My thesis highlights Barack Obama’s campaign rhetoric and life changing intensions. The influence of the Civil Rights Movement’s leaders during his teenage years and the power of Abraham Lincoln after Obama became a civil rights lawyer peaked in the campaign of the current president who properly used the notions of those great men to put through his ideas and become the 44th president of the United States. The analysis of his self-written books and his speeches present his idea about a colorblind America, in which citizens can leave without racial and ethnic prejudices. Barack Obama's life is presented from the view point of racial influences by Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. His community organizer side in Chicago, and the planning politician in Washingon foreshadowing his 2008 presidental campaign rhetoric.
