60 Minutes Presents: Obama: All Access - Barack Obama's Road to the White House In 2005 when Barack Obama was elected to the Illinois Senate the comment most heard about the man was that he just seemed like the real deal, he appeared to be someone who truly strived to make things better.
Genuine; a quality rarely ever attributed to a politician, was an adjective constantly used to describe the man.
Then in 2007 when Obama announced his candidacy for president the collective exuberance coined as "Obamamania" quickly seeped beyond the borders of the state of Illinois and spread across the nation.
In the first ever 60 MINUTES release by CBS Entertainment and Paramount, 60 Minutes Presents: Obama: All Access - Barack Obama's Road to the White House, this DVD is a two-year time capsule following Barack Obama from Senator to President. Including ample exclusive access granted only to 60 MINUTES and correspondent Steve Kroft, six of Obama's most prominent speeches, privileged interviews with 60 MINUTES, and multiple never before seen segments of Obama and his family -- some in casual and intimate settings, such as watching Obama and his daughters preparing a meal in their kitchen at home in Chicago.
Speeches include: Obama's 2007 candidacy speech at the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois, his 2008 speech in Berlin during Obama's tour of Europe and the Middle East, the 2008 nomination speech in Denver where Obama became the democrat nominee for president, President Elect Obama's victory speech in Grant Park, Chicago on election night, Obama's 2009 inauguration speech, and perhaps the most important speech given in our time -- Obama's 2008 speech presented in Philadelphia and addressing race.
60 Minutes Presents: Obama: All Access - Barack Obama's Road to the White House is an anthology to be cherished and learned from, an assemblage of material chronicling a historic presidential race whilst giving insight into this charismatic, entrancing man who has become the 44th President of the United States.
