Founding Sisters and the Nineteenth Amendment (Turning Points in History)
One of Washingtons best known and most respected journalists, Eleanor Clift lends her thoughtful analysis on today most pressing issues including: *Politics* What will President Obama bring to his second term? Divided government what are the prospects for bipartisanship? Third party politics Voters dont like either major party. Time for a real change? Anniversaries 2012 was the centennial year of Ronald Reagans birth and the 50th anniversary of JFKs inauguration. What can these iconic presidents teach us? Is our political system broken or is it leadership that were lacking? *Women and Politics* Hillary Clinton didn't win the presidency in 2008, dashing the hopes of a generation of women. From suffrage to sexism, Clift looks at the obstacles that remain and how to shatter the last glass ceiling. Also, examining whats ahead for Hillary Clinton, whos become the indispensable woman in the Obama Administration. *Health care* Republicans continue to refute health care reform. Clift talks about the politics as well as offer a personal perspective on end of life care and the choices before us individually and as a society. Doctors can tell us what we can do; they can't tell us what we should do. *First Ladies* Michelle Obama fully understands the power of her platform, and she is using it to convey the priorities and values she shares with her husband. Her campaign against childhood obesity and the garden she planted on the South Lawn touch on important issues yet steer clear of controversy, which is how Obama, a Princeton and Harvard-educated lawyer, navigates the line between style and substance. *Media* The shrinking role of the mainstream media and its impact on politics. Can newspapers survive? Does anybody under 30 give a hoot if they don't? Barack Obama won the presidency in 2008 and re-election in 2012 in part because he understood the new tools of communication and mobilized them to his advantage. Clift talks personally about the changing media landscape with the merger of Newsweek and the Daily Beast and Newsweek foregoing its' print edition to go digital.
Eleanor Clift watched her husband, journalist Tom Brazaitis, dying of cancer at home at the same time as she was commenting on the debate over Terri Schiavo, who was dying in a Florida hospice. The two passed away within a day of each other. Clift's latest book *Two Weeks of Life: A Memoir of Love, Death, and Politics* alternates between these two stories to provide a moving commentary on how we deal, or fail to deal, with dying in modern America. Clift will provide audiences with: Insight into the struggle of how and when to end life How America has changed since the Schiavo case What individuals can do when facing the same choices
President Obama: Can he recover the magic? After the midterm shellacking, what has Obama learned, and how will he retool his presidency? Is he a one-term president?
What are the prospects for bipartisanship? And how will the newly empowered Republicans handle the rise of the Tea Party? Will Maine Senator Olympia Snowe become an Independent rather than face a primary challenge from the right? Third party politics: Voters don’t like either major party. Time for a real change? The presidency: Sizing up the candidates for the GOP. Which one can navigate the treacherous primary terrain? Anniversaries – 2012 is the centennial year of Ronald Reagan’s birth and the 50th anniversary of JFK’s inauguration. What can these iconic presidents teach us? Is our political system broken, or is it leadership that we’re lacking?
