The Way I See It is a wonderful new documentary about former chief official White House photographer Pete Souza's time with Obama.
At least that’s the way it’s briefly described. But it is so much more than that. It is an emotional and tearjerking look back at how Obama handled, with deft perfection, the solemn and venerated office of the presidency. When you watch the film, you can’t help but think about what we’ve endured the last four years.
You cannot even put into words the contrast of eight years with Obama versus nearly four horribly long years with Trump. Obama’s time went by so quickly.
