Movie ReviewsTypical HIGH QUALITY report on Obama's Political Rise from F Steven I. Ramm | Phila, PA USA | 04/11/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "
This episode of PBS's highly rated "Frontline" series aired just a few days after the Inauguration in January 2009. It begins and ends with his acceptance speech on the night he became President of the United States. In between we learn about his Law School career (not much is covered in his younger years), and his entry into politics in Chicago. There is time spent on his dealing with Rev. Wright and his campaign for the Senate in Illinois against incumbent Bobby Rush. His campaign against John McCain gets only a minute or two and his campaign against Hilary Clinton gets barely a sentence. Recent comments by his staff (David Axelrod) and fellow Harvard Law alumni are blended with writers for Time, New York Times, New Yorker and Rolling Stone and new footage. All in all, it presents a balanced portrait of the President's rise through the political stream from his college days until he took office in January. There are no special features.
