In Will Rogers Views the News, seasoned newsman Robert Waldrop applies Will Rogerss brand of shrewd insight and quick wit to todays unpredictable and oft en humorous news events.

Will Rogers loved political figures, especially United States presidents. He teased the candidates during their campaigns and lampooned those who succeeded in being elected. While considering Rogerss past comments about the economy, the president, and Congress in light of the current political climate in America, Waldrop reinforces that if not for the doubletalk, answer dodging, and lack of focus of our elected leaders, humorists would have nothing to talk about.
