10:36 | Fred Barbash-Moderator - Welcome to POLITICO's Arena. Jonathan Alter is the author of The Defining Moment: FDR's Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope.
He recently wrote this column in Newsweek, saying "Crisis leadership is, above all, about restoring confidence. Just as FDR got the country believing again in capitalism and democracy, Obama is so far making good on his pledge to navigate in a new direction."
He will join us at noon for a live reader chat about Obama's first hundred days. We invite you to submit questions in advance. |
