john adams said he is one of the three most noble founders. started the sunday school in america and started america's first bible society. this man in the center, i'll take a drumstick air, is one of the guys who drafted the declaration of independence. he is a theologian. he wrote a doctoral creed for his congress befriended bill of rights. his practice was every year when he went to congress he took a brand-new bible within made notes in a figure to his kids when he got home. it was a good keepsake. it took a while because he had 15 kids. well folks that this man hear the reverend dr. john witherspoon of princeton university. >> mike: the president of princeton? many of the schools had historical origins in faith. they were christian colleges to make absolutely. princeton is a new university when he was there. upon the statement is very simple. it said kearse is contrary to the cross of christ. is there to turn out ministers and he turned up a number of founding fathers from john witherspoon himself, we can point to about one third of the f

famous letters you probably heard about to her husband, to, to spoil the ending turns out to be john adams and she's abigail adams, there are these letters to her husband, saying we talk about a nation offee quas and democracy and how come the women don't get to go to school, and i got curious about it, i wanted to know why she wanted to go to school and what she wanted to get out of it and she said she wanted literature with a capital "l" and i thought, i kind of get that, why did she want literature? what was that going to do for her? and she said, her sister actually wrote, saying there was nothing more tedious than this little town in massachusetts and the only thing noteworthy about it was that nothing ever happened and that literature was a way to learn about the world, and to learn about sophistication, and was a salvation, so that was part of it, i think. and she wanted -- didn't want to change the school system. she watch henry ford who wanted to go out and make something. she wanted to do exactly what john nas had done and wanted an education and then you look at how she raised h

despair, i cannot believe they did not do john adams' birthnight.s still washington's birthday. people still flocked to mount vernon, as they still do, but the hundreds, first to see the great man himself. then, after his death, to see martha washington. because like many first ladies, martha washington in the popular mind represented her husband. even after his death, they still wanted to meet her, to talk to her, to touch her hand. it was a way to have a sort of daisy chain of touching the past and the great days of the nation. martha washington was terrific. she was friendly, generous, kind, charming. she set precedents of dignity and devotion that are well followed. she was the worthy partner of the incomparable george washington, and she set the standards for others to follow as the first first lady. thank you. [applause] >> thank you. sally, you are right. that makes me crazy that people say to me all the time, is michelle obama going to be a traditional first lady? my basic answer is, yes, probably. a traditional first lady is very involved i

>> i think we do but as you well know you can go back to john adams whose son john quincy adams was electednt and at the time he took a lot of people from people who said adam you're trying to resemble the houses of europe. now they have a leg up they didn't have early in american history because in this new political process, if you're from a dynasty, you have an already made network of relationships with people, especially big dorns but people who don't have serve in office will lack. another thing you have instant name recognition. i think richard nixon's family probably would have had a hard time getting elected in 1978 or in the 1980s because his reputation was bad. but if you're related to a popular political figure, that's a big help. >> michael, i want to bring in the deputy managing editor of "time" magazine, ramesh. your thoughts as you hear michael share his thoughts on ted kennedy. >> i want to go back to what we were talking before the break and michael's comments that senator kennedy and somebody thought he had a shot at the white house in 1968. in our magazine this week, joe

as time spent away from the office, was at the very, very beginning of all of this, and it was john adams. david mccall in his biography of adams notes that there was one summer when adams' wife became ill that he was away for a full seven months. that is certainly longer than anybody has ever managed up until now. george washington spent about a year at mount vernon. host: the upcoming book is called "escaping the guilded cage." if you want to get more information, log on. a link available through c-span.org. next call, sandy from florida. caller: hello. i'd like to tie this into the last segment and say that the reason that people are opposing this so-called health care reform is not because we don't want to cover all the people in this country. that is something that the grand majority including the conservative republicans want to do. but what the issue is, is we don't trust our government. and this segment about these presidential vacations is part -- high lights part of the problem, which is that these presidents have become like royalty where we watch their ever move. i mean, we ha

"up great part of the night, wife and child sick, saw nothing, calm day." at 111 characters, it's fairly mundane. does it remind you of anything? well, researchers at the massachusetts historical society recently went through all of these diary updates and they realized it looks like john quincy adams was twittering, so they're re-creating these once a day, blasting them out on twitter 200 years later. >> is that a correct term, twittering? i thought it was tweeting. >> look, i just got corrected by wolf blitzer. >> make sure we don't get any angry tweets as a result of that. what was he up to 200 years ago? >> well, this was before he was president with 1809 and he was traveling to russia to be the first u.s. ambassador. so, these tweets are re-creating the journey he was taking starting august 5th, set sail from charlestown, then he had more than 50 days at sea with his wife, and so the tweets are coming in from that journey. he saw a wha

the discussion i recall john ashcroft pointing to as the transcripts of not just the bin laden tape but a tape that also come out in those days, of adam gudan, who threatened to have the streets of the united states run with blood. i recall john ashcroft quoting from the transcripts and the intelligence we had at the time. >> paul, what do you make of this? first of all, i wasn't there. fran was. i have great respect for her. this is an eyewitness account from a member of the bush cabinet that says political pressure was brought to bear on him. they raise the threat level three days after the democratic convention. when they did at the time, senior law enforcement officials were telling "the washington post" there was nothing new here and they could not understand why the bushed amanage was raising the threat level. you look at the fact that karl rove, the president's chief political adviser had a strategy memo, a political strategy memo, that had been leaked. the first three words was, focus on war. you look at the fact that president bush scheduled the vote for the war itself three weeks to the day before the 2002 midterm. again and
