AABO Ep. 1 Why I’m Talking About Obama

The All About Barack Obama Podcast reflects on everything related to Barack Obama, such as history, politics, education—and what some scholars call the Obama Phenomenon.

AABO Ep. 2 Symbolic Power Obama v. Trump

The All About Barack Obama Podcast reflects on everything related to Barack Obama in history, politics, education—what some scholars call the Obama Phenomenon.

On this episode, we discuss briefly the book The Backlash: Right-Wing Radicals, High-Def Hucksters, and Paranoid Politics in the Age of Obama, by Will Bunch.

The best way to appreciate Bunch’s book The Backlash is to place it side by side with a common critique we often hear from those who believe they are more liberal and progressive than Obama. That’s right. I’m talking about people on left side of the political spectrum. Those who believed that Obama was/is a corporate sellout.
