West appears to have been frustrated that Obama was not a forceful advocate of left-wing populism. These criticisms led me (your humble podcast host) to wonder if such an Obama would have been a one-term president. Julia Azari (http://www.marquette.edu/polisci/faculty_azari.shtml), of Marquette University, Christopher Federico (https://cla.umn.edu/about/directory/profile/federico), of the University of Minnesota, and Vincent Hutchings (https://lsa.umich.edu/polisci/people/faculty/vincenth.html), of the University of Michigan, political scientists all, chatted with me about these and related issues. I revised my opinion on the question after talking to them. I wonder if you will too. Give it a listen. Special Guests: Christopher Federico, Julia Azari, and Vincent Hutchings.
