WASHINGTON — An upcoming documentary released by President Barack Obama's re-election campaign seeks to portray the president as a determined figure who took on a series of difficult challenges during his first term.

Obama's campaign has released a trailer to "The Road We've Traveled," narrated by actor Tom Hanks.

The trailer includes interviews with Vice President Joe Biden, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and others who describe Obama's response to the economic downturn, health care reform, the bailout of the auto industry and the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

Republicans are panning the film, saying Obama's policies led to high unemployment and record debt.

The 17-minute documentary was directed by Davis Guggenheim and will be released on March 15 at campaign field offices across the nation.

The GOP would like it to be more 'Driving Miss Daisy' and less 'Braveheart'.

The Obama Movie, "Against All Odds". The GOP movie "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World".

I saw the trailer and remembered where we was how we got there and who is helping us move forward. Underappreciated, disrespected like no other president, over attacked and criticized, yet Thank you Mr. President for standing strong and focus, cool and classy.
Mr. Romney is spending an unheard amount of money to barely make it through the primaries; buying his nomination one attack at a time. I hope and pray that you never step DOWN to his level

Wow, you said a lot and they were filled with misinformation. I'm not going to guess where you get your info, but all YOU need to do is conduct searches to discount the misinformation you're being fed from perhaps the right leaning news media.
