The 2010 election serves as a bookend to one of the remarkable
political periods in recent U.S. history. Amidst a profound
economic crisis, Americans elected an African American to the
presidency and massive Democratic majorities to Congress. Beginning
in 2009, the President and Congress put forward a sweeping agenda
to both address the economic crisis and enact progressive policies
that liberals had been advocating for decades. Within a year and a
half, they would pass health care reform and financial reform
alongside a stimulus package of nearly a trillion dollars.
Democrats also rescued the auto industry via a partial government
takeover and expanded the Bush administration's incipient program
for saving the banking sector by pouring hundreds of billions of
dollars into it. Finally, the Obama administration dramatically
increased our commitment in Afghanistan while simultaneously
winding down our presence in Iraq. In Obama at the Crossroads,
eminent political scientists Desmond King and Larry Jacobs have
gathered some of the best scholars in American politics to take
stock of this extraordinary period. Covering the financial crisis,
health care reform, racial politics, foreign policy, the nature of
Obama's leadership, and the relationship between the
administration's agenda and broader progressive goals, this will
serve as a comprehensive overview of the key issues facing the
Obama administration as it entered office.
