According to the Office of the President-elect, Obama plans to expand hate crimes statutes, and though there's no specific details about what the new administration will do on that front moving forward, Obama's record as an Illinois State senator is clear: He helped expand hate-crime legislation in the state.

Bush cannot be understated.  Let’s think back eight years to the White House meeting between President Bill Clinton and President-elect George W.

It’s a landmark tale of how America came to be a country of swelling cultural division, economic separation and political polarization. Going far beyond the simplistic “red state versus blue state” divide, Bishop — in collaboration with retired University of Texas sociologist and ...
