[编辑本段]生平简介
奥巴马出生于夏威夷。父亲是肯尼亚一名黑人经济学家，母亲是美国一名白人女教师。父母在奥巴马两岁的时候分手，在听说父亲1982年在肯尼亚死于车祸前，奥巴马只见过父亲一次，奥巴马跟着母亲和姥姥姥爷长大。
父亲贝拉克·奥巴马是一名在夏威夷念书的肯尼亚留学生。母亲安·邓纳姆是一个白人，原本来自肯萨斯州。当邓纳姆与老奥巴马结婚时，她刚好18岁。这一段婚姻很短暂，老奥巴马离家前往哈佛大学念经济学的博士学位，就把年轻的妻子和年幼的儿子巴里(那时他才两岁)抛下了，他没有钱带上妻儿同去。毕业后，他更是带着另一名美国女人露丝回到了肯尼亚，露丝成为他的第三任妻子，因为在家乡他早已娶了一任妻子。
父亲离开了，奥巴马跟着母亲长大。邓纳姆后来嫁给了一名印尼石油公司的经理罗罗·素托罗，素托罗由于工作的关系需要去雅加达，于是，邓纳姆带着6岁的奥巴马去了印尼。奥巴马在印尼度过了四年的童年时光。
10岁时，母亲与继父离婚，奥巴马回到了夏威夷，大部分的时间他和外祖父外祖母生活在一起。邓纳姆带着她与素托罗生的女儿玛亚又回到印尼。当时，邓纳姆生活十分困难，她自己在攻读人类学博士学位，还省吃俭用供儿子读书。奥巴马老少儿童时期奥巴马一家挤在一个很小的公寓里面。奥巴马的外祖父换过多份工作，先做过家具推销员，还当过一名很失败的保险经纪。外祖母在一家银行工作。但奥巴马竟然进了夏威夷普纳后私立学校，这说明小家伙很会念书，但家里负担不轻。夏威夷普纳后私立学校是夏威夷乃至全美最优秀的私立学校，具有百年历史，学费昂贵，但凡有点钱财地位的人无论如何都是要把孩子往里塞的。一旦进去了，父母脸上有光，小孩前程似锦。
一谈到这件事，邓纳姆总是半带自豪地认为，奥巴马继承了他父亲的智慧，沿着他父亲成功的道路在走。
在2004年7月，民主党召开全国代表大会，奥巴马被指定在第二天做“基调演讲”。所谓“基调演讲”，就是民主党人阐述本党的纲领和政策宣言，通常由本党极有前途的政治新星来发表，1988年做“基调演讲”的人就是时任阿肯色州州长的克林顿。奥巴马不负众望，他亲自撰写演讲稿，并发表了慷慨激昂的演说。在演说中他提出消除党派分歧和种族分歧、实现“一个美国”的梦想。
45岁的奥巴马演说极具魅力，灿烂的笑容更虏获许多民众的心。与过去有意竞选总统的黑人前辈相比，奥巴马是首位在初选前民调获得全国性支持的明日之星，打败2008年民主党总统候选人的热门人选之一的希拉里，成为民主党总统竞选人。
奥巴马在短短两年多的时间里就已在政坛造成一股旋风，甚至有人把“奥巴马现象”拿来与前总统肯尼迪1960年挟带强大人气进军白宫来相提并论。

