Is Obama a Man of the People?: President Barack Obama a Year Later

Obama was elected by a populist electorate--the broadest majority in recent history--and promising a populist agenda. Obamas campaign inspired millions of Americans, but now that weve seen a year of his administration, his record is mixed with some of his supporters cheering and others feeling abandoned. So is his political populism rhetoric or reality? Does his policy-making reflect the interests of the workers and students that helped to elect him or corporate interests and the traditional power structure? TheLoop21.com looks for the answer by examining his actions on the biggest domestic challenges since taking office.
