Obama wins Grammy Award
US presidential candidate Barack Obama beat both former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter to win best spoken word album for the audio version of his book The Audacity Of Hope: Thoughts On Reclaiming The American Dream at last night's Grammy Awards (10th February).
Clinton was nominated for his book Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World and Carter for Sunday Mornings in Plains: Bringing Peace to a Changing World. Also nominated were Maya Angelou and Alan Alda.
Obama won the same award in 2006 for the audio version of his 1995 memoir, Dreams from My Father.
