"Eight years in the White House went by so fast. That's why I'm so grateful that Lawrence was there to capture them. I hope you enjoy his work as much as I do." --From the foreword by Barack Obama When Lawrence Jackson took the job as White House photographer in early 2009, he knew he'd have a front row seat to history. What he didn't expect was the deep personal connection he would feel, as a fellow African American, with the President of the United States. Yes We Did is filled with Lawrence's intimate photographs and reflections, as well as first-person recollections from President Obama, everyday citizens, and notable personalities including Bono, Stephen Curry, Valerie Jarrett, Admiral Mike Mullen, and others.

Il s’est notamment imposé au fil des ans comme un orateur hors pair, et nombre de ses discours demeurent en mémoire. Cette anthologie en rassemble huit. Dans une langue tour à tour déterminée, grave ou encore exaltée, Barack Obama n’a de cesse de réaffirmer son amour et sa confiance en son pays et ses habitants et, quelles que soient les circonstances, de toujours véhiculer un message porteur d’espoir, à l’image de son slogan : Yes, we can ! "Parce que le plus puissant vocable de notre démocratie, c’est ce "Nous". "Nous, le peuple." "Nous vaincrons." "Oui, nous pouvons." Ce mot, personne ne le possède. Il appartient à tous. Oh, quelle glorieuse mission nous a-t-on confiée, de tâcher sans cesse d’améliorer ce grand pays qui est le nôtre !"

Es sind die Themen unserer Zeit: Klimawandel, Migration, Terrorismus, Atomwaffen, rassistische Gewalt. Es sind die Themen, die Barack Obama in acht Jahren als US-Präsident wie kein anderer Staatsmann verfolgt hat. In seinen Reden zieht er unaufgeregt und konzentriert Lehren aus einer fehlgeleiteten Politik der Vergangenheit und richtet den Blick auf die Zukunft. Barack Obama ist aber nicht nur ein scharfsinniger Politiker, er ist einer der Menschen, die sich nicht scheuen, Mitgefühl zu zeigen, Verzweiflung und Trauer. Unvergessen seine Rede beim Begräbnis von Nelson Mandela oder seine spontane Äußerung zu dem Attentat in Orlando. Auf seinen Reden gründet sich sein Vermächtnis, Ideale auch angesichts einer schwierigen Realität nicht zu verraten.

Guerre en Irak, effondrement du système financier, faillite de grandes entreprises, forte poussée du chômage : les États-Unis traversent une crise majeure. Face à ce désastre, et dans sa course finale vers l'élection présidentielle de 2008, Barack Obama propose un programme de réunification nationale qui met un frein aux dérives de la finance et combat les inégalités sociales et raciales. Un discours qui n'est pas sans rappeler celui de Franklin D. Roosevelt, après la crise de 1929 dont l'Amérique sort ruinée. Il propose à l'époque un " New Deal ", vaste projet social, économique et politique qui dessine les contours d'un " État-providence " à l'américaine.

L'America non è stata mai così a rischio e impaurita come dopo l'11 settembre. Mai così in crisi è apparsa la sua capacità "convenzionale" di dominare i conflitti, di fronte a un nemico, come il terrorismo, del tutto "non-convenzionale". Mai come oggi si sono rivelate fragili la forza propulsiva del suo sistema economico, la sua sicurezza energetica, la sua capacità di aggregazione del melting-pot etnico, linguistico, religioso che la costituisce. La risposta di Barack Obama alla crisi americana non consiste in una sorta di pacifismo arrendevole, o di solidarismo "buonista", o di anticapitalismo intento a sminuire la forza della competizione e del mercato. Si oppone alla guerra in Iraq, ma vuole aumentare la forza e la qualità dell'apparato militare del suo paese. Vuole chiudere Guantanamo, ripristinare la legalità interna e internazionale, chiama al rispetto dei diritti civili, ma sostiene tutto ciò per poter condurre con maggiore forza e determinazione la lotta mortale contro il terrorismo fondamentalista. E ancora, Obama porta nel cuore della politica americana una motivazione, uno spirito, un afflato che sono profondamente religiosi, ma sa essere assolutamente laico nel disegnare, su temi come l'aborto, il controllo della natalità, l'etica della vita, gli scenari di un nuovo pluralismo e di una nuova tolleranza. Soprattutto, Obama non promette il cambiamento. Al contrario, lo sollecita, lo chiede agli americani.

De verkiezing van Barack Obama als president van de Verenigde Staten is een bepalend moment in de Amerikaanse geschiedenis. Na jaren van falend beleid en politiek uit Washington is dit onze kans om de Amerikaanse droom terug te winnen.

In deze pagina's vind je gedurfde en specifieke ideeën over hoe we onze kwakkelende economie kunnen herstellen en de middenklasse kunnen versterken, gezondheidszorg voor iedereen betaalbaar kunnen maken, energieonafhankelijkheid kunnen bereiken en Amerika veilig kunnen houden in een gevaarlijke wereld. Geloven in Verandering vraagt ons niet alleen om te geloven in Barack Obama's vermogen om verandering te brengen in Washington, maar ook om te geloven in ons vermogen om de wereld te veranderen.

The Audacity of Hope is Barack Obama's call for a new kind of politics -- a politics that builds upon those shared understandings that pull us together as Americans. Lucid in his vision of American's place in the world, refreshingly candid about his family life and his time in the Senate, Obama here sets out his political convictions and inspires us to trust in the dogged optimism that has long defined us and that is our best hope going forward.

In "Dromen van mijn vader' vertelt Barack Obama helder, meeslepend en zonder vals sentiment hoe hij als zoon van een zwarte Afrikaanse vader en een witte Amerikaanse moeder probeert een betekenisvol Amerikaans leven te leiden. Hij is opgevoed door zijn moeder; zijn vader was de grote afwezige, een figuur in verhalen. Wanneer hij hoort dat zijn vader is omgekomen bij een verkeersongeluk, besluit Obama op zoek te gaan naar zijn wortels. Via Kansas en Hawaï reist hij uiteindelijk naar Kenia, waar hij zijn Afrikaanse familie ontmoet. Daar leert hij over de familie waaruit hij is voortgekomen, en hij neemt zich voor het zelf anders te doen. Dat was het begin van een fenomenale carrière als advocaat, senator en uiteindelijk: president.
