By Tray Smith Senior Staff Columnist

Today marks the centennial of Woodrow Wilson’s inauguration as president of the United States. This moment is espe- cially relevant, Tray Smith coming less than two months after Barack Obama’s inauguration to a second term and one week before we at the Capstone will elect our own SGA president. What do Woodrow Wilson, Barack Obama and our SGA have in common? Wilson, widely considered America’s first progres- sive president, is Obama’s early ideological prede- cessor. Their shared conviction in the superior deci- sion-making capability of government experts led to the creation of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Trade Commission under Wilson and spurred Obama to create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. MCT Campus That’s a thick alphabet soup of federal agen- cies, but all of them rely on experts to make deci- sions about things like interest rates and Medicare CITY ISSUES benefits while remaining immune from political accountability. Unlike Obama, Wilson carried the state of Alabama with 70 percent of the vote.
