On voit que Barack Obama a été intronisé et initié par des républicains lors de son arrivée au Capitole (Mc Cain, Cheney, etc...) ce qui explique ses réticences à attaquer de front les valeurs de ce Great Old Party. On comprend l'admiration et la répulsion qui ont fait l'âpre bataille des primaires entre Hillary Clinton et Barack Obama, sachant qu'au départ sa candidature n'était soutenue que par le clan des Kennedy dans le parti démocrate.
L'élan populaire qui a porté son élection était digne de la campagne de Robert Kennedy en 1969 et son aboutissement aussi improbable que celle de Jimmy Carter en 1976, mise à part les contributions initiales qui l'on désigné comme le challenger de Hillary Clinton.
Un document pour l'histoire avec notamment sa visite incognito à Moscou ou son retour en Afrique, qu'il faudra compléter avec les clichés on line récents de Pete Souza qui redevient de fait, le photographe officiel de la Maison Blanche.
