"Lessons from Lincoln, FDR and LBJ" (with audio)

On Point Radio, with audio:

The ghosts of American presidents past are all over the national conversation as Barack Obama prepares to move into the Oval Office.

Abraham Lincoln and his “team of rivals.” FDR and his Hundred Days. Slim JFK and his “best and brightest.” Bear hug LBJ and the arms he twisted to get things done.

Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin knows them all. She wrote the book “Team of Rivals,” and watched it go back on the bestseller list as Obama tapped Hillary Clinton. She knows the history.

This hour, On Point: Doris Kearns Goodwin, and presidents past, on the eve of Obama.
