Distilling four complex years into a clear, comprehensible overview, this Frontline documentary zooms in on the major issues and crucial turning points that shaped Obama's first term.
Topics covered include the bank bailout, health-care reform, the hunt for Bin Laden, the financial crisis, and the constant struggle for bipartisanship in Congress. With the help of inside accounts from key figures such as Rahm Emanuel, Nancy Pelosi, Newt Gingrich, and others, it presents a balanced view of the president’s decisions and analyzes his apparent trajectory from idealism to an awareness of the constraints of the office.
