Als er auf der Trauerfeier der Bürgerrechtsikone John Lewis spricht, sind die USA aus den Fugen geraten: Hunderttausende Corona-Opfer, Millionen Menschen ohne Arbeit, massive Proteste nach dem gewaltsamen Tod von George Floyd. Doch Barack Obama tritt mit seinen Worten an gegen die Spaltung eines ganzen Landes. Mit klarem Blick und unverrückbarer Herzensgüte beschreibt er einen Weg. Aus Chaos und Krise zu einem anderen, einem offenen Amerika. Es braucht Mut ist Barack Obamas Glaubenszeugnis: Gerechtigkeit, Vernunft, eine bessere Zukunft für alle.

Es sind die Themen unserer Zeit: Klimawandel, Migration, Terrorismus, Atomwaffen, rassistische Gewalt. Es sind die Themen, die Barack Obama in acht Jahren als US-Präsident wie kein anderer Staatsmann verfolgt hat. In seinen Reden zieht er unaufgeregt und konzentriert Lehren aus einer fehlgeleiteten Politik der Vergangenheit und richtet den Blick auf die Zukunft. Barack Obama ist aber nicht nur ein scharfsinniger Politiker, er ist einer der Menschen, die sich nicht scheuen, Mitgefühl zu zeigen, Verzweiflung und Trauer. Unvergessen seine Rede beim Begräbnis von Nelson Mandela oder seine spontane Äußerung zu dem Attentat in Orlando. Auf seinen Reden gründet sich sein Vermächtnis, Ideale auch angesichts einer schwierigen Realität nicht zu verraten.

L'America non è stata mai così a rischio e impaurita come dopo l'11 settembre. Mai così in crisi è apparsa la sua capacità "convenzionale" di dominare i conflitti, di fronte a un nemico, come il terrorismo, del tutto "non-convenzionale". Mai come oggi si sono rivelate fragili la forza propulsiva del suo sistema economico, la sua sicurezza energetica, la sua capacità di aggregazione del melting-pot etnico, linguistico, religioso che la costituisce. La risposta di Barack Obama alla crisi americana non consiste in una sorta di pacifismo arrendevole, o di solidarismo "buonista", o di anticapitalismo intento a sminuire la forza della competizione e del mercato. Si oppone alla guerra in Iraq, ma vuole aumentare la forza e la qualità dell'apparato militare del suo paese. Vuole chiudere Guantanamo, ripristinare la legalità interna e internazionale, chiama al rispetto dei diritti civili, ma sostiene tutto ciò per poter condurre con maggiore forza e determinazione la lotta mortale contro il terrorismo fondamentalista. E ancora, Obama porta nel cuore della politica americana una motivazione, uno spirito, un afflato che sono profondamente religiosi, ma sa essere assolutamente laico nel disegnare, su temi come l'aborto, il controllo della natalità, l'etica della vita, gli scenari di un nuovo pluralismo e di una nuova tolleranza. Soprattutto, Obama non promette il cambiamento. Al contrario, lo sollecita, lo chiede agli americani.

L’entrée de Barack Obama à la Maison-Blanche en 2009 a marqué un tournant dans l’histoire des États-Unis. Il s’est notamment imposé au fil des ans comme un orateur hors pair, et nombre de ses discours demeurent en mémoire. Cette anthologie en rassemble huit. Dans une langue tour à tour déterminée, grave ou encore exaltée, Barack Obama n’a de cesse de réaffirmer son amour et sa confiance en son pays et ses habitants et, quelles que soient les circonstances, de toujours véhiculer un message porteur d’espoir, à l’image de son slogan : Yes, we can ! "Parce que le plus puissant vocable de notre démocratie, c’est ce "Nous". "Nous, le peuple." "Nous vaincrons." "Oui, nous pouvons." Ce mot, personne ne le possède. Il appartient à tous. Oh, quelle glorieuse mission nous a-t-on confiée, de tâcher sans cesse d’améliorer ce grand pays qui est le nôtre !"

Eloquent, ehrlich und mit Kampfeswillen beschreibt er die aktuelle Situation. Eine Stimme der Vernunft in Zeiten des Egoismus, eine fulminante Bestandsaufnahme der Politik unserer Zeit, eine Beschwörung der Demokratie und ein kämpferischer Appell an die junge Generation.
