As 2009 comes to a close, Marty looks back at the year in national politics with guests Dr. JASON A. JOHNSON of Hiram College in Ohio and JIM GERAGHTY of the National Review. They’ll discuss a year that included stimulus packages, auto industry bailouts, Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize just after increasing U.S. troops in Afghanistan, the health care bill debate, climate change, Sarah Palin’s resignation and book tour, town hall meetings and tea parties, new terror threats and a new meaning for “hiking the Appalachian trail.”