[编辑本段]2008总统选举
1、党内初选
奥巴马宣布参选
巴拉克·奥巴马于2007年1月16日宣布，他有意参加2008年的总统竞选。他已于当天向美国联邦选举机构提交了有关文件，并成立一个委员会，以评估他参加总统竞选的可行性。
奥巴马16日在其网站上发表声明说，数月来他一直在考虑是否参加2008年的总统选举，但参加与否不会取决于媒体宣传和个人抱负。过去6年中，联邦政府所作的决定以及所忽视的问题使美国处于一种非常不安全的境地，美国陷入了一场本不应该发动的“不幸的、代价高昂的”战争，而身在华盛顿的领导人却不能以一种实际的方式进行合作。
希拉里宣布参选
而在1月20号，前总统克林顿的妻子希拉里在其个人网站上宣布参加2008美国总统大选。她的竞选标语是：我来了，为胜利而来。
双方斗争激烈
由于双方在党内支持者众多，一场激烈的抢票大战必不可少，绝不逊色于之后的总统选举。
奥巴马主攻年轻选民，特别是通过网络。在2007年3月，奥巴马在“Yahoo! Answers”（Yahoo! 知识+的美国版）发表题为《How can we engage more people in the democratic process?》（如何吸引更多人参与民主运动？）的问题，回复量超越17,000个。之后他还在社交网站Facebook开了一个帐户，版面很受欢迎。
而希拉里最大的优势是丈夫克林顿和本身身为女性，容易吸引女性选民的目光。当一位民意测验专家马克·迈尔曼让10位黑人妇女选出她们心中的政治英雄时，有8个人选了希拉里。
（详情参见词条希拉里）
奥巴马初选获胜，希拉里退选
经过一系列的拉票，美国当地时间2008年6月3日，美民主党总统竞选人奥巴马宣布他在该党初选中胜出，获得民主党总统候选人提名。
到了6月7日，希拉里正式宣布停止竞选，呼吁她的选民转而支持党内初选胜出者奥巴马成为总统。
2、提名副总统及接受党内提名
2008年8月23日，奥巴马宣布由65岁的德拉瓦州资深参议员约瑟夫·拜登（Joe Biden）成为民主党的副总统候选人。奥巴马竞选网站说：“拜登带来了大量的外交政策经验，让人钦佩的跨党派阵营合作记录，还有直接的办事模式。”分析认为拜登的外交经验有助奥巴马执政，但选择政坛老手为竞选伙伴，将削弱奥巴马强调变革的正当性。
8月28日，奥巴马在丹佛Invesco露天足球场接受民主党总统候选人提名，成为美国两党历史上第一位黑人总统候选人。而这一天亦是马丁·路德·金在华盛顿林肯纪念堂前演讲“我有一个梦想”（I have a dream）的四十五周年纪念日。奥巴马在演讲中勾画了他的执政蓝图，涉及经济、外交、恐怖主义、贫困、气候变化和疾病等二十一世纪的挑战。
3、投入总统选战
赢得党内初选后，奥巴马开始了他的竞选活动。特别是针对共和党传统州分和摇摆州（特别是票数极多的州），像俄亥俄州、印第安纳州、佛罗里达州、宾夕法尼亚州等。取得了不俗的成绩，在多个州分的民意调查显示奥巴马由之前的落后局面反超共和党候选人麦凯恩。
面对奥巴马主动出击传统“红州”，且几乎之后的民意调查都领先于自己，麦凯恩背水一战，在临近总统选举日期，逐渐逼近奥巴马，但差距仍在5%~10%左右。
4、赢得总统选举
2008年11月4日美国东部时间晚间11时，计票结果显示奥巴马以349票大幅领先麦凯恩163票当选为美国第44任（第56届，第43位）总统。他也成为美国历史上首位非裔美国人总统（奥巴马之父是肯尼亚公民，奥巴马之母是美国白人）。
之后奥巴马在竞选总部芝加哥发表了题为“美国的变革”的胜选感言，称美国变革的时代已经到来。他谈到了包括胜选的意义、麦凯恩、家庭、外婆的去世、两党合作、美国的力量。
今年的诺贝尔经济学奖获得者保罗·克鲁格曼教授支持奥巴马竞选，他当选后，克鲁格曼于11月7日发表文章，表达对非裔首次当选美国总统的激动和自豪。更重要的是，他敦促奥巴马切勿听信要他延缓政策变化的建议，分析了坚持选战中提出的激进改革议程的可能性和必须性，并提出了奥巴马新政(the new New Deal)的口号（见克鲁格曼：奥巴马议程）。
5、花絮
就在总统选举前两天，从小带大奥巴马的外婆因病逝世，奥巴马决定停止一切竞选活动，回到夏威夷陪家人。

Answer 4

WASHINGTON, George (1732-1799), first president of the U.S., commander in chief of the Continental army during the American Revolution. He symbolized qualities of discipline, aristocratic duty, military orthodoxy, and persistence in adversity that his contemporaries particularly valued as marks of mature political leadership.

