Why Not Me?: The Inside Story Behind the Making and the Unmaking of the Franken Presidency, Hörbuch, Digital, 346min
Updated with more on the real race in 2000!First came Theodore White's The Making of the President, 1960. Then All the President's Men. Now the searing chronicle that will forever change the way we view the man and the office...Why Not Me? chronicles the dramatic rise and dizzying fall of Al Franken, who would become the first Jewish president of the United States. Meet the president as a young man. Witness the Franken campaign in its infancy, as the candidate pledges "to walk the state of New Hampshire, diagonally and then from side to side." Go behind the scenes and meet Team Franken, the candidate's brain trust: including brother and deputy campaign manager Otto, a recovering sex addict and alcoholic, and campaign manager Norm Ornstein, the think-tank policy wonk who masterminds the single-issue (ATM fees) campaign. Cheer as Franken stuns the pundits by defeating Al Gore for the Democratic nomination, then is swept into office carrying all fifty states and the District of Columbia.Then, through excerpts from Bob Woodward's detailed account of the first hundred days, The Void, go inside the Franken White House, which is gripped by crisis from day one. After the highly medicated chief executive exhibits a roller coaster of bipolar behavior, Franken is forced to cooperate with the Joint Congressional Committee on the President's Mood Swings. And when the committee releases Franken's personal diaries to the public, his presidency faces its ultimate crisis.It began on a cold day in January, when Alan Stuart Franken took the oath of office and became the 44th President of the United States. It ended 144 tumultuous days later with the words: "Boy, am I sorry." Here for the first time in paperback is the searing chronicle of Al Franken's journey to the White House - the visionary campaign, the landslide victory, the hookers, the payoffs - told through confessions of key aides, Franken's own diaries, a Language: English.

The World's Final Chapter: Mystery Babylon Disaster Final Discovery Unfold , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 88min
We are getting ready to experience one of the most important endeavors we have ever encountered in our entire lives. Sit back, and experience the best listen of your life. Little do you know that Obama and the leaders of our church have a secret sinister pact to hide from the public the most terrible warning encrypted inside our Holy Bible - the only prophecy that has remained obscured under thick veils to this day. Because, according to the final chapters of the Bible, Obama will not finish his second term. He is the 44th and last president of the United States of America. And our country and every American citizen are about to face the greatest bedevilment, from an enemy fiercer and more powerful then ISIS, al-Qaeda, North Korea, and Iran combined. Right now only a handful of church leaders know the true meaning of this biblical prophecy, and they swore a blood oath to take this sacred secret to their graves. Because if this leaks out, it will cause panic among all faithful followers of the word of our Lord. Obama himself is unaware of the extent of the massacre that is to come and that there is nothing anyone can do to prevent it from happening. This ancient prophecy is coded within the visions of four men. These four evangelists are John the Apostle, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Ezekiel. They were chosen to give a very precise and terrifying warning of things to come in the end of times. This prophecy will fulfill the act of God. And the world as we know it will perish in flames. Therefore, before going any further, I must warn you: What you are about to hear is deeply disturbing, because it links current events to ancient biblical prophecies, step by step. Once you discover the chilling evidence of the words of our Lord coming true, there is no turning back! The revelation so powerful when you see the biblical evidence that this great unavoidable ruination will become reality. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lawrence D Palmer.

I Am Tan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 10min
There are white people, black people, brown people, red people, and yellow people, but what about the people who are bi-racial or multi-racial? They may find that they do not fit so neatly into one of these basic colors.This question of race and color leads one six-year-old boy named Christian on a quest to seek answers. He asks his parents, kids at school, and teachers what color they think he is and what color he should say he is. As the day progresses, he hears stereotypes about race and color, but he also hears valuable information which helps him to embrace all of who he is. By the end of the day, he has learned to think outside of a black-and-white box.From publisher:Here in America, it is more likely that people will be described as white or black, versus Caucasian or African American, so color is the audiobook's focus. The main character of this audiobook has a white mommy and a black daddy. The word tan is from the child's own mouth. He came to this conclusion when he was coloring a picture of his family. The brown crayon that he used for his daddy, was too dark for him, and the light peach crayon he used for his mommy, was too light for him; however, the tan crayon was just right!There are endless possibilities to what a person might be mixed with. The author was only able to add a few of these in this children's audiobook, but she did want to illustrate that there are many tan people throughout the world, who are more than simply black, white, red, yellow, or brown. The other racial mixes included in this story are: Filipino and white; Asian and black; Mexican and black; and white, black, and American Indian. Two famous people are also included! Mr. Obama, who was the 44th president of the United States is half black and half white, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is half black and half Samoan.This audiobook is written on the level of a small child, and the author hopes that as children grow older, their parents will ungekürzt.

A Promised Land
A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making—from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency—a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil. Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation’s highest office. Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune’s Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden. A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective—the story of one man’s bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of “hope and change,” and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible. This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama’s conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.- Shop: buecher
