President Obama's Festival Session
Whatever your political persuasion, if you’re a reader, you have something in common with our new president. Barack Obama’s love of books has been well documented and celebrated. As speculation was rife that he would announce his candidacy for President, then-Senator Obama was one of the authors appearing at the 2006 Festival to talk about and sign his second book, The Audacity of Hope. With the help of Festival media sponsor KUT, Obama’s session at the 2006 Festival was recorded.
