I really admire Obama's prepared speeches, and I bought this book to use as a reference/reader/example when preparing speeches of my own. While I don't refer to it terribly often any more, when I first got it there were quite a few speeches I read through over and over, marked up, and borrowed structure and strategy from. I'm confident I'm a better speaker for it. ( ) Well selected collection of his speeches. Excellent portrayal of his tenets for social order, the role of the individual with rights and responsibilities for political order and the betterment of life, for all. Freedom to pursue the individual’s dreams, balanced with the responsibilities to community. All is premised upon respect for the dignity in all others that we seek others to recognize in ourselves, and which we hold as our own dignity no reviews | add a review
Barack Obama's political life can be chronicled through a series of major addresses in which he spoke to the nation with a voice uniquely his own. His eloquence, both written and spoken, propelled him to national prominence and ultimately made it possible for the son of a Kenyan man and a white woman from Kansas to become the first black president of the United States.
