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.”

读后感

因为皮格马力翁效应，我打开洗澡前关掉的电脑继续写这个关于政治和梦想的东西。 关于宗教，。。。美国人是有宗教信仰的民族。是啊，所以他们摒弃堕落的欧洲大陆，来到新世界，于是卫公礼教，基督，英国正教，当然，还有摩门教以及等等，原来我对宗教的一无所知，其实，我崇敬有...  

如果抛开中美的政治铭感话题，单从个人角度来说，奥巴马是一个很有魅力的人（至少在我看来），用英文表达，则可以说：这是一个很nice,很kind的人。 读罢全书，至少明白奥巴马的以下事物（自己的粗糙理解，有待于纠正）： 1.民主党。 2.算是自由派。 ...  

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...  

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...  

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...  

用户评价

他的用词很妙的，适合想提高英文写作的人。不要对政客苛求太多，他们也是身不由己。

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。。。

用词平易,表达精确,但是没有内容,没故事,典型的律师写作

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。。。