Washington was born on Feb. 22, 1732, in Westmoreland Co., Va., the eldest son of Augustine Washington (1694??743), a Virginia planter, and Mary Ball Washington (1708?9). Although Washington had little or no formal schooling, his early notebooks indicate that he read in geography, military history, agriculture, deportment, and composition and that he showed some aptitude in surveying and simple mathematics. In later life he developed a style of speech and writing that, although not always polished, was marked by clarity and force. Tall, strong, and fond of action, he was a superb horseman and enjoyed the robust sports and social occasions of the Virginia planter society. At the age of 16 he was invited to join a party to survey lands owned by the Fairfax family (to which he was related by marriage) west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. His journey led him to take a lifelong interest in the development of western lands. In the summer of 1749 he was appointed official surveyor for Culpeper Co., and during the next two years he made many surveys for landowners on the Virginia frontier. In 1753 he was appointed adjutant of one of the districts into which Virginia was divided, with the rank of major.

Early Military Experience.

Washington played an important role in the struggles preceding the outbreak of the French and Indian War. He was chosen by Lt. Gov. Robert Dinwiddie of Virginia to deliver an ultimatum calling on French forces to cease their encroachment in the Ohio River valley. The young messenger was also instructed to observe the strength of French forces, the location of their forts, and the routes by which they might be reinforced from Canada. After successfully completing this mission, Washington, then a lieutenant colonel, was ordered to lead a militia force for the protection of workers who were building a fort at the Forks of the Ohio River. Having learned that the French had ousted the work party and renamed the site Fort Duquesne, he entrenched his forces at a camp named Fort Necessity and awaited reinforcements. A successful French assault obliged him to accept articles of surrender, and he departed with the remnants of his company.

Washington resigned his commission in 1754, but in May 1755 he began service as a volunteer aide-de-camp to the British general Edward Braddock, who had been sent to Virginia with a force of British regulars. A few kilometers from Fort Duquesne, Braddock抯 men were ambushed by a band of French soldiers and Indians. Braddock was mortally wounded, and Washington, who behaved gallantly during the conflict, narrowly escaped death. In August 1755 he was appointed (with the rank of colonel) to command the Virginia regiment, charged with the defense of the long western frontier of the colony. War between France and Britain was officially declared in May 1756, and while the principal struggle moved to other areas, Washington succeeded in keeping the Virginia frontier relatively safe.

The American Revolution.

After the death of his elder half brother Lawrence (1718?2), Washington inherited the plantation known as Mount Vernon. A spectacular rise in the price of tobacco during the 1730s and ?0s, combined with his marriage in 1759 to Martha Custis, a young widow with a large estate, made him one of the wealthiest men in Virginia. Elected to the House of Burgesses in 1758, he served conscientiously but without special distinction for 17 years. He also gained political and administrative experience as justice of the peace for Fairfax Co.

Like other Virginia planters, Washington became alarmed by the repressive measures of the British crown and Parliament in the 1760s and early ?0s. In July 1774 he presided over a meeting in Alexandria that adopted the Fairfax Resolves, calling for the establishment and enforcement of a stringent boycott on British imports prior to similar action by the First Continental Congress. Together with his service in the House of Burgesses, his public response to unpopular British policies won Washington election as a Virginia delegate to the First Continental Congress in September and October 1774 and to the Second Continental Congress in 1775.

The opening campaigns of the war.

When fighting broke out between Massachusetts and the British in 1775, Congress named Washington commander of its newly created Continental army, hoping thus to promote unity between New England and Virginia. He took command of the makeshift force besieging the British in Boston in mid-July, and when the enemy evacuated the city in March 1776, he moved his army to New York. Defeated there in August by Gen. William Howe, he withdrew from Manhattan to establish a new defensive line north of New York City. In November he retreated across the Hudson River into New Jersey, and a month later crossed the Delaware to safety in Pennsylvania.

