Theologian and social activist Gary Dorrien has not hesitated to criticize Obama, but hearing time and again the litany of betrayal as he meets progressives throughout America, Dorrien rises to Obama?s defense. In this book he takes to task his fellow progressives, faulting them for a curious refusal to acknowledge Obama?s historic achievements. Dorrien revisits Obama?s road to the White House and devotes chapters to critical issues of his presidency, including the economic crisis, heath care reform debate, war and foreign policy, banking regulation, and the budget deficit. The result is a critical work, far from fawning, that will stand as an insightful evaluation of a tumultuous presidency long after the next election has passed.« less
