Americans find themselves in genuine confusion and dismay
concerning the actions of President Obama's administration. None of
Obama's most important campaign promises--ending the Iraq war,
abolishing torture, closing Guantanamo, changing Washington's
culture of corruption--has come to pass. Instead, he has bailed out
the bankers, escalated the conflict in Afghanistan, launched a new
war in Libya, and institutionalized the civil rights abuses of the
Bush regime.
Roger D. Hodge makes the provocative case that substantive
reform was never even on the table. Behind the euphoria of Obama's
victory was in fact a business-as-usual corporate machine. Obama's
presidency has demonstrated that mere hope is never enough, that
change will come only when the American people take charge of their
own politics. A brilliantly crafted call to arms, The Mendacity of
Hope offers an essential analysis of the American political system
and the powerful interests that control our government.
