January Roundtable: One Year In
One Year In: The Obama Administration
Many of us in Washington viewed last year’s inauguration with mixed feelings, despite wide appreciation of its historical impact. Many had hope that the newly elected President Obama would bring wisdom and discernment to the office, while others were wary of the new president’s short resume and progressive past.
A year later, what is the verdict? What have been Obama’s defining actions and accomplishments? Join our panelists as we rehash the first year, and take a look at what the Obama Administration has in store for 2010.
Joining us to discuss this first year will be Jeff Berkowitz (director of research at the Republic National Committee)on the political implications, Abe Greenwald of the Foreign Policy Initiative and Tim Carney (author of Obamanomics) will serve as moderator and will comment on economic policies.
This roundtable will take place Thursday, January 21st at the Fund for American Studies (1706 New Hampshire Ave. NW), with drinks at 6:30 and discussion at 7pm. AFF Roundtables are free for members, and $5 for non-members, so join today! Please RSVP to Sarah Friederich at Sarah@americasfuture.org.
