My regular employer, The Nation, just published a nice magazine excerpt of the book. It’s a great snapshot of our present political moment, particularly with regards to what’s become of Obama’s once-vaunted grassroots political movement. Give it a read.
Ari, Just read the excerpt in the Nation and watched the promo piece on youtube. This is a significant book and I wish you every success with it. I’ve been enjoying your reporting over the past few years. Good luck on your tour.
I just heard your interview on KSFR in Santa Fe, NM. I like allot of what you had to say. However, the problems with Obama go much deeper than whether Progressive were or are given a voice in the White House. One example, has to do with seniors who depend on Social Security not being given cost of living increases. It was spoken of as everyone has to their part to help the economy. These seniors will sacrifice by giving up tuna for cat food if cost go up any higher. There is real suffering that is not being dealt with.
