coolidge's choice was different. he chose to go from the progressive wing of the republican party to the traditional or conservative wing. it was in both cases a big choice. you may know the line that coolidge spoke around the time he made this choice in 1919. he was speaking about public-sector workers and he said, there is no right to strike against the public safety by anyone, anywhere, anytime. very similar situation. similarities of these two speeches and events, coolidge in 1919, reagan in 1964, was action by public-sector unions in both of their cases. elevatedhes they made the mentor national status. reagan would not have been president but for 1964 and coolidge were not have been president for 1919. would likeriefly, i to talk about realizations that coolidge had an reagan had that are similar that got them to the point where they said, it is a time for choosing for me and for the country. i am very grateful for this time. this is what i identified in my work. the first releases asian that enabled coolidge t

coolidge rebuilt it out of cement.by the time this was done the two upper floors of the white house had risen to 180 tons. then finally i'm afraid i have to blame harry truman much as i like the man, for adding a balcony to the south portico right here it even though he was aware that the house was in trouble while it's going in. it was made of steel i beams and concrete 18 inches thick and i calculated a wait another 62 tons or so. do we understand now why we are seeing? in the walls? why these walls are sinking? these problems fell to these men. this is the commission you saw assembled on the frontline before. this is their meeting room in the east wing. these men were trusted with solving a big problem which is what on earth were they going to do about this house. not only did they have to decide what to do about the house but they also had to face off with those who said at the time if the white house the white house isn't as bad a shape maybe we should just tear it down. who honors would say something like this? t

this was calvin coolidge in 1927. he was being named an hon nair chief of a tribe in south dakota.m not to wear the head dress. they told him you might look silly. he said it's good for people to laugh. he put it on any way and that picture, calvin coolidge is a sense of humor is something that has not been recorded much in history. that is an example going back 90 years when people were wondering -- >> not to mention, i don't think that tribe wanted him to be laughing. so the bigger thing is that he thought it was funny and they thought they were honoring him. >> i think it speaks to an inherent tension in the american presidency. on one hand we want our presidents to be a normal citizen and have a beer with them. on the other hand we want them to be the a monarch with all of the trappings of the presidency. >> it also goes to the dangers of putting things on your head, like the helmets, don't do that, indian head dress, probably not. the first president i covered was ronald reagan and people constantly gave him hats, he would never put them on his head, he would hold it up, they

so, he was following the precedent of successful presidencies from both parties, including calvin coolidge in the 1920's, harry s. truman in the mid 1940's, and john f. kennedy in the early 1960's. lest we forget, in 1995, president bill clinton proclaimed the era of big government is over. he dramatically reduced federal spending as a percentage of g.d.p. he signed what amounted to the biggest capital gains tax cut in american history. he reduced entitlement spending by reforming the open-ended welfare system. he produced four years of budget surpluses and the economy blossomed. gorge w. bush pursued the opposite policies with the opposite results. he he dramatically increased -- he dramatically increased federal spending as a percentage of g.d.p. he pushed through the biggest expansion in entitlements since the great society. he turned in massive budget deficits, and the economy tanked. the problem with barack obama is not that he changed bush's policies but rather that he did not change them. he took the worst of them and doubled down. he's added $6. trillion to the national debt. meani
