Dr. Meena Bose discussed this with FOX news radio affiliates around the country, including WBAP in Dallas, TX; WHO in Des Moines, IA; WFRK in Florence, SC; KLIF in Dallas, TX; WERC in Birmingham, AL; and WJR in Detroit, MI.



Dr. Bose is professor of political science, executive dean of the Public Policy and Public Service program, and executive director of the Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency.
