President Obama's first year in office
It's Presidents' Day, and NPR's political big guns Ken Rudin and Ron Elving show us their report cards on President Obama's first year on Pennsylvania Avenue. How'd he do in international relations and warfare? What about domestic politics, health care and the economy?
Guests:
Ron Elving, Senior Washington Editor for NPR
Ken Rudin, NPR Political Editor and writer of the "Political Junkie" blog
1:20 - 1:40
Buzzie is back
He spent his childhood at the White House while photographers flashed pictures of him playing-not a normal childhood, but then again, he didn't have normal grandparents. Curtis Roosevelt was the grandson of President Franklin Roosevelt, which offered many positives, but also presented a slew of negatives. Patt talks to Roosevelt about growing up in the White House, growing up in the shadow of an American president and what it's like to try to live a normal life in abnormal circumstances.
Guests:
Curtis Roosevelt, grandson of President Franklin Roosevelt
1:40 - 2:00
Theodore Roosevelt: Conservationist and Unknowing Father of the Green Movement
Imagine Theodore Roosevelt in a PETA ad, hunting with Sarah Palin, and advocating for environmental policy before "green" became a catchphrase for environmentally aware. With incredible foresight and conviction, Roosevelt became the father of both the environmental and wildlife conservation movements, making the rich heritage of places like the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National Parks possible, yet Americans still disagree over importance of wildlife conservation and outdoor preservation. As the current administration determines its response to the enormous environmental crises of today, author Douglas Brinkley explores how Roosevelt as an "ethical hunter" became a compelling role model as an environmental and conservation activist.
Guests:
Douglas Brinkley, author "The Wilderness Warrior" and professor of history at Rice University. His other books include "The Great Deluge" and "The Reagan Diaries."

St. John's Clinic: from the front lines of health care
While the nation grapples with how to provide quality health care to the uninsured and underserved, a community clinic in South Los Angeles is getting it right. As part of KPCC's focus on health care reform, Patt visited St. John's Well Child and Family Center, where she spoke with medical practitioners, public health officials, local politicians and patients. St. John's is a non-profit health care provider and primary health care source for more than 100,000 people each year. Its 11 facilities provide patients with comprehensive care, including medical services, dentistry, access to a free on-site pharmacy, mental health services, pre-natal care, classes on cooking and nutrition, social advocacy and legal services. What's health care like for some of the poorest in LA? Here are stories from the front lines.
