One historian examines the political skills of Franklin D. Roosevelt … another tells us who the worst president in history was.
Today we go back into history to discuss with two presidential scholars perhaps the greatest president of all time, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and some of the worst, or most forgotten, gentlemen to occupy the White House.
And Bill Press talks with Joe Cirincione, president of the ploughshares fund.