Although demoralized by Howe抯 easy capture of New York City and northern New Jersey, Washington spotted the points where the British were overextended. Recrossing the icy Delaware on the night of Dec. 25, 1776, he captured Trenton in a surprise attack the following morning, and on Jan. 3, 1777, he defeated British troops at Princeton. These two engagements restored patriot morale, and by spring Washington had 8000 new recruits. Impressed by such tenacity, Howe delayed moving against Washington until late August, when he landed an army at the head of Chesapeake Bay. Wanting to fight, Washington tried unsuccessfully to block Howe抯 advance toward Philadelphia at the Battle of Brandywine Creek in September. Following the British occupation of the city, he fought a minor battle with them at Germantown, but their superior numbers forced him to retreat. Washington and his men spent the following winter at Valley Forge, west of Philadelphia. During these months, when his fortunes seemed to have reached their lowest point, he thwarted a plan by his enemies in Congress and the army to have him removed as commander in chief.

In June 1778, after France抯 entry into the war on the American side, the new British commander, Sir Henry Clinton, evacuated Philadelphia and marched overland to New York; Washington attacked him at Monmouth, N.J., but was again repulsed. Washington blamed the defeat on Gen. Charles Lee抯 insubordination during the battle梩he climax of a long-brewing rivalry between the two men.

Victory.

Washington spent the next two years in relative inactivity with his army encamped in a long semicircle around the British bastion of New York City梖rom Connecticut to New Jersey. The arrival in 1780 of about 6000 French troops in Rhode Island under the comte de Rochambeau augmented his forces, but the weak U.S. government was approaching bankruptcy, and Washington knew that he had to defeat the British in 1781 or see his army disintegrate. He hoped for a combined American-French assault on New York, but in August he received word that a French fleet was proceeding to Chesapeake Bay for a combined land and sea operation against another British army in Virginia, and reluctantly agreed to march south.

Washington and Rochambeau抯 movement of 7000 troops, half of them French, from New York State to Virginia in less than five weeks was a masterpiece of execution. Washington sent word ahead to the marquis de Lafayette, commanding American forces in Virginia, to keep the British commander, Lord Cornwallis, from leaving his base of operations at Yorktown. At the end of September the Franco-American army joined Lafayette. Outnumbering the British by two to one, and with 36 French ships offshore to prevent Yorktown from being relieved by sea, Washington forced Cornwallis to surrender in October after a brief siege. Although peace and British recognition of U.S. independence did not come for another two years, Yorktown proved to be the last major land battle of the Revolution.

Washington as a military leader.

Washington抯 contribution to American victory was enormous, and analysis of his leadership reveals much about the nature of the military and political conflict. Being selective about where and when he fought the British main force prevented his foes from using their strongest asset, the professionalism and discipline of their soldiers. At the same time, Washington remained a conventional military officer. He rejected proposals made by Gen. Charles Lee early in the war for a decentralized guerrilla struggle. As a conservative, he shrank from the social dislocation and redistribution of wealth that such a conflict would cause; as a provincial gentleman, he was determined to show that American officers could be every bit as civilized and genteel as their European counterparts. The practical result of this caution and even inhibition was to preserve the Continental army as a visible manifestation of American government when allegiance to that government was tenuous.

Political Leadership.

In one of his last acts as commander, Washington issued a circular letter to the states imploring them to form a vibrant, vigorous national government. In 1783 he returned to Mount Vernon and became in the mid-1780s an enterprising and effective agriculturalist. Shay抯 Rebellion, an armed revolt in Massachusetts (1786?7), convinced many Americans of the need for a stronger government. Washington and other Virginia nationalists were instrumental in bringing about the Constitutional Convention of 1787 to promote that end. Elected as a delegate to the convention by the Virginia General Assembly, Washington was chosen its president. In this position he played virtually no role梕ither formal or behind the scenes梚n the deliberations of the convention; however, his reticence and lack of intellectual flair may well have enhanced his objectivity in the eyes of the delegates, thereby contributing to the unself-conscious give and take that was the hallmark of the framers?deliberations. Also, the probability that Washington would be the first president may have eased the task of designing that office. His attendance at the Constitutional Convention and his support for ratification of the Constitution were important for its success in the state conventions in 1787 and 1788.

