Charlie Rose: A Conversation with author Simon Schama about his "The American Future: A History"
CHARLIE ROSE: All right. That segues perfectly into this. So, but I’m interested…
SIMON SCHAMA: Yes.
CHARLIE ROSE: Became passionately in love with America as much as the Americans. What did you fall in love with?
SIMON SCHAMA: Oh, you know, the division of powers. Isn’t that the dullest question — the dullest answer to the most interesting question? By which I mean the liveliness of American politics.
Watch it all (just over 30 1/2 minutes). Look for the comments on Europe’s view of this administration and the previous one and for the wonderful Hamlet quote.
