About this episode
On The Gist, has the bully pulpit been in the hands of a poor communicator? Michael Grunwald from Politico joins us to discuss Obama's lesser-known accomplishments as discussed in his article "The Nation He Built." He's the author of The New New Deal. For the Spiel, a dark horse was endorsed, but we must consider the source of course—George Pataki. Today's sponsor: Squarespace.com.
