This session from the New York Historical society is about two hours. Well, good evening. Its an honor to be here at New York Historical society and try to shed some light on one of my heroes Theodore Roosevelt and why hes considered a great leader.

Was a dutch knickerbocker here from new york and a mother from the bullet family. She came from georgia. 1858 you all know something about history. The civil war is upon us. In the roosevelt family, you have a feud, a mother who loved robert ulee and a father who loved grant. T. R. Decided to love the west instead. As i talk about some of his formative years in the dakota territory, it will be clear what the west meant. If i focus for a moment on 1858, one year after he was born 1859 was darwins on the origin of species.

Were not going to count to see these things that you care about. What can i give you a free ride, a little time to figure out. I have one item to jonathans list of policies that have been conflictual, socialist invention of the subtle dimension in its rate to were, which is huge in a lot of ways and i think to be seen to things over the coming years of american federalism. One is distasteful split on more and more of these issues along sectional lines and second, among the states and the federal government that will become more conflictual and i believe thats all to the good. Will receive complete hodgepodge of coalitions on different issues . Are we seeing a different pattern quick no, i havent followed the mayor wanted name, but if you look at labor, the environment playing out that way, a variety of social and cultural issues is always, importantly health care you mentioned is always the same coalition for certain stability there and a huge overlap and thats a terrific thing.
