| We begin with an analysis of what President Obama must do to reverse the momentum in the presidential campaign which the media claims is shifting in Romney’s favor. Adam Green, the co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee joins us to discuss how Obama can refute a blizzard of lies coming from Romney while putting forth his vision for the future. |

Then we look into the Norwegian Nobel Committee who just awarded the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize to the European Union which has some people scratching their heads. A Norwegian peace activist, Frederik Heffermehl, who has criticized the committee for not complying with Alfred Nobel’s will, joins us. He is the author of “The Nobel Peace Prize: What Nobel Really Wanted”. |

Then finally we discuss the fate and future of Social Security about which in the first debate, President Obama inexplicably said that he and Romney agreed. Nothing could be further from the truth and we discuss the Republican war on Social Security with Eric Kingson, who served as a policy advisor on two presidential commissions on the future of social security. We discuss Pete Peterson’s successful billion dollar demonization propaganda campaign that has invented a social security crisis. |
