Roger Hodge, former editor in chief of Harper’s Magazine, argues that President Obama has not fulfilled many of his campaign promises and instead has maintained what the author deems is the status quo in Washington. Mr. Hodge examines the government’s financial assistance to Wall Street, health care legislation, and the continuation of the war in Iraq and the operation of Guantanamo prison.
