That is in fact one of selfbrush fires weve seen in recent days. The dry conditions here helping fuel those flames. Doug now with that story and some really dramatic changes.

Up next, a visit to the National Museum of American Jewish history in philadelphia to learn about their exhibition, tracing the history of the jewish people in america from 1654 to the present day. This is part one of a twopart program. Welcome to the National Museum of jewishAmerican History. My name is clear pingel, im the associate curator at the exam and im happy to be a tour today. The museum was started in 1976 by one of the five original jewish congregations that date back to the colonial period. We shared a building with them for 35 years and open in this location of november of 2010. We are right in the middle of Independence Mall in philadelphia, halfway between Independence Hall or the nation got its start and the National Constitution center which explores the founding documents of the nation. We like to think we are an example of what happens when a people are allowed to live in liberty. Our museum is organized so we have a big atrium in the middle of the building. On this
Friends with Valerie Jarrett and who is a behindthescenes adviser to her husband in a way that is quite different because in many respects, michelle behaves toward her husband as though she knows better. He said in public that shes the boss. He often sounds like a henpecked guy i must say. I know thats very you know radical to say that but i think theres a lot of truth to that.

Host we talk about a variety of topics and t
From the state department but from Valerie Jarrett in the white house who is essentially a political adviser not a policy person. I think that says volumes about how this administration is run. Host mr. Klein the cover of your book features but cut coupled bill and Hillary Clinton and michelle and barack obama. Talk about how they Work Together as a couple but also in the political sense. Guest how they Work Together . That would take us a long time but basically i would say that as quickly as i can say this, that the clintons have a marriage that is somewhat similar to the marriage of Franklin Roosevelt and eleanor roosevelt. Its essentially a working relationship. They have gone their separate ways in many ways. They dont live together often. But they are colleagues and collaborators on policy as eleanor and franklin were. On the other side, excuse me. The obama side, we have a first lady in Michelle Obama who is best friends with Valerie Jarrett and who is a behindthescenes adviser
