Piece Description
On Active Voice Radio this week we are exploring President Obama's first 100 days in office with one of his closest observers, Stephanie Robinson. Her newest book is Accountable, the third in a series co-authored with Tavis Smiley.
Accountable looks at the the topics of taxes, education, the economy and democratic progress through the stories of everyday Americans. The book offers a check-list for readers to gage and grade the President in a comparison of campaign trail statements and real action from the White House.
Robinson is CEO of the Jamestown Project and a frequent contributor to television and radio programs covering politics. She is a weekly commentator on the Tom Joyner Morning Show.
Also featured in AVR this week music from the Philadelphia based jazz-rock fusion group Agent Moosehead.
