Change We Can Believe In: Barack Obama's Plan to Renew America's Promise by Barack Obama

The election of Barack Obama as President of the USA is a defining moment for all of us. After years of failed policies and a failed politics from Washington, change has arrived. Barack Obama now has the chance to reclaim the American dream. He has proven to be a new kind of leader-one who can bring people together, be honest about the challenges we all face, and move his nation forward. Change We Can Believe In outlines his vision for America and its standing in the world. In these pages you will find bold and specific ideas about how Barack Obama plans to fix the ailing American economy and strengthen its middle class, make health care affordable for all, achieve energy independence, and keep America safe in a dangerous world. Change We Can Believe In asks us not just to believe in Barack Obama's ability to bring change to Washington, it asks us to believe in the ability of each of us to change the world.

Change We Can Believe In Reviews

The most exciting politician of the day. * * Independent * *
Like Bill Clinton, he has the knack of weaving together the personal and the anecdotal with the political and the conceptual, so that each point seems both persuasive and commonsensical. * * Guardian * *
This may be the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician. * * Joe Klein, Time [on Dreams From My Father] * *
The speeches are crafted for Obama as a great orator; on the page they still sing with sincerity. -- Ian Finlayson * * The Times * *
[The manifesto] should finally put paid to the common misconception that Obama is all style but no substance . . . when the reader reaches Obama's speeches . . . it feels a little like stepping into a Ferrari. The man who has become US president is living proof that words matter. He single-handedly placed soaring, thoughtful and eloquent rhetoric back into the centre of political discourse. -- Niall Stanage * * Sunday Business Post * *

About Barack Obama

Barack Obama was born in Honolulu in 1961. In his early twenties he found his vocation working among poor communities on the south side of Chicago. Later he went to law school at Harvard University, where he became the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. In 1995 he published his memoir Dreams from My Father, which became a bestseller soon after it was reissued in 2004. After returning to Chicago, he was elected to the Illinois State Senate in 1996. Barack Obama delivered the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and later that year he was elected to the US Senate. His second book, The Audacity of Hope, was published in 2006 and became an immediate bestseller. In November 2008 Senator Obama beat John McCain to become the 44th President of the United States of America. He is married to Michelle, with whom he has two daughters, Sasha and Malia.
