Barack Obama discusses his new book The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream.
Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper gives a rousing introduction of Barack Obama: a senator and a lawyer, a professor and a father, a Christian and a skeptic, and above all a student of history and human nature. In July 2004, Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the poltical spectrum. In his new book, Senator Obama calls for a different brand of politics — a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness and nobility of a spirit at the hart of “our improbable experiment in democracy.”

James McGreevey reads from and discusses his provocative memoir, The Confession.
In August 2004, New Jersey Governor James McGreevey made history when he stepped before microphones and declared, “My truth is that I am a gay American,” and announced his resignation. The story made international headlines – but what led to that moment was a human and political drama more complex and fascinating than anyone knew. Now, in this extraordinarily candid memoir, McGreevey shares his story of a life of ambition, moral compromise and redemption.
