At this phase, Barack Obama was resolving the matter of his black identity, the'sufficient of a cross to bear' as he predicted. During this second book, The Audacity of Hope, published in 2006, the revived soul is liberated to explore the universal issues of poverty in whatever color, race or area they look. The people have every reason to doubt that the motives of people who bid for high political office but in Barack Obama they discovered a leader whom they might put their faith.

Barack Obama clarifies the political and philosophical scenario in the USA with fantastic clarity and erudition. According to broad reading, years of working with communities that are poor and wide-ranging talks with politicians of all persuasions, he hunts for answers that both goal his aims and compromise with the realities of their frequently gridlocked political circumstance.

Another of his intentions is to set up universal healthcare, free at the point of shipping. He's conscious that in gun control, healthcare supply and welfare benefits normally, many other advanced nations are now far ahead of the USA. He regrets the planet's richest nation warrants the welfare of many of its own citizens.
He opposes fundamentalism in all of its guises and considers that individuals of all faiths want the very same things: purposeful job, social security and family , and they can attain them coming together in a spirit of tolerance and mutual esteem.
