[Peace-discuss] Fwd: Friday with Sasha: Jonathan Alter on Obama's Presidency, "The Promise"

[John W.]

Here's a pretty interesting weekly public affairs radio show from Florida
that might be of interest to a few of you if you have the time on a Friday
morning (11 AM central time).  "Sasha" (not her real name) is a woman of
Hungarian origin whom I met on Facebook.  She actually gets paid to do
this, has some pretty high-powered guests, and likes to get intelligent
calls from listeners.  She's definitely left of center.  Give it a listen if
you're at all interested.

John

*Bestselling author Jonathan Alter makes the case for it in his new
book: **“The
Promise, President Obama, Year One.”**  Qualified to make the comparison,
Alter is the author of the bestselling book on FDR’s first one-hundred days,
“The Defining Moment.”*

* “The Promise” is a journalistic report of history-in-the-making, that
chronicles the events, decisions, challenges, and Obama’s Presidential style
in dealing with them. *

*            The book charts Obama’s performance, including the little known
fact that “by the end of the first year, Obama had fulfilled or made
progress on nearly four hundred of the five hundred campaign promises.”*

*            Jonathan Alter is Senior Editor and Columnist for Newsweek,
 contributing analyst for NBC and political commentator for MSNBC*
