Jodi Kantor - The Obamas

This presentation takes us deep inside the White House as the president and first lady try to grapple with their new roles, fulfill lofty promises, live inside a monument, raise children in the spotlight, and maintain some semblance of their old lives. The journalist gives insight into their partnership, personalities, struggles, and successes, and will surprise the audience who thought they knew the president and first lady. She will give us a new way of understanding this presidency as the 2012 race unfurls and she will explore why the lives of the Obamas matter for us all.
