This book attempts to uncover new, contextual nuances to the speeches made by President Barack Obama. It is a compilation of nuggets that President Obama has given us over the past 4 years. His words are compelling and challenging, direct and demanding. Here, in Obama's own words, you can read many of the memorable lines that will be documented in tomorrow's history books; lines that will be often repeated and freely quoted. Obama's speeches are filled with poignant and thought-provoking ideas, and are delivered with poetic artistry. Four of his most seminal speeches are reproduced in their entirety in this book: (1) keynote address to the Democratic National Convention (July 2004); (2) Call to Renewal Discourse in 2006; (3) address to the thousands gathered in Grant Park, Chicago on November 4 2008, upon becoming the 44th President -elect; and (4) the inaugural speech on January 20, 2009.
