Popular Videos – During Barack Obama's victory speech in North Carolina last night, he offered an argument about his much-criticized assertion that he would hold talks with America's enemies without preconditions. Obama claimed that he would only be following in the footsteps of FDR and Harry Truman with this kind of openness. For a history buff such as myself, thi
