According to Kirkus Reviews, Hundt was “a member of the transition team for the Clinton and Obama presidencies and former chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.” It says he was a supporter of Obama and still admires him, but believes people he chose for positions took attention away from more important issues. So I don’t think this is just propaganda, though it is critical of neoliberals and Clinton advisors so it will certainly cause uproar but the author seems to be criticizing those people rather than Obama himself. It is hard to accept but these issues are probably what let to Trump winning so it would be good information to help avoid it happening again. (Disclaimer: I voted for Obama both times and consider myself staunchly Democratic and fairly liberal.)(less)
