Politics & Prose at Busboys and Poets at 14th & V presents Bill Press to discuss his new book "Buyer's Remorse: How Obama Let Progressives Down."
Press, former chairman of the California Democratic Party, established himself as one of the country’s top progressive political commentators on CNN’s Crossfire and The Spin Room and as co-host of MSNBC’s Buchanan and Press; his awards include four Emmys and a Golden Mike. In his ninth book, Press assesses Obama’s presidency from a progressive perspective, and finds it disappointing. Looking carefully at the president’s actions on climate change, gun control, health care, and national security, Press repeatedly sees the Obama administration doing too little, getting the priorities wrong, or maintaining an unsatisfactory status quo.
