Introduction I am a Professor in one of California Cities great Universities. I may not be a rocket scientist, but I like to think that I am well-versed in American Politics. I've been to the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Central America, and pretty much all over Asia. And I’m sorry to say that many of the people I met all over the world were pretty much more informed about American politics than most Americans.
