What is he a professor of? Is this what UCLA supports having professors who are members of La Raza----? Doesn't look like a very big crowd. But it is people like him who will grab attention as he already has.

oh bummer! Does joe klein think this ucla professor is preaching and teaching sedition? If the mexican revolution was such a good thing why are so many mexicans immigrating to the US? Compare that to the number of americans immigrating to mexico. Why doesn't this ucla professor move to mexico if their system is better than the US system? In mexico it is taught that someday the mexican territory taken from mexico in the texas-mexican war will eventually be taken back. Now do those who moved here to get out of mexico really want to make their home in mexico again? Don't worry! Be happy! the hopeless comrade chartseer in the new era talk

Mr. Sestak, talking to reporters Friday, used the White House's terminology in describing the offer as a "presidential board," not his earlier description of a job offer. One of the possible advisory posts the White House had in mind, according to the person familiar with the matter, was on the President's Intelligence Advisory Board. Its 16 members are unpaid and may not be federal government employees, meaning that Mr. Sestak may have had to leave his House seat to accept the position. He said Mr. Clinton called him and said, "Joe, if you stay in the House, Rahm has brought up being appointed to a presidential board." When Mr. Sestak interrupted the former president to refuse, he said, Mr. Clinton chuckled and replied, "Joe, I knew you were going to say that." The two of them never discussed it again, Mr. Sestak added. A spokesman for the Clinton Foundation declined to comment on Mr. Clinton's role. Mr. Sestak, a former Navy officer, had served on the White House National Security Council under Mr. Clinton. Some Republicans say the White House may have violated Section 600 of the federal criminal code, which makes it illegal to promise anyone an appointment in exchange for political activity, or in exchange for supporting or opposing a candidate.
