Jonathan Alter, Columnist, Bloomberg View and Author, "The Center Holds: Obama And His Enemies"

Will the 2012 campaign atmosphere be the norm in future elections?

What do 2012 campaign tactics mean for President Obama's second term?

Will the major political parties learn to compromise and bring bipartisan politics back to Washington?

Hear from Jonathan Alter, Columnist, Bloomberg View and Author, The Center Holds: Obama and His Enemies for his views and perspectives on "America at the Crossroads: Behind the Scenes of the 2012 Campaign." The 2012 contest provided the Republican party a clear shot at controlling all three branches of government, but President Obama managed to repel the assault and win re-election. Alter has covered eight presidential elections, offering unmatched access and deep knowledge of politics and history. His discussion will provide rare historical insight into President Obama's presidency, the 2012 elections stakes, and the future of his second term.
