we're sitting down with an author professor of philosophy and currently a senior scholar at the institute for policy studies and you're a living thank you very much for joining our writing me you contributed to a book it's titled hopeless barack obama and the politics of pollution what was the illusion in your opinion and how did it get hopeless well obama of course campaigned on the idea of hope and the possibility of change but he was skillful in turning himself into something like a rorschach figure which anyone could see whatever they wanted to see the changes were not certainly ruptures with the past. they dashed at the expectations of virtually every constituency that supported them because they

envisioned. transformations of american domestic and foreign policy that were far more far reaching than what obama actually. even attempted let alone achieved as far as foreign policy you're writing that president obama's wars could come back to bite him even the ones he didn't start but which you argue are his by now he pledged to was draw from iraq and afghanistan he says that's what he doing in what way could they bite him well they could all fall apart. in fact the united states lost both of those wars even before obama assumed office but the imperative that obama faced which was also the imperative that george bush faced in his final years was not to lose face like you to expend a little bit on afghanistan you argue that ghana stand in particular certainly into a face saving operation for the president how is he handling that. well to the

extent that he can develop a consensus in the political class in the united states to get out as soon as possible which seems to be happening not particularly through his own initiatives he will get out but unless that develops he is going to happen is going to have to be a continued presence there of some sort which is going to continue to wreak murder and mayhem and not to achieve any of the official objectives that the united states put forward in entering into that conflict in the first place if that explodes then obama will look bad because the united states will look weak and it will look to it will look defeated and that will and that's not a recipe for success for someone who was parked on an electoral campaign aside from the wars already on the u.s. plate you wrote that by far the biggest bullet for president obama to dodge is a war against iran you think it might actually happen i mean experts even and he

was government say so crazy idea. well it looks now like obama has dodged that bullet at least until november by basically bye bye bye bye in law for israel with our arms what do you think about the president's approach with regards to iran when he's trying to cater to to everybody in a way to the israelis by saying that he would be ready to go to war and to everybody else by saying that he actually doesn't like the drums of war and there is still a chance for diplomacy to work i think the result is that although he maybe have succeeded in avoiding the war between now and the election and maybe even afterwards one could hope the rationale for the war remains intact and so the past so the danger that some events could transpire which would lead to which would reignite the danger and maybe even lead to what to look at the eruption of the war remains real and obama hasn't effectively addressed that issue i think this is an instance of

a general problem with obama's presidency and it's partly why it's very hard for anyone any of obama's supporters to come up with any reason for. it and for supporting him especially for supporting him enthusiastically in the upcoming election other than that the alternative is so much worse. because whatever he's accomplished that could not on balance be. given up a plus it's always in cumbered by negatives that are very nearly cancel cancel out the benefits the contenders for the republican nomination they have a pretty scary rhetoric when it comes to foreign affairs everyone minus ron paul. they don't seem to have words political solution in there with capillary right and yet you called president obama the most hawkish of the lot why well he's the most

hawkish of the lot with respect to some issues there not with respect to to all issues his position on afghanistan. is at least momentarily probably more hawkish than that of mitt romney they they. they have all of them said that now is the time to get out and obama has the steward of the empire can't say that and so he also said well i gradually gradually to get out of there as a graduate to go. but that's different from getting out now which was what even the gingrich search on a different note related to domestic politics i want to ask you about the occupy wall street movement and where you think it's heading these people took to the streets to protest the culture of revolving doors in washington and

a cozy relationship between corporations and politicians of a limited contributions to political campaigns which many see as legalized corruption do you think their voices were heard. in the general differently diffuse cultural sense i don't think. the. wall street banks to us are cultural heroes anymore the way that they were the way that they used to be in terms of policy making it in terms of policy making probably not. least with this administration so far but there was a backlash the took create a forum and that went to a kind of awakening kind of consciousness raising and where that goes now as the spring is coming and a new forms of struggle are likely to emerge and how that will interact with the political campaign which he has to respond to which i mean fortunately of the union

address for example he would say that you know there is a need to keep the last rating that it needs to be better regulated so you don't say all those words you can say you can say that and then he can go right out and not keep wall street and soon americans will face a choice between mitt romney most possibly and obama candidates from two parties democrat and republican you wrote that romney's and i quote here awfulness will win the election for the democrats i want to ask you about the two party system and the horse race that established the fact that we do you think america. have that much of a choice when electing a president it's sort of like. coke and pepsi and the level of entire doubt of the exist in the places where those things are manufactured and marketed at the level of underlying political vision or underlying political orientation

there isn't that much difference and romney would probably be perfectly happy doing what obama does we have a media which is so thoroughly controlled and all the institutions that manufacture opinion are so pervasive and our electoral system has become basically if i can advertising it's become a sales promotions there are brands and there are people trying to sell different products one of two products. and it's. a pressure that's not all it's not so much the pressure that's hard to resist it's a pressure that most people or most people aren't even aware that there is an alternative and can't be measured but i wanted to ask is there a chance for third products to somehow get into this well historically that only seems to happen to some small extent when the third part of a product is backed by a huge amount of money when ross perot was running for president and. the

