Taylor Swift does it again. Cornelia Street is the perfect song for Obama‘s departure from the White House. #obama #thecallofhistory #peterbaker #taylorswift #corneliastreet #popculture #lover #popculturehistory #presidency #inaguration #departure #epilogue #foreverpresident
More than Russian interference, I feel like the polls and predictions did more to influence the 2016 elections. i feel as if maybe by saying Hillary had an almost 100% chance of winning, it fueled those who were not necessarily going to vote to go vote for Donald Trump. #obama #thecallofhistory #peterbaker #donaldtrump #polls #election #2016election #hillaryclinton #russia #collusion #uspolitics #politicalscience #ushistory #history

And now, the discussion- Should countries welcome “constructive criticism” from other countries? If so, does that include countries that are adversaries as well as allies? After visiting Cuba, President Obama welcomed President Raúl Castro‘s criticism of the United States and treated it as a learning moment. Many conservative republicans saw this as apologizing for past mistakes instead. #obama #thecallofhistory #peterbaker #presidency #cuba

Part 2: Now that we know how it ended and where we are today, did Barack Obama‘s plan to make Donald Trump and the Republican Party look like a joke work out in his and the Democratic Party‘s favor? Or did it backfire? #obama #thecallofhistory #barackobama #donaldtrump #whitehousecorrespondentsdinner #ushistory #history #peterbaker #uspolitics #politicalscience #republicanparty #democraticparty
Part 1: It‘s time for a quote and a question: Barack Obama made fun of Donald Trump at the 2011 White House Correspondents Dinner. His goal was to make Trump a symbol of the Republican Party and therefore making the Republican Party look like a joke… #barackobama #obama #thecallofhistory #peterbaker #donaldtrump #whitehousecorrespondentsdinner #republicanparty #jokes #democraticparty #ushistory #history #politicalscience #uspolitics
