Summary

"Once a most unlikely candidate, Barack Obama's successful campaign for the White House made him a worldwide sensation and a transformative figure even before he was inaugurated. Elected as the Iraq War and Great Recession discouraged millions of Americans, Obama's promise of hope revived the national spirit. Had he only saved the economy, Obama would be considered a truly successful president. But he achieved so much more, against ferocious opposition, that he can be counted as one of the most consequential presidents in history. D'Antonio details the achievements in health-care reform, energy policies, and climate-change efforts, as well as his diplomacy regarding Iran, Cuba, and Asia that show how his successes abroad match those at home. Within this long record of major successes and less noticed ones, Obama's greatest achievement came as he restored dignity and ethics to the office of the president, proof that he delivered the hope and change he promised."--, Provided by publisher
