I really enjoyed this. I only read parts of Obama’s biography so I have no idea how much of that is true but if this was what his life was like I can understand why Obama tries to hard to be a consensus builder and see things from other’s perspectives, he never fit in anywhere.

Personally I’d rate it a 9/10. I’m glad netflix is putting out so much quality original programming. I remember back around 2005 I tried netflix streaming and it was all crap foreign films. They’ve come a long way.

In the queue to watch over the holidays.

Not even out of office and already featured in two biographical movies.
