What Happened to Obama? An Opinion Piece
DREW WESTEN analyses the leadership style of President Barack Obama. He argues that the President’s aversion to conflict and his failure to understand “bully” dynamics led him to miss a historic opportunity to change the dynamics of a political and economic system dominated by corruption and inequality not seen since the eve of the Great Depression. This is an article of opinion and the Editors welcome submissions from those with a different point of view.
