Reply #11: Frankly, I don't hear Obama saying much about U.S. history in general

that I wouldn't contest. When he makes statements about history, I so seldom think that he's clearly right. I've always had an interest in history, and I was a history major in college. I also lived through some of the later '60s stuff. I genuinely wish that he would post citations to authorities that back up his statements. Sometimes I wish that he'd taken more history in college and less poli sci.

He may be able to point out some failures, but I haven't heard or read about him acknowledging the successes of that time. If he can't articulate them, then I think that we might have to go through the processes again that produced positive change during that time. I don't want to go through that again, and it sounds like you don't, either.
