In his book, The Obama Question, Dorrien takes to task his fellow progressives, faulting them for a curious refusal to acknowledge Obama's historic achievements. He revisits Obama's road to the White House and devotes chapters to critical issues of his presidency, ncluding the economy, health care, budget deficit and banking regulation. The result is a critical work, far from fawning, that will stand as an insightful evaluation of a tumultuous presidency long after the next election cycle.
