歐巴馬與賀錦麗:志趣相投、投桃報李

本文講述了美國前總統歐巴馬與副總統賀錦麗長達二十年的友誼。早在2004年,賀錦麗就協助舉辦了歐巴馬的參議院競選籌款會,並在2007年成為歐巴馬總統競選的早期支持者。歐巴馬對賀錦麗的支持和友誼始終如一,他在賀錦麗擔任加州檢察長和副總統期間都提供了政治和個人方面的建議。賀錦麗則將歐巴馬的背景視為一種資產,在當時的政治環境中,他們都努力讓美國人超越政治分歧,在彼此間搭起文化橋樑。儘管歐巴馬在2013年的一次公開場合中稱讚賀錦麗的外表,並因此引起媒體爭議,但他後來向賀錦麗道歉,他們的友誼並沒有因此而受到影響。本文強調了歐巴馬與賀錦麗的友誼,以及他們在政治觀念和文化背景上的共通點。

Original Title: Obama and Harris: Like-Minded, Loyal to Each Other

Summary: This article explores the two-decade-long friendship between former President Barack Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris. As early as 2004, Harris helped host a fundraising event for Obama’s Senate campaign, and in 2007, she became an early supporter of his presidential bid. Obama has remained a consistent supporter and friend to Harris, offering her political and personal advice during her time as California’s attorney general and later as vice president. Harris, in turn, saw Obama’s background as an asset, and both of them worked to help Americans transcend political divides and build cultural bridges with one another in a political climate where their backgrounds were seen as unusual. Though Obama caused a media stir in 2013 by complimenting Harris’s appearance at a California fundraiser, he later apologized to Harris, and their friendship remained intact. The article highlights the friendship between Obama and Harris, and the shared values and cultural backgrounds they both brought to the political arena.
