The Obama Presidency: Assessing Year OnePolitical Science faculty consider the accomplishments of the Obama administration one year after a history-making election. 
Regardless of their positions on the political spectrum, Obama observers can probably agree on one thing: this is not an easy time to hold the office of President. To mark the anniversary of Obama's election, members of the Political Science Department took part, on November 11, 2009, in a lively discussion of the administration's performance. This interactive video presentation features the panelists' introductory remarks, focused on individual areas of expertise, followed by their answers to a selection of audience questions. |
