Student Asks Obama About Cynicism And Gets A 10 Minute Rant That Nails It

A student reporter, Patrick Forrest, from Fresno City College asks a question that draws a rant from President Obama. Student: Earlier today, one thing we talked about was civic engagement, and a line was used in the State of the Union address of “don’t give into the cynicism of the day.” A poll released by Reuters yesterday shows that nearly half of Americans feel that the elections are rigged in some way. Is there any goal or plan of the administration to help revitalize the faith in democracy that seems to be lacking?
