There was too much looking down and i think it was a little too fast. Not enough change of pace. She is probably the most tragic of all our first ladies. They never should have married. She later wrote as a memoir that i myself never made any decisions. I only decided what was important and when to present it to my husband. You stop and think about how much power that is, it is a lot of power. Part of the battle cahill against cancer is the fight the fear that accompanies the disease. She transformed the way we look at these bugaboos and made it possible for people to survive and flourish. I cannot know how many president s have that kind of impact on the way we live our lives to regret smocking around the white house grounds, i am reminded about all the people who lived there before and particularly, all of the women. First ladies, influence and image. Monday night at 9 00 p. M. Eastern on cnn, cspan radio and scheming live at cpspan. Org. [captioning performed by national captioning
On those tests, and we are even in about a winning teachers on their ability to improve reading or writing, whether they teach it or not. It does not matter. When everyone is focused on that, how have you guys succeeded in pushing a social and Emotional Character Development agenda so well . We do not have much time, so lets start with you, shelley. It is necessary that you help people make the link between social and Emotional Learning and the academic curriculum. People understand the culture and climate of schools is critical. I have indicated my board, teachers, and parents. The resonance of that has been very responsive. When you state it that way, i have not found difficulty in moving forward, in any of the districts i have been in. People understand character matters. When you create a positive climate, students will do better. For me, asa started this for us, and we can now let we cannot let children fall behind. Fortunately, there is a lot of evidence that shows kids to have t
I got the sense that Priscilla Buckley and burnham were sort of distant ancestors of neo conservatives and meyer, of course, being a fusion test some the fusion test would have disagreements. Was primarily about what conservative should do about the welfare state. Um wondering what russias role was in as ideological debates. A very good question. I would commend something he says which is, i dont believe there was much conflict about what position to take on the welfare state, but there was some. It was not russias primary concern. His primary concern in terms of radiology was that National Review must be in the logical, that the exact positions it took would very often be secondary, but that insofar as it had certain believe some these issues, in the issues, it should be really serious about holding other conservatives and especially Public Office holders to account in showing lead on them and in supporting candidates who were most likely to really be solid on those issues whereas bre
Social secretary of the white house. Soon after the socialists a cap after the Social Security social secretary had a conversation with the first lady, he would lay out who, when, where, and how it was going to be about. There was a lot of planning. Usually these events are planned three, four, sometimes as much as a year into the future. Sometimes a lot less time. The planning is intensive. I think one of the things people forget about state dinners is that they set a style for the white house from a social aspect and they also set a first ladys style. We deal with things like the flowers, the table settings, what color dress is the first lady going to wear at a state dinner . I can remember the chief florist at the white house getting together with the first ladies and actually having a sample of the fabric, the color and texture, and planning flowers and the color of the tablecloths and how the tape was going to be set with what kind of decorations. But basically, the first lady has
Here. Second terms tend to be more difficult. Why is that . Give us the history. Well, i dont know if i totally believe that. And i know its so popular right now that i hate to be the contrarian where were saying second terms are a curse and that theyre so much more difficult. I think any president would rather be in their second term than having to be in a first term with a huge election looming. So i think you get a lot of relief when youre president in the second term that you dont have to run again. Also, theres a notion there are scandals that occur in the second term on nixon and watergate and irancontra and lewinsky problems, all ones people raise. What they miss, is what would bill clinton have been without a second term. It wasnt the lewinsky issue that matters in the end but when he left office we had a surplus and that the triangulation worked and was able to have a balanced budget and couldnt have done it without a second term. We dont dwell on Ronald Reagans irancontra deb
