  • President Barack Obama and football icon Marcus Rashford sit down with June Sarpong to discuss campaigning, food poverty and the role that reading has played in their lives. Order A Promised Land: amzn.to/3i3sGI2 and You Are A Champion: amzn.to/3fQWuFc
    #RashfordMeetsObama #APromisedLand #YouAreAChampion
    In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency-a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil.
    Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation's highest office.
    Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune's Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden.
    A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective-the story of one man's bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of "hope and change," and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible.
    This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama's conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.

The moderator, on the other hand, seemed to be on the verge of panic at the beginning and her borderline hysterical laugh because more and more irritating the more it intruded. Next time I hope to be able to enjoy Mr Obama and Mr Rashford, without the repetitive questions. I’m sure they’re more than capable of having a very interesting conversation without.. er... ‘help’.

      He’s scored 9 goals from open play in 40 appearances for England. For an attacking midfielder it is hardly setting the world alight. Calling him a National treasure is frankly ridiculous. Btw I think he seems to have a strong moral compass and that is laudable. I just think calling him a National treasure is a bit OTT.

      Really such inspirational worlds. Out of the mouth of a Psychopathic, Genocidal, War Criminal.

    The biggest take away i get from this is the word "CURIOSITY". Ultimately, this is the fuel to progress. You may never read even one book in your life BUT if you have CURIOSITY, you will make an impact

      When I visit any book shop my curiosity is one the title and what is written at the back cover. Once there is an inspiration I go for the book. My interest is in autobiography, social psychology, environment, sports, geography and the list goes on. Good to be well informed by reading

    I really enjoyed listening to this conversation. I admire people that don't forget where they came from and the community that (in)directly contributed to their success. It really does take a village to raise a child. Also loved the moderator!!

    Love June - she did a great job - but would love to see them both interview each other with their own questions.
