Sunday Forum on Obama Presidency
Please join us this Sunday. Jan. 18 for the next in a series of Sunday Forums: Reflections on the Issues of the Day. We will gather at 12:15 p.m. in Room 201 for a discussion led by Al Adams on the topic "The Presidency in Perspective." Is Barack Obama something new under the sun or is this just the latest page in presidential history? What will we think in a year or two? The answers turn on the man but also the office. Let's think together about these things in perspective.
