Drs. Bruce and Molly Recommend - The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream
Posted by Dr. Molly Roberts on November 5th, 2008
I so want to be able to have hope again in the power of our government to make our society a better place to live. Because of that, I love even just the title of Barack Obama’s book, The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream. The rest of the book is pretty darn good as well. I read this when it first came out, but I dusted it off again recently in light of recent events.
If President Obama can pull off what he writes about in this book..my, I want to come along for the ride, and I want us all to be on this particular bus together! This is the current generation’s version of the Freedom Ride, and the big question is whether we will rise to the challenge of creating more fellowship with each other or if we will live up to our lowest expectations of ourselves as a country.
As Abraham Lincoln said, “The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.”
It is time to set aside our differences, even our preferred candidates, and come together as a nation of well-intentioned and honorable souls.
