Larry Elder
The Sound of Ideas
Posted February 6, 2012
Larry Elder, who'll address American exceptionalism at the Town Hall lecture series here, paints president Obama as a big government liberal protected by an anti-Republican media. Elder is a former Clevelander who says that white racism is no longer a major problem in America and blacks would do better by voting Republican. And the housing meltdown wasn't caused by greedy Wall Street bankers, he says, but by the government. Agree? Disagree? Join our conversation, Monday 9:00 on The Sound of Ideas.
