Dissent Panel: A Quiet Revolution?

TOMORROW NIGHT: Dissent Panel on Obama and the Left

In Dissent‘s Summer issue, Eugene Goodheart decries liberal disillusionment with President Obama, arguing that “Obama has begun what one commentator calls a ‘quiet revolution.’ Exercising his executive authority, he has made major liberal changes.” In contrast, Julian Zelizer has argued in Dissent online that “Obama will have to work much more closely with Speaker Pelosi to reenergize liberals who feel disillusioned with the administration’s understanding of ‘change.’ The president has to demonstrate a stronger commitment to all of the people who brought him to the dance.”

Join Eugene Goodheart, Julian Zelizer, and David Bromwich in a discussion, moderated by Dissent‘s executive editor Maxine Phillips, about Obama’s politics and the Left.
