ABOUT THIS BLOG

I shall post videos, graphs, news stories, and other material there. We shall use some of this material in class, and you may review the rest at your convenience. You will all receive invitations to post to the blog. (Please let me know if you do not get such an invitation.) I encourage you to use the blog in these ways:
To post questions or comments about the readings before we discuss them in class;
To follow up on class discussions with additional comments or questions.
To post relevant news items or videos.

There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges.

Conflicts Between Congress and the President?

I'm sure many/most of you have heard about this by now. Today President Obama answered questions from Republicans at a GOP retreat. He responded to a number of their critiques with calls for real progress and bipartisanship in lawmaking rather than political posturing. As a side note, it was interesting to see how the different cable news channels covered this. MSNBC aired it in full while Fox News cut it off during the middle and later seemed to splice together the clips in a way that made it look like Obama wasn't answering the questions he was asked.
