The Audacity of Hope

Barack Obama's religious background is more diverse than that of most prominent politicians.

Politics is the one thing that moves the United States in a positive direction, but that depends on your political party. If you’re Republican, Democratic, or a Third-Party that statement is viewed differently. The parties weren’t as divided as they are now.

President Barack Obama speech on " Don't Tell Me Words Don't Matter" inspired me as a young African American male who attends The College of Staten Island to see hope in a different way than it is explained in the dictionary.
