Yesterday humble air to the respective affection such a man is like deed wise and how are the man from abilene. The 100 millimeter million americans know eisenhower the way you know a neighbor, you know my heart. Why do we cheer for him . Not because he is a general but instinctively we believe him and hail him as a hometown boy who is all the best of america. His roots are in the heartland, main street usa.

Fed will look for. You have retail sales and they are in positive territory, but the rebound is slowing. How do they digest the data . Catherine a lot of people are looking for whether or not the fed will alter the economic rejections. They have been very limited. A downside perspective for the u. S. Economy and some people are saying the data is more positive. Optimistic, is too i think the fed will not upgrade their forecast because the data coming in, everyone expected to be a balance, but there is a loss of momentum, and if we take a broader perspective, it is fragile.

Know scott does, too, with the letters and diaries in private journals so when i found these letters, i realized they had become friends in the early 30s. An odd couple. Teddy marched around everywhere during wrestling and boxing. Weighing between 250 350. Not doing much wrestling or boxing at that time but they liked each other. Opposites almost attractive. So he brings him into his cabinet and becomes the most important person in his cabinet. They want him to run against taft in a Brutal Campaign and because there are two republicans running so then he runs on the bull moose thirdparty Campaign Opening the door for the democratic win so the heartbreak was much greater because of friendship was stronger i love writing about these emotional things it was more than a straight linear story. Woodrow wilson came into the picture and then went back to progressivism. Wilson went back to progressivism big time taking the foundation that was there and built upon it.

Of his bestseller, what it takes for this clip he recounts the aneurysm that mr. Biden suffered in 1988 following his failed run for that years democratic president ial nomination. And how it impacted his life and political career. Will you have to remember that joe biden i think was forced out of the race in september of 1987. By a series of revelations, none of which individually were kind of minor and almost laughable when you look back on them.

And he really did not come out speaking into the turn of the year, 1988 the early part of that year. It was february the first time he had been out, talking on a college campus. He went to the university of rochester as a matter fact. Were either . Guest out no i was not there. I was in New Hampshire with all of the good members of the pack. And joe gave his speech at the university
So i knew of course that taft succeeded teddy and they would run against each other 1912, but then you always go back and i know scott does too, you want the primary sources, the letters and diaries and private journals for historians so when i found the 400 letters between the two, i realized they become friends when they were in their early 30s and an odd couple, teddy who is marching around everywhere doing wrestling and boxing and taft wayne between 250 and 350 is not doing much wrestling and boxing at that point, but they liked each other and the opposites almost attracted and teddy brings them into his cabinet, he becomes the most important person in his cabinet even though all his life he wanted to be a judge, never a politician, from from that he decides hes the man i want to succeed me, he runs the taft campaign, gives him advice at every moment, the only thing he did not give him a vice was the Campaign Song which i dont think teddy wouldve approved of it was get on a raft wi
