The New York Times has posted some interesting articles by leading presidential historians on the 20th century's leading presidents and what Obama can learn from during his first 100 days in office.As Barack Obama readies to take the office of president, which of his predecessors offers the best model for getting off on the right foot?
The historians include Richard Reeves and Robert Dallek, leading historians in the Kennedy and Johnston eras. I found Roger Morris' article on Nixon particularly insightful.
How F.D.R. Made the Presidency Matter by Jean Edward Smith.
Obama, F.D.R. and Taming the Press by Jean Edward Smith.
Kennedy’s Words, Obama’s Challenge by Richard Reeves.L.B.J., Obama and Reassuring a Worried Nation by Robert Dallek.
The President Behind the Mask by Roger Morris.
Obama’s Reagan Transformation? by Lou Cannon.
Kudos for telling me why the picture is out of place.
