Politics summary

Audacity of hope, article;
This article was a speech read at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
Obama speaks of his parents and grandparents efforts to better their own life's and better the lives of their children. He speaks of where he comes from and how all this has affected his life and made him see how America really is a land of opportunity for everyone, no matter what the race. He then goes on to say that he supports John Kerry because of his believes and what he would do to better the country. He states that John Kerry will do what ever is necessary to move America forward and will not stagger when the time comes to defend ourselfs from our enemies or any threats. Overall Obama gives his support of John Kerry being chosen as the presidential candidate in 2004. I chose this article because it was the most interesting out of all of the other long, dry, and boring articles that we read..... don't know what to write for the last 30 seconds so yeah.....

  2. I think Obama's speech supporting John Kerry was a rather inspirational one just as most of his are. I think that issues Obama brought up about race and family are issues that most Americans value now, especially as we are entering into this new era of hope. Many people view Obama as a symbol of hope, how do you think this affects the nation's problems as a whole?
