Following up his 2006 Grammy win for best spoken word album "Dreams from My Father: a Story of Race and Inheritance," presidential candidate Barack Obama walked off with his second Grammy for "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream," following in the footsteps of his Democratic foe Hillary Clinton, who won for best spoken word or non-musical album in 1997 for "It Takes a Village and Other Lessons Children Teach Us."

Obama bested Bill Clinton, who was nominated in the category this year for "Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World."
