Independent Voters, now 40% of The Electorate - Are The Engine For a Post-Partisan Political Reform in America.
Recently Obama gave a candid assessment of the politics of governing. "The most important lesson I've learned is you can't change Washington from the inside," he said.

"About TEDx:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
