President Barack<br />
OBAMA<br />
In His Own<br />
words<br />
When Barack Obama in February, 2007 announced<br />
his candidacy for the U.S. presidency, he cited<br />
the 16th president. Abraham Lincoln, Obama<br />
said, “tells us there is power in words.” During the two years<br />
that followed, Obama proved the truth of Lincoln’s vision.<br />
As he addressed crowds gathered at sites from Lincoln’s<br />
own Springfield, Illinois, to Berlin, Germany, the young<br />
Senator was compared to Ronald Reagan, John F. Kennedy,<br />
and other great Americans whose words earned them the<br />
respect, affection, and loyalty of their countrymen.<br />
These pages share President Obama’s words with our<br />
global readership. This book includes the complete text of<br />
the 44th President’s Inaugural Address. Also featured are<br />
extended excerpts from eight other significant campaign<br />
and pre-presidential speeches. It is our hope that while the<br />
book itself is small, readers will discover that the vision<br />
captured in its pages is large.<br />
