Mother Jones‘ DC bureau chief David Corn joined Martin Bashir on MSNBC to discuss Corn’s new book, Showdown, which gives an inside account of Obama’s battles with the GOP, starting with the game-changing 2010 midterm elections and ending with the beginning of the 2012 campaign season. Corn also addresses the controversy that’s developed over his claim in Showdown that Fox News promoted the idea that Obama is Muslim to its viewers.

Also, don’t miss excerpts from Showdown about the inside story of the tense White House night during the bin Laden raid and Obama’s plan to win reelection in 2012.

BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

December is make or break for us. A full one-third of our annual fundraising comes in this month alone. A strong December means our newsroom is on the beat and reporting at full strength. A weak one means budget cuts and hard choices ahead.

The December 31 deadline is closing in fast. To reach our $400,000 goal, we need readers who’ve never given before to join the ranks of MoJo donors. And we need our steadfast supporters to give again today—any amount.

Managing an independent, nonprofit newsroom is staggeringly hard. There’s no cushion in our budget—no backup revenue, no corporate safety net. We can’t afford to fall short, and we can’t rely on corporations or deep-pocketed interests to fund the fierce, investigative journalism Mother Jones exists to do.

That’s why we need you right now. Please chip in to help close the gap.
