   Oh I can’t wait to see it! And it’s narrated by one of my favorite actors: Morgan Freeman!

   Good luck on the search for the full length version because I really want to see it. I have looked around for it (since I missed the original airing while at work) and I have checked Youtube and the websites of PBS and National Geographic. I found that they are advertising a DVD (which I am going to order shortly) for sale on both sites. It could be that the reason the full length is not available yet is because they are going to use it as fundraising material for PBS before they can put it in the public domaain. I will be one the look out

   My husband and I watched this last night on the DVR and he was BLOWN AWAY by the photos we’ve all been privy to, thanks to bwd, these past 2 years. I just kept smiling and nodding. When it was over, I complained that the general public doesn’t see this president and my husband countered that we JUST SAW HIM! I asked my husband why we didn’t see this PBS special BEFORE the November election and he admitted that the media in this country doesn’t do him any justice.

   The good news is, my husband is now a HUGE fan of Pete Souza and plans to go to whitehouse.gov to see as many photos as possible. I plan to link him to bwd’s fantastic photo diary from Thanksgiving to step it all up a notch.

     Can’t wait to see the documentary, Lulu, I just ordered a copy of the DVD – but it’ll take 4 to 8 weeks to arrive

     I adore Pete Souza’s photography, it’s just sublime – have you seen his website? http://www.petesouza.com/
