Katrina vanden Heuvel: What Does Obama Really Think?

If the president "went Bulworth," he could pull lyrics straight from Warren Beatty's 1998 film.

What if President Obama, who has fantasized about “going Bulworth”—or busting out with what he really thinks—went Bulworth? As Nation editor-in-chief Katrina vanden Heuvel says on The Young Turks, Obama could riff right off the fictional Bulworth, a senator from California depicted in Warren Beatty’s 1998 film of the same name:

We got babies in South Central
Dying as young as they do in Peru
We got public schools that are nightmares
got a Congress that ain’t got a clue.

Or:

You are too big to jail
And too big to fail
And we’ll keep paying you that tribute
So long as you continue to contribute.

James Cersonsky
