Obama years : the power of words

Schiliro, Jody, (film producer,, screenwriter.). Williams, Jesse, 1981- (narrator.). Smithsonian Channel, (production company,, broadcaster.). PBS Distribution (Firm), (film distributor.).

Summary: "Barack Obama launched into our national consciousness at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and ever since he's delivered messages of patriotism, unity, and hope through the power of words. Of all the speeches he's given, six in particular may define his legacy as, in historian Doris Kearns Goodwin's words, "one of the best writers and orators in the presidency." Interviews with eminent historians and key figures in his writing process give rare insights into these iconic speeches, as well as the Obama presidency and the man himself."--Container.
