Summary
Was the inauguration of Barack Obama a progressive moment? In this edition of the Journal, Bill Moyers talks with political columnist and blogger David Sirota and The Wall Street Journal's Thomas Frank about expectations of the new administration and what must be accomplished for Obama to be considered a progressive President. Then, Moyers sits down with Columbia law professor and Nation columnist Patricia Williams and Princeton University's Melissa Harris-Lacewell to discuss the significance of the election of Obama and what it means for the future. An essay presenting a post-inaugural reminder of democracy's shortcomings and the administration's challenges rounds out the program.
