He told the country, "Yes We Can," but he walked into a cratering economy, faced two never-ending wars, confronted an epidemic of gun violence and met a surging partisan divide--all the while steadfast on his campaign promises of hope and change. OBAMA is a four-part series told through the reflections of his inner circle, Congressional leaders and journalists. The series takes you on a journey of his historic two terms and along the tightrope he walked as the country's first African-American President.
