(展开全部) 　　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 Senator Obama called “the audacity of hope.”
　　　　Now, in The Audacity of Hope, Senator Obama calls 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 Senator 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, members of the Senate, even the president, is a vigorous search for connection: the foundation for a radically hopeful political consensus.
　　　　A senator and a lawyer, a professor and a father, a Christian and a skeptic, and above all a student of history and human nature, Senator 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.”

勇者无畏
抱竹国宝

美国政治向来标榜平等开放，但大凡对华盛顿政治生态有些了解的人都明白国会山里依旧有着森严的等级秩序。虽然都是身为“选民公仆”国会议员，但在议场里也都讲究个高低贵贱。比如在分配议员办公室时，新科议员总得窝在位置最不好的房间。若碰上那些宦海沉浮多年的老江湖，还得毕恭毕敬如学生般致敬请安。无论是参议院还是众议院，那些重...... (30回应)

The Audacity of Hope --- 试着翻译一下就是大胆的...

奥巴马当总统都100天，我也才看完他的这本书。这是本他当选参议员后写的书。可以说是他后来竞选总统的纲领预演。这位富有才华的总统还真是能写。至少我觉得他要是去写小说，有个好故事，他一定没有问题驾驭语言。这本书展现他实际的智慧。他是一个做事的人，而且是那种从基层做起的人。是那种有心交游各方人士，合作解决实际...... (5回应)

又到美国大选年

2004年，郁闷的民主党人莫明其妙地推出了John Kerry作为代表，最后完败给George Bush。现在人们还记得John Kerry什么呢？估计就是两句话了: 1."You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do y...... (1回应)

为自己拉选票，我们都该学习奥巴马
贾不许

曾在报纸上看到一篇总结奥巴马竞选技巧的文章，里面提到美国著名政治嘻哈团队“民主党说唱者”在一首名为《走出去投票》的歌里唱到：“你们所有政客都在努力仇恨我的人／看我的人在每个州赢得大多数选票／你们无法阻止将要发生的事／我们将创造历史／走出去投票／世界即将改变，因为奥巴马……” 不久又听说奥巴马为自己的对手、共和党副...... (64回应)

无所畏惧的希望
许应许

这也许是奥巴马给世界精英们传递的最重要的信息，尤其在这危机与平静并存的时刻许宏在富于自治和民主传统的国家，如果有人想担任议员、州长、总统这样的公共职务，只要符合宪法规定，这人会很自然地去参加竞选，而不是通过其它方式。他或她要做的最重要的事情就是通过竞选让公众相信自己比其它参选人更能胜任这个工作。...... (3回应)
