Read between the Frontlines

Not gonna lie, I started watching in a state of absolute distraction, but by the time I was ten minutes into Bush's War, I was totally hooked. Overall, Bush's War was a much more emotional episode in the sense that the audience was made to feel strong emotions. Conversely, Obama's War was a much more though provoking episode, focused more on the future, things to come, etc.
All of the 9/11 imagery is really painful to watch because I'm older now, and I'm more sensitive to the gravity of those events. I can see why so many people we're behind Bush right after the attacks. The people needed a leader to tell them everything would be ok after an something that traumatic.
The beginning sequence for BW made a really profound statement to me, actually. It starts with little pictures that end up forming a bigger picture of Bush. This was sort of a way of saying that even though there were key players in the starting of the Iraq war, ultimately it was all Bush who had the final say, and any consequences/rewards were to be reaped by him.

Obama's War had episodes had scenes with really heavy visual/voice over juxtaposition. The imagery would tie into what was being said, yes, but it made you think about the connections between the two as well

I saw both episodes tying back to something we read in Thank You for Arguing. The author says something about how different parts of time are used for different types of appeals...just a thought...
