Divided or United? President Obama, Congress and the 2010 Midterm Elections
Preview Speech Clip
Paul Begala was an aide to the House Majority Leader in the 1980s, when the Democrats held Congress and the Republicans controlled the White House. Then, he was a key advisor to President Bill Clinton when the Democrats controlled the White House as well as both the House and Senate. Later, Paul was Counselor to the President when the Republicans controlled both houses of Congress. He has seen it all: government united, government divided, gridlock and clear sailing. Drawing on his experience, Paul gives audiences an understanding of how the current and future political landscape may impact the political and policy climate today and tomorrow - on issues such as the economy, energy, health care and other critical issues facing the country today. With an eye to the future, Begala evaluates the Obama Administration and shows whether Obama’s reform efforts will help—or hinder—the efforts of both political parties as they look to grow their influence over the electorate ahead of the 2010 midterm elections.
