This past Wednesday, the George Washington University chapter of Young America’s Foundation in conjunction with the David Horowitz Freedom Center hosted the “Barack Obama Epic Fail Teach-In.” The event, which was a panel discussion follwed by Q and A, sought to expose the failures of Obama’s agenda and the methods he is using to implement them.
The event essentially combined two initiatives. The first was Young America’s Foundation’s “One Year: Epic Fail” campaign, outlining Obama’s failures both domestically and internationally. The second, was an initiative of the David Horowitz Freedom Center using a teach-in model that their new student center is launching. The model is based on their new pamphlet “Barack Obama’s Rules for Revolution: The Alinsky Model.” The premise of this pamphlet and infused within the presentations of failed liberal policies was the way Obama has used Alinsky’s tactics of subversion to work within the current political order to destroy the American system and way of life.
The panel, which consisted of Donald Lambro of the Washington Times, Chris Horner of CEI and Jonah Goldberg of the National Review, spoke to a sold-out audience about Obama’s failures related to economics, environmental policy and foreign policy respectively.
