A history professor's perspective on current topics. Friday, April 8, 2011. Book Review-Team of Rivals.

A history professor's perspective on current topics. Monday, September 28, 2009. Obama's problem with Iran. Wednesday, September 16, 2009. Well it has finally happened; my only surprise is that it took so long. In an interview today on the Today Show, ex-President Jimmy Carter said the reason Obama is being criticized is because we are racists. There are two major points that need to be made, first Carter needs to shut up, and second this statement is absurd and offensive. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
