David Frum – Why the American Political System Doesn’t Work

October 9, 2012

Political speaker David Frum brought his experience and insight of the American political system to the Bob Graham Center on Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at 6:00pm, which also included a special book signing after the event. Frum offered vigorous commentary about the upcoming election and why the current state of politics does not work, as well as answered questions from the audience.

David Frum- CNN “Election 2012” commentator, political features writer for Newsweek, Daily Beast blogger, former special assistant to President Bush, and senior foreign policy adviser to Rudy Giuliani- analyzes the crisis inside the Republican Party and the consequences for the US economy. Sweeping electoral changes have opened the way to the largest expansion of the role of government in a generation—and to a new and far more challenging business environment. Frum offers detailed insights into exactly how Washington is changing—and what these changes will mean for us all. Frum blends his deep insight with the wit and humor that have made him a frequent guest on the Colbert Report, the Daily Show, Real Time with Bill Maher, and the Larry King Show.
