Heldman: US in ungovernable situation

Four years ago then presidential candidate Barack Obama made lucrative promises to Americans. He wowed to stop the war in Afghanistan and then some. Four years later, the war continues and the US is at war in yet another country -- Libya. Billions of dollars are being annually spent on military endeavors as social service and health care spending are cut. "Imagine a political system, where all the politicians are honest and tell us what's really going on. If they told you the truth, you would impeach them," says Caroline Heldman, who is a professor of Politics at the Occidental College. President Obama had a very ambitious agenda, so there is no surprise he has not been able to accomplish it, she explained.
