Selena Rodriguez November 19, 2012 In the film Mr. Smith goes to Washington Mr.Smith who is head of the Boy Rangers was handpicked by Hopper to go into the senate. Mr. Smith is chosen to replace a recently deceased senator. They figured it’d be easy to manipulate Mr.Smith into going with the flow, they think he won’t have a say and will sit there and be quiet. Senator Payne is one of Mr.Smiths dad’s friends. Mr.Smiths Dad would always say good things about him.
The key period is the weeks after Gore conceded the 2000 election and before the inauguration, when the Clintons knew they would be preparing for a Bush presidency. The abuses in that brief period are well-known now: from numerous pardons, including some to campaign donors; to the Clintons' claiming some White House furniture as personal rather than state-owned. Several of the "abuses" claimed by Olson went beyond politics and into policy: from a last-minute change in the EPA definition of allowed arsenic levels; to making the United State a signatory to the International Criminal Court. The reason this book paints a nicer picture than Hell To Pay is because it moves beyond politics to policy. In that regard, it's a detailed description of what Clinton did, mostly by Executive Order, in anticipation of four years of a Bush presidency undoing Clinton's 8-year legacy.
A full-throated defense of the senator is now in the bookstores. Written by M. Stanton Evans, a conservative journalist whose roots stretch back to Barry Goldwater’s 1964 presidential campaign, it carries a title, “Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America’s Enemies” (Crown Forum, $29.95), that well explains its thesis. Though a handful of other pro-McCarthy books have appeared over the years — the most recent being Arthur Herman’s “Joseph McCarthy: Reexamining the Life and Legacy of America’s Most Hated Senator” — none created much interest among conservatives. But “Blacklisted by History” is drawing significant attention on the political right, where the reviews have ranged from gushing (The Weekly Standard) to scathing (National Review). If nothing else, Evans has forced his movement friends to look again at McCarthy.

And now after this assignment means a lot more to me. My husband is directly related to Hon Yerry and Two kettles family in the painting. And my husband has a very extensive opinion on the painting as well. Also this painting makes me wonder if the United States government will ever change their views of American Indians or so called savages. Considering the Oneida Indians owned all of New York State and some surrounding areas and now they own thirty two acres in Oneida New York they got a bum deal for all the help they gave the United States.

The museum that I chose to go to during my spring break was the American Museum of Natural History. It was very difficult at first to find a museum which relates to my community since my community is mainly political-oriented (Republican Community in Bayside), while most museums are either art/culturally oriented. The American Museum of Natural History was the closest museum that related to my community because of the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial. Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th president of the United States. He was one of the most profound presidents in the history of our nation, and he is one of the four presidents that have a sculpture on Mount Rushmore.
