Compiling 2007-09 footage from 60 Minutes, this program focusing on President Barack Obama starts off with “The 44th President,” filmed just days after the presidential election. Interviewer Steve Kroft provides a springboard for Obama to talk about a wide variety of topics, including life on the campaign trail, Bill Clinton's helpfulness, national security, and Obama's modest earlier days (Obama drove his wife-to-be Michelle around in a car with a rusted-out hole through which she could see the pavement). Featuring clips of Obama's first 60 Minutes appearance in 2007 (also with Kroft), in which he makes sandwiches with his little girls and walks down the Chicago streets as a junior senator, this compilation also includes “The Road to the White House,” exploring Obama's path to victory—from the announcement of his intention to run for president to Super Tuesday. Along with “What You Haven't Seen” bonus footage, DVD extras include six of Obama's major speeches on his candidacy, foreign policy, race, nomination acceptance, victory speech, and inaugural address. An encompassing, behind-the-scenes look at the ascension of America's popular new leader, this is recommended. Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
