The 30th Annual Presidential Symposium: Obama at Mid-Term - A Report Card March 14, 2011

Halfway through his term, how do we assess the presidency of Barack Obama? How did he deal with the economic and foreign policy dilemmas he inherited? How did his election change the dynamics of both parties? And in the wake of the mid-term elections, how should he seek to lead the country for the remaining two years of his term. Halfway through a historic presidency, a panel of experts puts the Obama Administration under the magnifying glass.
