The Audacity of Obama

While publicly Obama comes off as a cordial, well-spoken gentlemen, he has never been one to shy away from controversial issues with powerful people. But it is also in the way that this Democratic candidate has spent a significant part of his time talking to the small, oftentimes forgotten audiences of rural America, that shows his true character.

While time spent campaigning to citizens that have little to no economic or political influence was once a thing of the past, this senator’s recent highlights include trips to a community college in Marshalltown Iowa, and to an even smaller audience in Portsmouth New Hampshire.

In a present time of uncertainty in America, Barack Obama is sending the message that he wants to stand not only for us as America’s leader, but with us as Americans. The newly coined Democratic frontrunner calls this type of ideology, of standing together as fellow countrymen, The Audacity of Hope.
