What has really changed since Bush left the White House? Very little, argues Tariq Ali in The Obama Syndrome. The hopes aroused during Obama’s election campaign have rapidly receded. Following the financial crisis, the “reform” president bailed out Wall Street; and more US troops and drone attacks are now in Af-Pak than under Bush. Obama's failures are paving the way for a Republican surge, while his own supporters become increasingly despondent. Followed by a book sale and signing.
