ROMNEY
REVEALED: Family, Faith and the Road to Power – Airs Sunday 8:00PM –
9:30PM and 11:00PM (Monday 2:00AM)
CNN chief
political analyst Gloria Borger reports for Romney Revealed, speaking
with Ann and Mitt Romney, and eldest son, Tagg,
exploring the lessons Mitt Romney learned while growing up in a family that has
been in the public eye for the last 50 years – and the 2012 presidential
candidate. George Romney was a three-term Republican governor of Michigan who ran
unsuccessfully for the presidency in 1968. Romney’s mother, Lenore, ran
for the U.S. Senate in 1970, with the young Mitt Romney by her side. Borger looks beyond Mitt Romney’s political biography into
the key chapters of his personal and business life, speaking with Romney’s
childhood friends, traveling to France
to retrace his days as a Mormon missionary, and to Belmont, Massachusetts,
where he was a church leader. In additional interviews, she speaks with
fellow 2002 Olympics organizers and former Bain colleagues, such as Fraser
Bullock, an early member of Bain and COO of the Salt Lake City games, and
to Beth Myers, Romney’s chief of staff during his tenure as
Massachusetts governor, the head of his 2008 campaign, and the person who
vetted his vice-presidential pick. Also interviewed are current and
former political figures such as former U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy
(D-RI), who discusses Romney’s 1994 U.S. Senate challenge to his father, Ted
Kennedy. Discussing Romney’s presidential races are 2012 senior campaign
adviser Eric Fehrnstrom, 2008 campaign media adviser and CNN
contributor Alex Castellanos, and CNN contributor Erick Erickson,
among others.
OBAMA
REVEALED: The Man, The President – Airs Sunday 9:30AM – 11:00PM (Monday 12:30AM
and 3:30PM)
When President Barack Obama came into office
he faced towering expectations, a severe economic crisis, and a bitterly
divided nation. Obama Revealed looks at the pros and cons of
President Obama’s cool demeanor and what happened when his lofty goals met the
realities of Washington.
In an exclusive interview, Yellin speaks with President Barack Obama
about his time in office, the challenges he faced, and his ambitions for a
second term. Included are interviews with Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton, former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel,
former director of the White House Economic Council Dr. Larry Summers,
and former chairs of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers Austan
Goolsbee and Dr. Christina Romer. Yellin also interviews
members of the president’s inner circle of confidantes including senior
campaign strategist David Axelrod, senior adviser Valerie Jarrett,
and long-time personal aide Reggie Love. These voices tell the
inside story behind the president’s efforts to solve the nation’s economic
crisis, push for health care reform, and kill Osama bin Laden. In
separate exclusive interviews, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and
U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME) offer their sharp perspectives on working
with the president and the failure to bring Republicans and Democrats together
in Washington.
Obama biographer and Washington Post associate editor David Maraniss,
Rice University professor and historian Douglas
Brinkley, and New York Times chief White House correspondent David
Sanger add independent insights from their research.
