“Prisoners of the White House”


President Bill Clinton once joked the White House could be the crown jewel of the federal prison system. President Barack Obama has criticized the D.C “bubble” and has made particular efforts to break out. The disconnect between life in the White House and everyday Americans is one of the greatest threats to a successful presidency, writes Kenneth Walsh. He’s the author of Prisoners of the White House: The Isolation of America's Presidents and the Crisis of Leadership, and the chief White House correspondent for US News & World Report. He joins us on Chicago Tonight at 7:00 pm.
