Kevin Yee (a man I despise, but i digress) reports the new show has a regretable liberal tilt. He thinks it's trying to make it look like the flow and purpose of history led to the historic election of Barack Obama.
The presidents highlighted are Washington, Jackson, Lincoln, Roosevelt (Teddy), Roosevelt (Franklin), Kennedy and Obama.
I doubt much of any deviation would be made in selecting the half dozen outstanding presidents to feature, if the criteria were outstanding American presidents. Gee, does it make you wonder why such a selection leads to a liberal and progressive bent?
Kevin Yee is worried conservatives will be offended. To them I say thems the breaks for your politics being unexceptional to the course of American History. Too bad.
