Feels like hope, power and death.
Start with The Audacity of Hope.
Obama taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago for twelve years before entering politics; the book’s title came from a sermon by Jeremiah Wright.
The difference between being in the house and being present in it.
I reminded the men in the audience that being a father meant more than fathering a child; that even those of us who were physically present in the home are often emotionally absent; that precisely because many of us didn’t have fathers in the house we have to redouble our efforts to break the cycle; and that if we want to pass on high expectations to our children, we have to have higher expectations for ourselves.
