Melissa Harris-Perry: "What Mandate Did Voters Give Obama?" (video)



MSNBC—Christie Thompson, with video (11:58) from Melissa Harris-Perry:

But what are voters trying to tell him about their hopes for his second term? As TheNation.com executive editor Richard Kim put it, "they rejected the Romney/Ryan agenda...they rejected the idea that society is made of takers and givers." He joins Nation columnist Melissa Harris-Perry to piece apart what Obama's new mandate means for the future of progressive policy.
