In the wake of divisive and ill-conceived actions by states, President Obama delivered a much needed policy statement on immigration reform.

            Who can do this job? As Barack Obama verges on an historic victory next week, it is clear he will inherit the desert:  Costly and endless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  A global economic downturn.  A financial system choking on its own excesses.  Broken health care.  Unaddressed catastrophic climate change.  Gilded age inequality and rising poverty.  A collapsing infrastructure.  Public education starved for investment and reform.  A failed global economic strategy.  This list can go on.  He inherits the ruins left behind by what he correctly calls a “failed philosophy.”
