Since delivering his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, Barack Obama has been hailed as the clear saviour of not only the Democratic party, but of the integrity of American politics.
Despite the fact that he burst onto the national scene seemingly overnight, his name recognition has grown by leaps and bounds ever since. And in November 2008, he was elected the next President of the United States.
Barack Obama in His Own Words is a book of quotes from the Illinois Senator that allows those who aren't as familiar with his politics to learn quickly where he stands on abortion, religion, AIDS, his critics, foreign policy, Iraq, the War on Terror, unemployment, gay marriage, and a host of other important issues facing America and the world.
Informative and easy to read, this is the perfect potted history for those who donÕt have time to read the biography of AmericaÕs first Black President.

ÔI wouldnÕt run if I didnÕt think I could win.Õ
ÔI donÕt want people to pretend IÕm not black or that itÕs somehow not relevant.Õ
