As a British 16 year old in 2008 hearing conversations about 'some black guy' running for president of the United States. A country that was seen to always be racially divided. I was intrigued.. I began waiting for the news to come on each evening. (we didn't have sky and the 24 hour news cycle was still in the making). But I remember being hooked. I remember being interested in this thing called "Politics", It wasn't something my friends or family ever really spoke about.. I was hooked and went on to study and learn as much as I could about it.. and I'm still to this day hooked.

As a Kenyan who was 13years old in 2008 waiting to sit for my KCPE national examinations , Obama's story became my story.

[@EnbeeEspee]

Don't spend all this time and effort making a documentary only to have the sound quality of the narrator to be so poor that it detracts from the otherwise excellent content.

The stars will align for Obama. The US economy sadly, what's going over which did with the financial crisis. You had George W Bush who is highly unpopular. it was just a quagmire and Obama was able to come in and easily with the election. I know one thing is for sure is there was so much enthusiasm, especially during the Democratic convention in Colorado. Democrat won an historic landslide in the election and also won senate and the house

Democracy according to abhram Lincoln government of the people by people for the people

History was made that day when President Barrack Obama was elected. History will be made again in 2024, when we elect the first Black/South Asain Women President - Kamala Harris. America was always great, as long as we move forward together.
