Even though I wasn't a big Obama supporter it was really intriguing to hear that he invited historians to offer new insights that might bring potential solutions. Wise move.
Obama, like Reagan and Clinton before him was a showman. A meeting with historians at the White House was an image booster. Obama did not have the courage nor the will to accomplish any good in the White House. His focus was not to think what he could do for the country (the JFK meme), but how he could emerge from the W-H a multi-millionaire in eight years.
