In July 2004, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. 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".

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 451
Today - as repeated attempts to “fix ourselves and our lives” fail - many of us face unprecedented fears about the future, struggle with unspeakable life tragedies, and sink under the belief that certain lives do not matter in our society. Others confront our epidemic of anxiety with fierce resistance, or “the fight to be right”, criticizing anyone and everyone just to end up stuck. In the face of such pervasive human suffering, New York Times best-selling author and legendary life coach Iyanla Vanzant challenges us: What if it’s not them - what if it’s you?

Publisher's Summary
Born in the USA, the son of an African father and an American mother, a boy who spent his childhood in Indonesia and Hawaii, Barack Obama is truly a citizen of the world. His campaign for the presidency is powered by a fierce optimism, an exuberant sense of purpose and determination, and, above all, a belief that change can happen.
Garen Thomas takes us through the life of Barack Obama, from his struggle to fit in with his classmates and concern about not knowing his biological father, through his term as Illinois senator, to his historic and momentum-building run for president of the United States.
Barack Obama is a man who uses his words to inspire us. We can have a better future. We can be whatever we want to be. Yes. We. Can.

ATTITUDE NOT APTITUDE DETERMINES ALTITUDE
What made the experience of listening to Yes We Can the most enjoyable?
This was a story which I knew the ending of because it is historical, but I appreciated the background information which showed a very ordinary fellow.
Which scene was your favorite?
The scene of this future president of the United States having to sleep on the streets of New York. I said, "only in America."
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did want to listen to it all in one sitting, it was, however, written for children. Even though it was written for children, I kept listening,

Written in a very simple language!
Would you listen to Yes We Can again? Why?
Yes, I would listen to this book again not because it's intellectually challenging because it tells a story in a very simple way.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Yes We Can?
1. Obama at Harvard had planned a scene and refuse to go according to plan
2. His fight to not become what is expected of him; for example hang out with people of the same race.
Have you listened to any of Roscoe Orman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No I have not
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No but I could have done that as I was interested in the subject
