Decade Rewind

10 years ago, Barack Obama because the 44th president of the United States. 10 years later...well, things are different. We look back on the entire run from the primaries, to election night, to the inauguration, to his first year in office. Co-hosts Kiel Hauck and Brock Benefiel think about what the election of Barack Obama meant to them as casual followers of politics in their early 20s. Ahhh, remember politics in 2009? We also think about how it feels to look back on that time, until it gets too sad.
