Ira Chernus, TomDispatch: "Looking back on Barack Obama's first post-election interview with '60 Minutes,' no one should be surprised that he admitted he's reading about Franklin D. Roosevelt's first hundred days in office. In fact, the president-elect -- evidently taking no chances -- is reportedly reading two books: Jonathan Alter's The Defining Moment: FDR's Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope and Jean Edward Smith's FDR. As he told 'Sixty Minutes,' his administration will emulate FDR's 'willingness to try things and experiment … If something doesn't work, [we're] gonna try something else until [we] find something that does.'"
