Divided or United? President Obama, Congress and the 2010 Midterm Elections

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.
