Prisoners of the White House: The Isolation of America's Presidents and the Crisis of Leadership
Ken Walsh, White House correspondent for U.S. News, will discuss the attempts by different Presidents to break from the isolation of the White House, which President Truman described as “the great white jail,” and President Clinton called “the crown jewel of the federal penitentiary system.” Prisoners of the White House examines each administration’s methods, from Roosevelt to Obama, to access the public mood and stay connected with the nation within an increasingly insular White House.
