An End to Anti-Intellectualism ...

There are a lot of historical speeches that have been given over the long history of our nation. Many of these speeches are available in various forms, from audio presentations, films or books. Most of these are collections of speeches by numerous presidents and world leaders, but this book is a collection of speeches from just one man, and all of them have been historic. Why? Because quite simply, we're going through the biggest historic upheaval in our nation since America broke away from England and the signing of the constitution.

I think everybody with a pulse, a heartbeat or a shred of common sense now fully understands this.

Barack Obama has not just been a lightning rod for the country or a catalyst to millions of new voters, but has emotionally motivated all those that have seen him speak at rallies or on television. A political movement like this hasn't been seen since either F.D.R. or John F. Kennedy.

After the last two years, it would be near impossible to not know: 'Who is Barack Obama?' Unless you've either been hiding under a rock or purposefully turning your head from the bulk of the information streaming across the planet then you should know, without doubt, exactly who 'Barack Obama' is. If you honestly don't know, then you have an opportunity to find out with this book. And please understand, that not every person who runs for public office puts what they want to achieve in print and publish it. So, whether you like the man or not, everyone has an equal chance to know what his policies actually are, what his plans are and who he is without hearing it through the static of negative distortion.

Maybe we should expect all of our public servants to provide voters with such publications on what they want to do for us. We would get more out of them if we did. Thus, this book is invaluable now and will be even more valuable in the future two, four and six years into his Presidency.

I can imagine this book will be amended to reflect the speech from earlier tonight that was referred to as his 'Closing Argument'. For the last several months the nation has endured a more toned down version of Barack Obama, probably because some folks didn't too much care for his ability to orate. Unfortunately, when you have a simple message and it has truth to it, it is easy to tell and quickly disseminates. Why? Because people know the truth when they hear it. That may be a bit of a grandiose statement, but it does sum up the political environment that we've all been subjected to in the last two years. The problem though is that the last two years has been short on truth and long on hyperbole.

It does bother me when I hear folks say 'he's really a slick talker', or any foolish derivation thereof. Barack Obama seems to be successfully taking on one of the biggest problems in our nation that hasn't yet been addressed (yes ... gasp ... if you can believe that).

Anti-intellectualism.

People have long been running in fear, and breaking down into fits of furious anger over it, but it looks as though it's day is finally come and the moral compass may just shift back to what once made our country great. Good leadership, smart and sound direction based on principle, intelligence and humanity and of course - compassion.

This book is a must read that sheds the proper light on a coming Administration and the direction of our nation.

Yes we can?

"Change We Can Believe In" is a slim little tome summing up Barack Obama's "plan to renew America's promise." It's an interesting work. As political philosophy, it will one day be studied. Agree or disagree with Obama, it's compelling.

"Change we can believe in" mostly promotes Obama's socialist ideas. If you want to know his "government can solve everything",this book has it in detail. It's socialism with a smile (and easier reading than Karl Marx-it's best read with a hot cup of Starbucks) He talks about renewing the environment, protecting a "woman's right to choose",finding alternative energy sources,and so on.

"Change" can get for some tedious reading,but it's the closing speeches that are the meat of the book. It's got his speeches from Iowa and Michigan,his "Yes we can" speech in New Hampshire,his Father's Day speech,and the race speech in Philadelphia. Obama is one of the great orators of the 21st century. Again,agree or disagree with him, he is a brilliant writer and showman. His speeches reveal an almost classical training- did he read those of Abraham Lincoln and Pericles? The speeches are worthwhile reading for speechwriters.

It's great writing,but is it change we can believe in?

Details of Obama's changes

This platform for Barack Obama's plans for change is well-written, concise and clearly presented. I have bought 2 additional copies for friends who were not sure what his proposals included. The book is nicely divided to take you to the issue that interests you most. An important resource for those who need more than sound bytes to explain Obama's policies and plans.

At this defining moment in our history, Americans are hungry for change. After years of failed policies and failed politics from Washington, this is our chance to reclaim the American dream. Barack Obama has proven to be a new kind of leader?one who can bring people together, be honest about the challenges we face, and move this nation forward. Change We Can Believe In outlines his vision for America.

In these pages you will find bold and specific ideas about how to fix our ailing economy and strengthen the 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 you not just to believe in Barack Obama?s ability to bring change to Washington, it asks you to believe in yours.
