It was a side that I had not seen about Obama. I can probably expect right-wing giddiness over this presentation, but I saw it as an exposure of the pragmatism of Barack Obama. I have been learning to respect John McCain and along with the look-back regarding McCain's political career that I received from this piece and other pieces, I have to say, McCain has been and is facing a delemna of appeasing the Republican base. It's sad in my opinion. Agnes, I saw the documentary and I got a bit more into how Obama has faced the political barriers that a black man can face. It was a side that I had not seen about Obama.
