The Tale of Two Presidential Sons

President George W. Bush does not want history to repeat itself when it comes to re-electing sons of former presidents... Philip Klinkner, a historian at Hamilton College in New York, says Bush has a lot easier task than Adams, who he says was facing a cultural change toward populism, of which Jackson was the leader and beneficiary. "Jackson was part of a movement reshaping politics and society.  There was no way to stop it.  Bush has the political environment.  He can steer for the middle.  That's what the majority of Americans want." http://www.hamilton.edu/images/buttons/finish.gif
