Programme on Barack Obama

Today I have sat glued to my television for two hours watching a "behind the scenes" documentary on Barack Obama's road to election to the presidency.

Now I am not an American and am certainly not an expert on American politics, but what a brilliant programme.

And I have to say, what a charasmatic, fluent, intelligent man President Obama is.

If this programme had lasted another hour or even two, I think I would still be sitting there watching. And this is someone who cannot, for love nor money, sit through a film or any programme longer than an hour without getting up, going and making a drink, loo breaks, etc., etc......!

Great programme.

I missed that - was it on BBC? Might be able to catch it on iplayer.

He's written a few books too, and they're meant to be very good as well

Was that yesterday? Damn - I missed it. No doubt it will be back.

Wanda - get hold of his biography - Dreams Of/From? My Father. It's not only very interesting it's incredibly well written - not dry or boring in the least. It gives a fascinating insight into the factors which have made Obama who he is.

His writing style, like his oratory, is wonderful. (Such a contrast from his predecessor )

Will do DM - thanks for that info.

You can say that again.

Azz, it was on BBC2 last night. Well worth watching.

Re: Programme on Barack Obama

Well pity us dandysmom - Blair and Brown. I think we're due a Barack Obama of our own very soon!

Trouble is, there doesn't seem to be anyone likely out there at the moment.

Re: Programme on Barack Obama

How about it Azz?

Are you intelligent, handsome, charismatic, charming, persuasive and a fantastic orator?
