100 Speeches by Barack Obama
It was a speech that catapulted Barack Obama's political career. It happened at the 2004 Democratic National Convention and was an address so impassioned, so electricfying it is still referenced years later.
Ditto for Obama's speech against the Iraq war in October 2002 two years before he would become a United States Senator. Many believe this speech could be a decisive factor in the 2008 presidential election. His foresight is breathtaking, yes, but it's his conviction — counter to popular opinion — that shows us that Obama is as much about leadership as he is about politics.
That's why we compiled 100 Speeches by Barack Obama.
Frankly, we can not think of another contemporary, political figure whose speeches are noteworthy enough to preserve, organize and publish.
