CNN interviews Omar Ali about independent voters

Omar Ali, an associate professor in the African American Studies Program, was on a panel of independent experts interviewed by CNN about the debate over the national debt.

“If President Obama wants to attract independent voters, he has to take a firm stance in favor of issues that will open up the political process,” Ali told CNN. “Right now we have 80 percent of Americans who are unhappy and don’t trust the government and 9.8 percent unemployment – that’s a crisis. There is a connection between the political process and the economy.”
