DVD Reviews of Biography - Barack Obama
DVD Review: OBAMA BIOGRAPHY PRESENTS HIS "LIFE STORY" AND "SOME BASIC THEMES"
Summary: 5 Stars
AS THOUGH IN ANTICIPATION OF A MAY 19, 2008 NEWSWEEK MAGAZINE FRONT COVER ENTITLED: "THE O-TEAM: OBAMA HAS SHOWN HE CAN RUN A CAMPAIGN, HE'D BETTER GET READY FOR A WAR,"
ON MAY 7, 2008, IN AN ABC NEWS ARTICLE: "THE NOTE: `FIGHT IS OVER': CLINTON NEEDED BIG VICTORY, OBAMA EMERGED," BY RICK KLEIN WITH MIKE ELMORE:
FOLLOWING THE NORTH CAROLINA VICTORY BY OBAMA, IT WAS INDICATED:
"BARACK OBAMA NOT ONLY NEARLY CLINCHED THE DEMOCRATIC
NOMINATION TUESDAY NIGHT.
HE ALSO ANSWERED A BIG QUESTION ABOUT THE FALL CAMPAIGN, JONATHAN ALTER WRITES: "THE GLASS JAW THAT HILLARY CLINTON AND
JOHN MCCAIN THOUGHT THEY SAW TURNED OUT TO BE AN ILLUSION. IN
THE JINGLE OF THE OLD TIMEX WATCH ADS, HE TOOK A LICKING AND
KEPT ON TICKING."
THE MAY 19, 2008 NEWSWEEK EDITORIAL RAISED THE QUESTION "CAN THE O-TEAM WITHSTAND AN ONSLAUGHT FROM JOHN MCCAIN AND THE REPUBLICANS, WHO'VE BEEN BIDING THEIR TIME WHILE THE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN ROUGHING EACH OTHER UP?"
THOUGH ALSO INDICATING THAT "PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS
EVENTUALLY SETTLE INTO CONTRASTING NARRATIVES OF THE
CANDIDATES BIOGRAPHIES, CHARACTER AND IDEOLOGY" AND THAT
BARACK OBAMA IN QUESTIONING THE VALUE OF HILLARY CLINTON'S
"WASHINGTON EXPERIENCE," CONTENDED "THAT HIS WIDE-RANGING
BACKGROUND HAS IMBUED HIM WITH SUPERIOR JUDGMENT."
BARACK OBAMA'S "BIOGRAPHY," PUBLISHED IN 2007 PRIOR TO HIS 2008 CAMPAIGN, IS AN EXCELLENT COVERAGE OF THAT "WIDE-RANGING BACKGROUND."
AS THE MAY 19, 2008 TIME MAGAZINE IN THE ARTICLE, "HOW HE LEARNED TO WIN" BY MICHAEL WEISSKOPF, CHICAGO, INDICATED: "TROUNCED IN HIS FIRST BIG RACE (AGAINST FORMER ILLINOIS BLACK PANTHER PARTY CO-FOUNDER, BOBBY RUSH), BARACK OBAMA RETOOLED AND WON A SENATE SEAT. HOW THE WARD POLITICS IN CHICAGO GAVE OBAMA AN EDUCATION THAT HAS EARNED HIM A SHOT AT THE PRESIDENCY."
I BELIEVE THAT THIS DVD BRINGS OUT "THE BASIC THEMES" REFERRED TO BY OBAMA'S CHIEF POLITICAL AND MEDIA ADVISER, A CHICAGO CONSULTANT NAMED DAVID AXELROD, "THE KING OF CHICAGO POLITICAL CONSULTANTS," INDICATED, IN THE NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE, APRIL 1, 2007 ARTICLE: "OBAMA'S NARRATOR":
" ... ONE OF THE REASONS BUSH HAS SUCCEEDED IN TWO ELECTIONS," AXELROD SAYS, "IS THAT IN HIS OWN ROUGH-HEWN WAY HE HAS CONVEYED A SENSE OF THIS IS WHO I AM, WARTS AND ALL." ... "AXELROD HAS WORKED THROUGH OBAMA'S LIFE STORY AGAIN AND AGAIN, SCOURING IT FOR USABLE POLITICAL MATERIAL AND HE BELIEVES THAT SOME BASIC THEMES COME THROUGH:
"THAT HE IS "NOT WEDDED TO ANY IDEOLOGICAL FRAME OR DOGMA,"
THAT HE IS "AN OUTSIDER RATHER THAN SOMEONE WHO'S SPENT YEARS IN THE DENS OF GEORGETOWN,"
THAT HE IS AN "AGENT FOR CHANGE" AND HAS THE OPTIMISM AND DYNAMISM OF A FRESH YOUNG FACE."
