The President and beer...


So now we know that President Obama thinks that a good way to work things out is for people to meet and talk over a beer or two... It sounds great to me! (I wonder if this technique would have helped Jimmy Carter?)

What the Heck Are You Up To, President Carter?



I remember hearing Jimmy Carter tell us that he would never let us down when he accepted the Democratic Party's nomination to run for president. Then it seemed only months later that President Carter was delivering his infamous "malaise" speech. Now Ohio University professor Kevin Mattson has written a book about that period. Click on the link below to see a preview-review-overview of the new book What the Heck Are You Up To, Mr. President?, as written by Frank Gannon.

Note: You can also read an excerpt from the book here.
