I have mixed feelings about this.
Pros:
1 - it’s a great way to explain yourself without the filter of the media
2 - what’s cooler than having the POTUS teach you a course?
Cons:
1 - could be construed as a Third-Reich-style propaganda piece
2 - ego
3 - when will he have the time?
Personally, I’d probably “take” the course...
I’d take the course too!
Having been on FR for years (I hate to admit this, but I joined to make ONE comment in the first GWB election, and now I’m up to some insane number of comments and probably an astronomical number of views) I can say there are many, many conservatives who have virtually no knowledge of our system.
Some of them are young people who grew up in conservative areas or in conservative families, and others are older people who are conservative simply because they don’t like what’s going on now. But a lot of them don’t have enough solid knowledge to argue their positions.
So if Gingrich gives a course, sign me up...along with the rest of my family, most of them nice people but seriously badly educated in our public schools.
I agree with everything about your comment.
