The Audacity of Hope

Barack Obama

President-elect Barack Obama

Two years ago, I read a book that changed my view of what great lead­er­ship can be. It’s been a long jour­ney since I read that book, strug­gling to con­vince every­one and myself that this was the man that would be our next pres­i­dent. My hope of him win­ning blinded the cyn­i­cal and more real­is­tic side of my brain. That’s the audac­ity of hope. 

More pho­tos from Cal­lie Shell and boston.com

Update: I just had to add this one.

Pound it
