Obama's Tribute to his Mother [ Audiobook CD ]



Uploaded by: MrObama
Video Description:
An extract from the preface to Barack Obama's first book "Dreams from my Father", in which he pays tribute to his mother Ann Dunham.
Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance by Barack Obama [Audiobook CD]
In this memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American.
It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father (a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man) has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey: first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mother's family to Hawaii; then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his father's life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance.
Obama's second book:
The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream by Barack Obama
In The Audacity of Hope he draws on his experience as a senator and lawyer, a professor and father, a Christian and a skeptic, to illuminate the greatness of America's original ideals and to remind us how vital it is to keep them before us.
Along the way he explores such charged topics as globalization, the notion of American exceptionalism, the function of religion in public life, and the struggle to find a shared language in a nation torn by differences. While sharing his personal views on family, faith, and values, he argues that our very survival depends on finding common ground.

parent that was some big whig i had heard falacies about black crime and other ignorance from the same people who treated me like shit but when i met blacks or people of mixed origin that are ignorantly considered black and only black i found them less material, more friendly and most really good people through my struggles i relate more to black people because i know how one-sided and ridiculous whites can be, they perpetrate the same criminal or violent acts in better neighborhoods with a
better opportunity ... ( 3 weeks ago by WillVill28)
better opportunity of success and blame blacks and other minorities for the crime rate and basic disorder. I have been called a nigger-lover,extreme liberal,etc by whites who claim they love God. I understand the way many blacks feel about whites in the same breathe we are not all bad most are taught lies. Thanks to those who read this its kinda something i was wanting to get off my chest and this video just seemed to be fate. Thanks again to the readers and "understanders"
