Post-Election Reality

.
.
Many people voted for Pres. Barack Obama in 2008 because of the absolute mess the Bush-Cheney team made of the US economy. Many of us knew that getting the economy out of its funk would take some time, but when we saw how Pres. Obama lined his cabinet with the same miscreants that aided and abetted the financial crisis of 2008, some of us had a WTF moment. Indeed, the President managed to accomplish some very notable things (see the Washington Monthly's Top 50 Accomplishments) which we should appreciate; however, this should not make us blind to the short-sighted policies that he approved like the NDAA  (National Defense Authorization Act), his record on poverty reduction , his assault on entitlements – the legacies of FDR, LBJ and other presidents and their Congresses & his disturbing drone policy . Tavis Smiley & Dr Cornel West raise some serious points in this interview which we should all take note of. The election is over - our real work begins.....
