Jerome R. Corsi is a staff reporter for WorldNetDaily. He received a Ph.D. from Harvard University in political science in 1972 and has written many books and articles, including his best-sellers The Obama Nation (Which has been updated.) and The Late Great USA. Other books include Showdown with Nuclear Iran, Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil, which he co-authored with WND columnist Craig. R. Smith, and Atomic Iran.
Intense focus has been placed on health care during president Obama’s just completed first year in office, but Americans can’t let that dominate their thinking when it comes to grading his performance.
Jerome Corsi joined Vic Eliason to examine other areas of Obama’s agenda for America, from the perspective of what’s taken place in the past year, as well as what may lie ahead. Here are just a few of the highlights from this information packed program:
--Obama needs to get the trust of the American people back. This is shown by the fact that his popularity rating is now under 50%.
--Obama has fulfilled almost none of his pre-election promises. This shows how Obama’s attitude toward the American public appears to be Machiavellian. In other words, he treats the American public as though all they react to is appearances. The result is that Obama has made promises about being transparent but he hasn’t followed through.
--Obama’s repeating the mistake in making us more vulnerable to a terrorist attack. This is due in part to the claims of his administration that Tea Party members are terrorists.
--Democrats want to raise the debt limit to 2 trillion to make way for more spending. Corsi notes that open ended entitlement programs will end up in bankruptcy.
--Obama blamed Bush for not engaging with Iranian leadership in direct talks, yet when Obama tried in conjunction with Russia, France, Germany and China at Geneva, he got nowhere because the talks fell apart. As Corsi put it, “Iran, they’re the best at negotiating. They’ll negotiate with you right up to the point they kill you.”
