While Obama's many compromises have disappointed liberals, Alterman argues that these concessions are largely due to a political system that is rigged against progressive change. These structural impediments to democracy have made the keeping of Obama's campaign promises all but impossible. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Brilliantly blending incisive political analysis with a clear agenda for change, \u003ci\u003eKabuki Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e cuts through the clich's of conservative propaganda and lazy mainstream media analysis to demonstrate that genuine \"change\" will come to America only when people care enough to challenge the system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Alterman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1568586590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781568586595\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bold Type Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Eric Alterman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068619288831,"sku":"9781568586595","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52c8f415-ce0f-412c-af74-5d83b45c36f7.jpg?v=1685420052","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kabuki-democracy-eric-alterman-9781568586595","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
