Barack Obama had a gift, and he knew it. He had a way of making very smart, very accomplished people feel virtuous just by wanting to help Barack Obama. It had happened at Harvard Law School in the mid-1980s, at a time when the school was embroiled in fights over political correctness. He had won one of the truly plum prizes of overachievement at Harvard: he had been voted president of the law review, the first African-American ever so hored. Though his politics were conventionally (if t stridently) liberal, even the conservatives voted for him. This book contains 126 inspirational speeches by candidate Obama during his presidential campaign that inspired millions of people across the country and the world
