The Presidents: Obama
Leaders... Protectors... History-makers... There is one job at the top that guarantees your name in the history books. A job that pledges to defend the constitution and guard the free-world. Freedom, liberty and justice... The cornerstones of democracy and the oath of the President of the United States. Throughout the storied history of this great nation many presidents have left their mark from this high office and the actions they take decide the fate of millions of Americans. Barack Obama was the 44th President and the first African-American President of the United States. Tired of what America had become, voters responded to his persona, his message and what he embodied... hope. Obama was in many ways a mirror, a mirror in which millions of Americans saw reflected their personal ideals: ideals of justice, tolerance and equality. Join us as we take an in-depth look at the journey and legacy of some of the most influential people in the history of humankind.Year:
