Wonder if darth vader will drop any f bombs as well.

Good luck with them getting anything but lies from these war criminals by the way. Now if the did a side by side with the truth and their bull, that would be a valid oral history. Doubt that though.

I hope they have the guts to ask "W" about his use of religion as a deciding factor as President. If he is honest, everyone will be shocked, and if he is not honest he will set the response everyone else will have to confirm or oppose. Either way will be very interesting and informative.

Was "W" knowledgeable about "The Family?" Dominionism? Pat Robert's desire to make the Constitution subordinate to the bible as interpreted by the Evangelicals? There's a lot more to ask, and much of it will clarify the authoritarianism that was so clear in the Bush/Cheney administration.

You really think that would stop them from lying?

I'll give you Washington, Lincoln and FDR. What big social and political changes occurred under TR and Reagan that really mattered much?

And don't give me the collapse of the USSR. That didn't really effect the U.S. until 9/11/2001. Between 1989 and 2001 there was just a lack of American national focus and confusion, but no real changes. The government and politics simply continued in the interim much as before, but with a lack of real focus. There had to be a new American political focus to really change things.

Unfortunately the Bush/conservative response was the totally incompetent and global business-oriented invasion of Iraq. It was a typical conservative response to massive social and political change. Afghanistan made a lot more sense than Iraq, but the Bush administration was forced into that by public opinion. They didn't want to do it and quickly abandoned it. Remember?

TR? Nothing really major happened. What mattered after that in American politics was the Great War, and the big changes from that were under FDR when the passivity of Hoover had to be countered. Harding, Coolidge and Hoover took no significant actions. Everything drifted until FDR. The conservatives had again failed to deal with the changes.

I'd suggest Andrew Jackson before Lincoln, TR or Reagan. He pushed democracy down below the level of national control by the moneyed elite and represented true middle class democracy, even if he didn't himself cause it.

I really don't think that "W" was motivated by his personal income. He was going to inherit from his very wealthy father and was handed every job he ever took. It wasn't difficult for him, it was his birthright. But the people who surrounded him were very much income-oriented, and he wanted to help them.

"W" was and remains very oriented towards getting "the best" people into office to control the nation. He is highly class-oriented. "The best" people are his close friends.

His Christianity is clearly important to him. It was his lifeline out of his drug and alcohol lifestyle. The political implications of that are, in my opinion, secondary to "W." But not to Karl Rove. Rove is responsible for using it politically I think.

A competent oral historian will ask questions that don't directly confront him. He'll keep trying to explain, giving us all much better information about his thinking.
