The Audacity of Hope pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
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。
我毫不掩饰对《无畏的希望》这本书书名的喜爱,它能给予我一种奇怪的感觉——奔跑、无惧而又充满阳光的感觉。 奥巴马是一个有激情、有干劲的美国人,每次在媒体上看见他,都给人留下很精神的第一印象。据研究,第一印象是很重要的,最初的印象基本就会把一个人定格下来...
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...
评分奥巴马是个现象。作为美国第一位黑人总统,他身后总是裹着一层光环,吸引着各色人等驻足置目、评头论足。一个多学期前,大学课堂上的众学子很多还只识希拉里,不认奥巴马;而今天,连逛街时都能听到服装区的中年营业员阿姨在说奥巴马长,道奥巴马短。 自从逐渐走入大众视野以...
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...
