In a wide-ranging conversation with one of the nation’s foremost presidential historians, he talks about his ambitions, frustrations, and the decisions that still haunt him. <br /><br />http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/09/barack-obama-doris-kearns-goodwin-interviewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-86341762781055537502016-09-23T07:09:15.622-08:002016-09-23T07:09:15.622-08:00Role Models

I suspect publicity-seeking parental guidance behind the child's letter.<br /><br />That aside, I strongly agree with the thought of aiding the small Syrian boy. If I had the funds I would personally pay all his expenses to come to this country provided a good permanent family could be found for him.

I also have been very startled by the cynical response by a number of so-called Christian folk, who's reaction is to dis our President, and to point out that older Syrians are all dangerous. I actually have written to a Christian news-site to ask them why their readers are so negative about this Letter to the President.
