Here on The Takeaway, we don’t make predictions about the upcoming presidential race. But, as always, history repeats itself. So a look at the past can give a glimpse to the future. We call on our friend, historian Kenneth C. Davis for a little help. He’s the author of “Don’t Know Much About History”. And today he’s talking about one-term presidents and what the failure to win re-election means for their legacy. Tell us what your favorite campaign slogans are. And what would you make the Obama or Romney slogan for 2012?
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