First administration.

Elected president in 1788 and again in 1792, Washington presided over the formation and initial operation of the new government. His stiff dignity and sense of propriety postponed the emergence of the fierce partisanship that would characterize the administrations of his three successors桱ohn Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. He also made several decisions of far-reaching importance. He instituted the cabinet, although no such body was envisioned by the Constitution. He was socially aloof from Congress, thus avoiding the development of court and opposition factions. By appointing Alexander Hamilton secretary of the treasury and Thomas Jefferson secretary of state, he brought the two ablest and most principled figures of the revolutionary generation into central positions of responsibility. Washington supported the innovations in fiscal policy proposed by Hamilton梐 funded national debt, the creation of the Bank of the United States, assumption of state debts, and excise taxes, especially on whiskey, by which the federal government would assert its power to levy controversial taxes and import duties high enough to pay the interest on the new national debt. Similarly, he allowed Jefferson to pursue a policy of seeking trade and cooperation with all European nations. Washington did not foresee that Hamilton抯 and Jefferson抯 policies were ultimately incompatible. Hamilton抯 plan for an expanding national debt yielding an attractive rate of return for investors depended on a high level of trade with Britain generating enough import-duty revenue to service the debt. Hamilton therefore felt that he had to meddle in foreign policy to the extent of leaking secret dispatches to the British.

Second administration.

The outbreak of war between revolutionary France and a coalition led by Britain, Prussia, and Austria in 1793 jeopardized American foreign policy and crippled Jefferson抯 rival foreign policy design. When the French envoy, Edmond Gen阾, arrived in Charleston in April 1793 and began recruiting American privateers梐nd promising aid to land speculators who wanted French assistance in expelling Spain from the Gulf Coast梂ashington insisted, over Jefferson抯 reservations, that the U.S. denounce Gen阾 and remain neutral in the war between France and Britain. Washington抯 anti-French leanings, coupled with the aggressive attitude of the new regime in France toward the U.S., thus served to bring about the triumph of Hamilton抯 pro-British foreign policy梖ormalized by Jay抯 Treaty of 1795, which settled outstanding American differences with Britain.

The treaty梬hich many Americans felt contained too many concessions to the British梩ouched off a storm of controversy. The Senate ratified it, but opponents in the House of Representatives tried to block appropriations to establish the arbitration machinery. In a rare display of political pugnacity, Washington challenged the propriety of the House tampering with treaty making. His belligerence on this occasion cost him his prized reputation as a leader above party, but it was also decisive in securing a 51?8 vote by the House to implement the treaty. Conscious of the value of his formative role in shaping the presidency and certainly stung by the invective hurled at advocates of the Jay Treaty, Washington carefully prepared a farewell address to mark the end of his presidency, calling on the U.S. to avoid both entangling alliances and party rancor.

After leaving office in 1797, Washington retired to Mount Vernon, where he died on Dec. 14, 1799.

Evaluation.

Washington抯 place in the American mind is a fascinating chapter in the intellectual life of the nation. Washington provided his contemporaries with concrete evidence of the value of the citizen soldier, the enlightened gentleman farmer, and the realistic nationalist in stabilizing the culture and politics of the young republic. Shortly after the president抯 death, an Episcopal clergyman, Mason Locke Weems, wrote a fanciful life of Washington for children, stressing the great man抯 honesty, piety, hard work, patriotism, and wisdom. This book, which went through many editions, popularized the story that Washington as a boy had refused to lie in order to avoid punishment for cutting down his father抯 cherry tree. Washington long served as a symbol of American identity along with the flag, the Constitution, and the Fourth of July. The age of debunking biographies of American personages in the 1920s included a multivolume denigration of Washington by American author Rupert Hughes (1872?956), which helped to distort Americans?understanding of their national origins. Both the hero worship and the debunking miss the essential point that his leadership abilities and his personal principles were exactly the ones that met the needs of his own generation. As later historians have examined closely the ideas of the Founding Fathers and the nature of warfare in the Revolution, they have come to the conclusion that Washington抯 specific contributions to the new nation were, if anything, somewhat underestimated by earlier scholarship.
