Listen to previous podcasts from the Book Review.
In The New York Times Book Review, Mark Lilla reviews “I Am the Change: Barack Obama and the Crisis of Liberalism†by Charles R. Kesler. Mr. Lilla writes that he needs help in understanding the conservative view of the president, whom he sees as “a moderate and cautious straight shooter.†Mr. Lilla continues:
But more than a few of our fellow citizens are loathing themselves blind over Barack Obama. Why? I need a level-headed conservative to explain this to me, and Charles R. Kesler seems an excellent candidate. An amiable Harvard-Â educated disciple of the conservative philosopher Leo Strauss, an admirer of Cicero and the founding fathers and Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. and Ronald Reagan, he teaches at Claremont ÂMcKenna College and is the editor of The Claremont Review of Books, one of the better conservative publications.
