A journalist, two historians, and a biographer of Theodore Roosevelt address President Bill Clinton’s adulation of Roosevelt. Kenneth T. Walsh joins Edmund Morris, Kathleen Dalton, and Douglas Brinkley in offering insights and criticism of Clinton’s attempt to emulate Roosevelt. The article also touches on the presidency of George Bush and on how each president rotates the portraits of his predecessors that hang in the White House. The article concludes with an excerpt from Clinton’s book Between Hope and History. Small images of Roosevelt and Clinton appear next to each other on the second page of the article.
