(展开全部) 　　Barack Obama's first book, Dreams from My Father, was a compelling and moving memoir focusing on personal issues of race, identity, and community. With his second book The Audacity of Hope, Obama engages themes raised in his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, shares personal views on faith and values and offers a vision of the future that involves repairing a "political process that is broken" and restoring a government that has fallen out of touch with the people. We had the opportunity to ask Senator Obama a few questions about writing, reading, and politics--see his responses below. --Daphne Durham 20 Second Interview: A Few Words with Barack Obama
　　
　　 How did writing a book that you knew would be read so closely by so many compare to writing your first book, when few people knew who you were?
　　 In many ways, Dreams from My Father was harder to write. At that point, I wasn't even sure that I could write a book. And writing the first book really was a process of self-discovery, since it touched on my family and my childhood in a much more intimate way. On the other hand, writing The Audacity of Hope paralleled the work that I do every day--trying to give shape to all the issues that we face as a country, and providing my own personal stamp on them.
　　
　　 What is your writing process like? You have such a busy schedule, how did you find time to write?
　　 I'm a night owl, so I usually wrote at night after my Senate day was over, and after my family was asleep--from 9:30 p.m. or so until 1 a.m. I would work off an outline--certain themes or stories that I wanted to tell--and get them down in longhand on a yellow pad. Then I'd edit while typing in what I'd written.
　　
　　 If readers are to come away from The Audacity of Hope with one action item (a New Year's Resolution for 2007, perhaps?), what should it be?
　　 Get involved in an issue that you're passionate about. It almost doesnt matter what it is--improving the school system, developing strategies to wean ourselves off foreign oil, expanding health care for kids. We give too much of our power away, to the professional politicians, to the lobbyists, to cynicism. And our democracy suffers as a result.
　　
　　 You're known for being able to work with people across ideological lines. Is that possible in today's polarized Washington?
　　 It is possible. There are a lot of well-meaning people in both political parties. Unfortunately, the political culture tends to emphasize conflict, the media emphasizes conflict, and the structure of our campaigns rewards the negative. I write about these obstacles in chapter 4 of my book, "Politics." When you focus on solving problems instead of scoring political points, and emphasize common sense over ideology, you'd be surprised what can be accomplished. It also helps if you're willing to give other people credit--something politicians have a hard time doing sometimes.

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

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)

认识都存在过程
yuanli

他书写得不错，但是作为政治家，或者说给别人带来福祉的领导者，还太嫩了点，虽然他的经历让人无可指责，但是他的愿景却非常模糊，change what? 他是个伟大的人，但是还没有成为卓越的领导者，我对他的外交理论非常非常不理解，觉得共和党更可靠,可是麦凯恩太老了，他又有点小帅。。 ...... (1回应)
