There’s no love lost between famed Princeton professor Dr. Cornel West and President Obama when it comes to issues of poverty in America.
When asked his opinion of President Obama’s first term so far, West said the current Commander-in-Chief is “much much better than Mitt Romney,” but he’s still not quite pleased with our President:
“Mitt Romney is a catastrophic response to a catastrophe, whereas Obama is a disastrous response to a catastrophe. Is disaster better than catastrophe? Yes it is. I wish we had a third candidate who could actually do something, but we don’t at the moment.”
West has been an advocating in the fight against poverty. He is currently touring the country with Tavis Smiley promoting the book they co-authored together: “The Rich And The Rest Of Us.”
