Thank god we had Obama during this period. He navigated that recession with intelligence, courage and leadership, to fix the mess that the previous republican administration had created.

President Obama came into the white house optimistic, but he did not realize that his mere existence was a challenge to the opposing side. I also think that it is weird that Obama is blamed for the lack of bipartisanship when it was the republicans that said they were against almost everything.

Unite liberals, independents and leftists to replace u$a's elites with the socialistic models of public ownership of utilities, core businesses; worker ownership of large corporations, expelling private monies from politics. Make reparations to correct a history of theft of domestic communities and nations u$a has exploited.

Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people.

You ain't lying

I was a teenager during Obama’s tenure. I remember hearing his ideas on healthcare and thinking “why are people booing this?” “Why are people hating this?”. Obama did make some major mistakes during his time, he should have gathered from the first meeting with Republicans that they were corrupted by partisanship and would simply oppose him out of greed rather than principal. He should have walked out of that meeting and made it about how he presented his plan, but they didn’t even want to listen to it to help the American public. He should have been tough on the banks after the bonus fiascos. I respect the man for trying to work with people, but unfortunately people did not want to work with him. And from his presidency, the Republican Party learned that the best thing for themselves (not the American people) was to stonewall everything, yell the loudest, and throw tantrums to get what they want. Hell, the ACA is still here today because most Americans can’t survive without it- and it’s gutted compared to its original scope! Remember when the Republicans said that no God-fearing American would stand by a socialist institution? When they have, and they love it. The Republican Party is not the party of conservative idealism, it’s the party of crony political and capitalist families that wish to rule for the sake of ruling rather than helping this country be the best it can be.

Amen, brother. I was an idealistic twelve year old on the night he was first elected. Almost 27 now and couldn’t be more disappointed with the way things have gone. I think Obama is undeniably one of our better (best) presidents, but sadly he-at no fault of his own, I should say-paved the way for Trump and the mess we’re in now.

I love Frontline. Great work and very insightful.

I think PBS missed , deliberately or otherwise, an important plot point that was covered in some other documentary. Obama and Boehner almost had a deal done but then a splinter faction of the Republican Party offered Obama a better deal in higher revenue. Obama jumped at it and told Boehner that he had a better deal. This pissed off Boehner

I would be pissed off too but I guess it was payback for Obama and can't say I blame him. it's kinda like you see a hotter woman than your own gf right? So you drop your old gf for the new one. Better deal.

I love listening his speech. He's a charming and sweet human being. President Obama is the youngest president like JFK. That's why I support the Democratic party. because one of his promise quotes, he says its not about white America, or black America, or Asian America, its the United States of America.

We where all happy, with Jubilee! Congratulations, newly elected President.

Is there a Part 2 for Obama's 2nd term?

The decisions made when insurance, brokers, savings and loans, and bankers thought they knew best.

I had regular visits with BOH, before and during his candidacy. He warned me trouble and mayhem is coming but rest assured it will change, just be patient. Edwina Marie Hammons-Felton (Noonie) called me often and said “Is your Father still nice looking”; then she would laugh and then say we kept you from him because we wanted him for ourselves and everyone knows it but we weren’t sure if you knew because you don’t talk about him. I said I know he’s my father but I don’t like talking to you cackling hen, ass bitches about my family of origin. Noonie said she was going to call him and tell him how I’m acting, then she said I would call your real mother but we’re not speaking because some other people and I played a trick on you both, but you caught on to our schemes and scams. While on the phone with her, she walked in my house at 5404 Crysler Ave KCMO and hit me with a small wooden Louisville slugger bat and I hit her back and we fought until she got hit with my fist. Noonie called 911 while inside the house and then ran. Law enforcement was everywhere people couldn’t get in or out of the area without proper identification which was verified by authorities at the checkpoints. If you need more clarification look on microphish.

Great Man and a great family. I love, thank, and miss them all. I still, even as I watch this program continue to pray for the Obama's. 💙🥹

Uff!! Lol yet another documentary I’m excited to watch while I wash the dishes since it’s weekend clean up 😂 keep them coming Frontline!

I was so hopeful when he was elected back in 2008. Two forking terms, he didn’t fix the dysfunctional immigration system.

And may God bless America!

It's hard to be successful when the other party always says NO. There should be no majority in congress., that way they have to agree on something or nothing gets done. Stick 2 people in a room. Nobody leaves until they have an agreement on a deal or anything. It's called compromise.

I often wonder about how the presidency may or may not have been a pivotal moment for him in his personal development. He must have known and worked with some of those congresspeople that went all in on him for years prior to his presidency, only for many of them to essentially turn on him in a very adversarial way, likely rationalizing that none of it was _"personal"_ when politics is *very personal* - especially when every jab and jeer is public, it is not your hobby, but rather your _career_ and the way you earn your money, maintain your elite status and support your family.

My understanding is that the speaker of the house who had the republicans interests in mind had already bargained with Obama so with that in mind, we can rule out that the possibility that republicans wanted to bargain with Obama. At the beginning of the video the strategist had mentioned that the republicans had the single mission of opposing everything that the democrats and Obama wanted. With this in mind, it wasn’t about supporting their political issues but rather opposing the other sides issues.