greens can't do that and they're not going to have one thousand nine hundred two right that was in one thousand nine hundred ninety two you know according to. one of the latest gallup polls a record number of americans forty percent of americans identify themselves as independents and never happened and they don't have their candidate. effectively we have a very profound disconnect between what people want in any recognized meaningful and recognizable sense of the term and what the political process offers in the way of war of alternatives by the way that the party system has evolved especially in recent years that makes it. and by it. indefensible jurisprudence which has made it increasingly possible for. corporations and for very rich people effectively to control the political process

game off. brawn who defeated everton to you know ten man swanzy twice fought back to draw two two at home to sunderland and stay second spurs are yet to win a league game under andreas boas after they conceded a late equaliser against norwich west ham got a three year old darby win over full and andy carroll setting up two goals before he had to go off injured and peter crouch netted a late leveller in stage two two draw at wigan and the games today liverpool host are still with both sides looking for their first win of the season and celebrate his that is the premier league game in charge at manchester united with a trip to southampton while you castle entertain aston villa who've lost their opening two games. at switch to the tennis and serena williams has enjoyed a sweet victory over russian at you catherine occurred over at the u.s. open mike out of a who's ranked forty two in the world had knocked the american out of the strain open but williams made sure there was not going to be

a repeat beating the russian six four six love to reach the last sixteen next payday unseeded czech and the dear i love a call for after she beat russian maria kirilenko. second seeded need to get advanced is also into ran for the polish star overcame the knee yankovic's a scrappy match that saw nine breaks of serve six three seven five the score but advanced italy for a bit of vinci next. and the girl to look at the moment is angelic courbet the german reached the semifinals at wimbledon and got a straight sets victory over olga from better rates. it was quick and a good match for me and i started very well and also the men's single before our matches was very long and actually warming up three times but. i just tried to be focused here it was very hot out there so i think that was good that they played

a little bit later in the menstrual roger federer needed just two hours to get past them and ask a were no nonsense straight sets win for the top seed at flushing meadows all the while afterwards he admitted to it wasn't entirely straightforward. today it was complicated because very das go gave me a lot of different serves plus he's left handed one was sliced wanted thirty five miles per hour so it's never easy to get into it and there are some wind also today but i'm really happy i feel good there's always a relief when you get through the first week and the man he fed retta take gold at the olympics andy murray is also through although he needed almost twice as long to defeat fully channel lopez despite having beaten him six times before mary was a bit labored icing eventually won three sets to one. as tough as physically physically challenging it was you know i actually felt better towards the. half way through. i think.

it was probably going to a combination of things you know having. you know not that much and these conditions it's just. to get used. now it is the belgium formula one grand prix today and mclaren jenson button will start on pole position for the first time in three years he was fastest in qualifying at the spar. a driver can move he took second to clinch the first front row start of his career while williams pastor maldonado was third then came can you or i can answer your pet is with standings leader fernando alonso a ferrari six red bulls mark webber with seven but will start twelve after a great penalty behind defending champion sebastian vettel it's been quite a long time since i got my proposition back in two thousand and nine monaco i think so. yeah it's pretty emotional you know some days of being good for the past few

years but some of those who've. not gone perfectly. are great qualifying session it's you know it's so important to come back after the break up to such a long break. with a good result and certainly one of the races tomorrow but this is this is close to winning a grand prix for me it's been it's been so long. now the news golf's world number one rory mcilroy has a one shot lead at the halfway stage of the doj bank championship in boston the northern irishman started brilliantly this approach setting him up for an eagle on his whole. he then went on to the next and goes into the penultimate round a shot to head south africa's news susan wasn't playing too badly himself this is him here with a great chip tiger woods is two shots back after firing a sixty eight. the paralympics oscar pistorius has set a new world record in the two hundred meters the south african who also competed in

the olympic shave more than half a second off the previous record finishing his heat and it time of twenty one point three seconds now at the paralympics he is the defending he's defending his hundred and four hundred meter titles as well as the two hundred many new records have been set at these games and has begged the question how much is down to new technology and how much is down to natural ability well with more on this debate from london is wrong cos the ref. south africa's oscar pistorius is arguably the most famous paralympian in the world the sprinter became the first man in history to purchase debate in both events of the summer games following his exams at the sites of the earlier this summer pistorius is achievements has prompted debates whether paralympians good to form their able bodied counterparts as the sixties knology advances each year. steve pond takes care of the russian paralympic team's prosthetic limb stuck and contrary to the critics he believes that technology has

little to do with the actual improvements of results. of course the manufacturers of all this equipment are competing between each other always trying to improve something but i want to stress it's in the end everything depends on the athletes and then mooney represents the african nation of garner the paralympics has come a long way in sports starting with the amputee football at home and now road cycling in london and he probably knows better than anyone that state of the art technology comes a distant second to strength of character youth how yes all day best technology has been implement always been modified. and atlee to him or herself is not able to put forward it will do you if you never succeed or beat a best athlete so it's all about. determination does it clean integrity in the. judge and intelligence given back passion

and we need oscar pistorius prove to his fellow athletes with disabilities that competing at the able bodied the olympics is not an unachievable dream naturally they cannot do without artificial limbs but one thing's certain paralympians are the driving force behind the advancement of per static product. so what's in store for the future of technology for people with disabilities are we ever going to see a so-called blade runner the one hundred meters faster than the same bolt well the answer to that is still not sure prosthetics manufacturers have already made a huge technological leap in large part thanks to the efforts and courage of paralympic athlete ramon coffer of artsy london. that's all we got time for for the moment. at.

the end.
