“The Obama campaign has released the full 17-minute documentary-style video about the president’s first three years in office,” The Washington Post is reporting.
“Directed by Academy Award-winning director Davis Guggenheim (and narrated by Tom Hanks), ‘The Road We’ve Traveled’ uses interviews with current and former administration aides and former president Bill Clinton to detail what the White House sees as President Obama’s top achievements. Those include rescuing the auto industry from collapse, passing health care reform, ending the Iraq war and overseeing the killing of Osama bin Laden.
“On his feelings after U.S. Special Forces found and shot bin Laden, Obama says in the film: ‘I didn’t have a lot of feelings because our guys were still in that compound. It wasn’t until they crossed the border and everyone was safe, everyone was accounted for, including the dog, I allowed for some satisfaction.’
“Obama’s mention of the dog could be a small jibe at GOP presidential front runner Mitt Romney, who has been criticized for having once strapped a family dog to the roof of his car for a trip.”

Wonderful 17 minutes spent on a rainy Friday morning! I’m filled with pride.
Thanks Wanda for saying exactly what I was thinking…..
I find it very hard to not appreciate what President Obama has done with so little, and where we might be without those actions.
