    <body><![CDATA[Heard him on NPR and was interested. It’s really well done. I didn’t realize that he was a novelist (the movie Rules of Engagment was based on one of his books) as well as the Secretary of Navy during the Reagan administration.  Makes for some interesting perspectives.   It is inspiring in the same way that Obama can energize, but he also gives voice to a few more pragmatic hard-core progressive concerns. Some of those rust-belt issues that seem to be dogging Obama.  I particularly like his comparisons of our current income stratification to the conditions in the Gilded Age when a vaunted Republican, Teddy Roosevelt, was a trust buster and fighting for giving all Americans a square deal.  He's very specific on military strategy and it is insightful.I think he challenges Democrats to become better Democrats and Republicans to become better Republicans. <br/>]]></body>
