America loves its elites -- we love our sports stars, our movie stars, our rock stars and even our political stars.

JFK was no stranger to the plight of the African American of the 60's. On national television, he said, "One hundred years of delay have passed since President Lincoln freed the slaves, yet their heirs, their grandsons, are not fully free."

Tonight I think we know who the next President will be. McCain kept repeating that Obama doesn't "understand." But he clearly did. McCain made up no ground.

By Stephen C. Rose Presidents defy categorization by their decisions. Which renders exceedingly silly the idea that it makes a real difference whic...

I urge you to see a new film, Virtual JFK: Vietnam, If Kennedy Had Lived, by Koji Masutani, now at the Film Forum in New York through September 30.

How many names of Vice Presidents do you remember in US History? And no, I'm not talking about the ones that later became Presidents. I'm talking abou...

Pesky foreigners like Forestier probably think Sarah Palin was manufactured in a lab -- or pulled out of a hat -- in order to pander to specific demographics.

After he's elected we will hold Obama's feet to the fire. There will be disappointments -- but what's new about that? The Left is always disappointed.

With Barack Obama's bid for the White House, the torch has been passed to a new generation in more ways than one: For the first time, the best-known K...

Hoax, cheap stunt, crank, crackpot, racist, and sick, were the apt terms tossed at so-called artist Yazmany Arboleda for his grotesquely named near ...

There are two fundamental schools of thought on foreign policy: suppose the Israelis launch a preemptive attack against Iran -- what does the United States do?

For nearly her entire 51 years, Caroline Kennedy has been part of the socio-political fabric of this nation. She first captivated America as the tin...

Kennedy's death came when the world was on the cusp of transformation -- between authoritarian societies and social and political justice. Much of that change was stalled in the US for decades to come.

"Hillary Clinton is an exemplary Senator, a furious campaigner, and a great American. She has been a vital part of this moment in history, this moment when we showed the world what the 'land of opportunity' can mean."

The Kennedy family has always had special meaning in my life. I know exactly where I was when a friend yelled out to me in 1963, "The president has been shot."
Carol Felsenthal | Posted 05.15.2008 | Politics
For Barack Obama, the best scenario might be to offer the vice presidency to Hillary Clinton and pray that she declines.
Robert Schlesinger | Posted 05.12.2008 | Media
The New York Times traces the trend as far back as George Stephanopoulos's switch from the Clinton White House to ABC News, but it goes much further back.

If elected, Obama, could become a magic speaker in the vein of the Big Three; the extent to which he can go off-the-cuff in a Trumanesque manner remains unclear.
Robert Schlesinger | Posted 05.02.2008 | Politics
Words do matter and few presidents knew this better than JFK (who of course also understood that rhetorical power has its limits). How JFK came up wi...

It's becoming clear that Obama needs to do a better job speaking to the kind of voter once condescendingly described as a "regular person."

Ed Rendell is to Hillary Clinton as he is to the Eagles-- he cheerleads, he exhorts, he pleads and he is intensely loyal to a team that cannot win and ultimately will break his heart.

"I'm proud to be a liberal." That was John F. Kennedy back in 1960. You haven't heard too many people in public life saying that in recent years, but I think you'll be hearing a lot more of it.

I don't think the filmmakers for Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Who are evil or that they deliberately set out to send an awful message. But somehow it seems worse that they didn't notice.
