4:16Now PlayingDemocracyNow.org - Democracy Now! interviews veteran journalist Tavis Smiley and Princeton University Professor Cornel West about President Barack Obama and the 2012 elections. "He's rightly associated much more with the oligarchs than with poor people," says West. Adds Smiley, "I don't think the president would be hurt necessarily, the country certainly would not be hurt, by a primary challenge that would refocus him on what really matters. It would refocus him on what's happening to too many people in this country. It would refocus him on a more progressive agenda."
