...
评分关于这个世界会好的信念 作为这个星球上最强大的国家,美国选总统,总能吸引到很多目光,但对于我们来说,这种吸引,更多的是一种看热闹。一般来讲,选举的双方哪一个当选不关我们什么事,倒是选举的那一场热闹,错过了实在是可惜。这一次也是一样,虽然奥巴马与麦凯恩要到11...
评分为了防止豆瓣的管理员伯伯把我的帖子改去论坛,我就先写点评论。 这本书给我最大的震撼就是中美文化的差异。有时候我们总是愤怒于美国人粗暴的干涉中国的内政,国家总是纠结于人权于主权之间,而真正了解后才发现,我们思想上的差别、行为上的差别甚至意识形态上的差别完全是...

用词平易,表达精确,但是没有内容,没故事,典型的律师写作
评分我问我同学,你对奥巴马怎么看。答曰,呵呵。不过我觉得奥巴马真的是一煽动政治家,昨天听了一下他就职演说,口音特别漂亮。哎呀,我都想背下来了。而且对普通民众的心理把握的很到位。跟年轻时的丘吉尔一样,最喜欢说的话就是,我们要超越党派之间的争论,从大方面看问题。。。

评分如果你对Obama感兴趣就读读吧,或许现在美国最需要的就是希望,不管这种希望实现的可能性有多少。。。
评分抛开政治见解不谈,奥巴马的政论散文确实写得非常到家。小时候不能完全体会,而立之年终于发现其中的美妙。
