Today, we discuss Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States. He was elected with the hope of improved race relations, some even espousing a post-racial society. Now, the nation and the world faces an irony of contrasts with the election of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States. Today, we focus on President Obama, the first Black President of the United States: from the President visiting Kenya, to the hope of his first inaugural address, to the international breakthrough with the U.S. opening to Cuba, to the President defending his accomplishments.
We spend the hour with Michael I. Days, Editor of the Philadelphia Daily News and author of the brand new book Obamas Legacy: What He Accomplished as President.
