Obama Seeks to Keep Status Quo, Despite Talk of Move to Left

Tags:
An appeal to the progressive coalition of the 30's, 60's and 90's in the FDR, Kennedy, and Clinton years, by U.S. president Obama in his second inaugual address, could be described as conservative. Yet it presents challenges in the post-boomer period of today with slower growth and an aging population.
Obama's second inaugural address and liberal vision for the second term as U.S. president 2013-2016
01/21/2013
A sense of urgency in the second inaugural address in 2012, a sense that the vision and purpose that Obama brought to the presidency four years ago is slipping away after years battling the economic crisis and working to bring health insurance to uninsured Americans. Most of the immigration agenda is still untouched, and only faltering progress in other areas. An even broader agenda with climate change, promoting gender equality, with continuing battles over the deficit and a short window of 2 years leaves less time.

An effort to preserve the New Deal programs in the same form and speaking to the progressive coalition of the 30's, 60's and 90's from FDR, Kennedy, and Clinton periods could be described as conservative. Doing this in 2013 in a post boomer era of slower growth presents challenges of a different kind.

Downes reflects on what it means to be an immigrant to the U.S. Obama never experenced this and for all his striving to appeal to immigrants and their future, Downes reminds us that he was the expeller-in-chief who expelled more immigrants than any of his predecessors. He also reminds us that it is not only the engineer that contributes to the future of the U.S.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
