Celebrities win awards and finally step into politics but now politicians have become celebrities. Barack Obama, the presidential hopeful has just won the “Best Spoken Word Album” for the audio version of his book” The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming The American Dream” at the 2008 Grammy Awards function.
The category has nothing to do with music, but it is Senator Obama's second Grammy in the same category. Hillary Clinton won the same award in 1997 for "It Takes a Village."
