Alterman makes it clear that he believes Obama is doing what he needs to do to get into the White House, where &quot;he&#39;ll be the most effective president since Franklin Roosevelt.&quot;</p><p>Pepe Escobar, an analyst for the Real News Network, believes that &quot;Barack Obama is a very conservative politician. That&#39;s why Americans still haven&#39;t got Barack Obama. If you analyze his policies, he&#39;s extremely conservative.&quot; </p><p>What do you think? Is Obama a conservative or a progressive? Do you think he&#39;s playing his cards close to his chest or that his recent moderate moves are his true colors? <a href="http://www.alternet.org/blogs/video/89977/#comments">Sound off and let us know</a>. </p></p> </div> <a href="/blog/43452-is-obama-a-conservative-or-a-progressive-realist">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/36603-authors-google-eric-alterman 2008-10-16T21:30:27Z AtGoogleTalks <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/I0wi6QV88i0&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/I0wi6QV88i0&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/36603-authors-google-eric-alterman"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/41101" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Professor Eric Alterman visits Google's Mountain View, CA headquarters to discuss his book "Why We're Liberals: A Political Handbook for Post-Bush America." </p> <p>Eric Alterman is Distinguished Professor of English and journalism at Brooklyn College and the Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York.
