Libya: ‘This is Going to Define the Administration’

The Takeaway

President Obama will address the nation Monday night about U.S. involvement in Libya in a speech that will likely be one of the most important on foreign policy so far.

Bruce Jentleson, Professor of Public Policy and Political Science at Duke University, and former State Department senior adviser says that this will be a defining moment for Obama’s presidency.
