    (CNN) -- As Americans make up their minds and gear up to vote, CNN asks some of America's foremost presidential historians to weigh in on the question: What does it take to make a president great? Richard Reeves: FDR's place in the 20th century Presidential greatness is determined by being in the White House at the right time -- or the wrong time.

    (CNN) -- The Boy Scouts of America is considering changing its longstanding policy against allowing openly gay members, according to a release from the organization. The organization, which has 2.7 million members, is "potentially discussing" doing away with its policy after months of nationwide protest, including hundreds of angry Eagle scouts renouncing their hard-earned awards and mailing back their red-white-and-blue medals.

    Interesting idea as to how this would work. Let the independent group decide, I wonder how that would work out, and if their would be conflict at national events.

    It isn't just about sleeping in the same tent as a gay kid, one of the biggest things of being a Boy Scout is serving god. Most people who are gay usually aren't religious because in most religions being gay is a sin.
  • Bryan Pregon on 05 Feb 13
     
    Regarding Grayson's comment about god and the BoyScouts, not only will the BSA kick you out for being gay, but also atheist or agnostic scouts or leaders are not allowed. Here is more on the controversies including a Supreme Court challenge won by the BoyScouts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_Scouts_of_America_membership_controversies#Position_on_atheists_and_agnostics
  • Jeremy Vogel on 06 Feb 13
     
    Grayson your statement that gay people usually aren't religious isn't necessarily true. http://www.barna.org/barna-update/article/13-culture/282-spiritual-profile-of-homosexual-adults-provides-surprising-insights This link shows that, while they may not be as religious as heterosexuals, gay men and women are still religious people. Religion is an extremely personal thing for people and everyone can read a religious text and come out with different interpretations. Going back to the Boy Scouts, they are a private organization that a person is asking to join. Although I disagree with their current policies I feel that it is their right to make those policies if they would like. However, with diminishing membership and corporate sponsorship because of some of these policies they may have to reevaluate them as time goes on like they are doing now. What's interesting is that the Boy Scouts of America is one of the few members of the World Scouting movement that has a ban on Homosexuals. The equivalent programs in Canada and a majority of Europe do not have such bans and they have no issue with homosexual scouts making a commitment to God.

    re:Grayson -- an Iowan Eagle Scout named Zack Wahls disagrees with you. The second video linked from CNN gives both sides a chance to respond to the BSA's recent dilemma. http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/05/opinion/wahls-gays-scouting/index.html?iid=article_sidebar

    Washington (CNN) - An inaugural official who asked not to be identified told CNN Wednesday that pop star Beyoncé lip-synced her performance on Inauguration Day. "She did not sing live," the official told CNN. A pre-recording of the artist's rendition of the National Anthem was played instead.

    it is still her singing the national anthem and she did have the decency to prerecord it instead of having someone else do it at the last minute or decided to sing it anyway and mess it up and even though it wasn't live she still sung the song just on a different day and location

    It's something Trump has done before. In a 1990 CNN interview reviewed by CNN's KFile, Trump walked off an interview when reporter Charles Feldman pressed him on questions over the financial stability of his Atlantic City casinos. The interview took place in March 1990, just days before Trump's billion dollar Atlantic City casino, the Trump Taj Mahal, was set to open.

    Donald Trump walking off when he was pressed to answer questions about his casino make me want to know why he really walked off instead of just saying an excuse. Is he hiding something? Trump lashed out and said "You aren't going to talk about positive people. You'll talk about the negative. You want to talk about the negative." I understand that you should say positive things about people, but you should also be able to hear about the negative too because it is good to know.

    This kind of thing bothers me. Bullying isn't right, and when people hurt themselves because of it makes it worse. No one should ever have to feel like this. Bullies are horrible, they think it makes them look cool but in reality they look stupid and pathetic. What if someone bullied them ? They wouldn't like it , they would feel the same as the other person they bullied.
  • Mikaela Bowen on 16 Sep 13
     
    To be honest, I see that many people at our own school don't take much or any effort to put an end to bullying. Fights are often being encouraged instead of someone trying to stop it, and it's not hard to come across a post that is negatively directed at another student here. People need to start realizing the impact words and actions make, whether it's verbal or over a text.
  • Victoria Kirk on 16 Sep 13
     
    No one should ever feel like suicide is there way out. Though bullying is so wrong in many ways how will the bullies be charged? These kind of things are tricky to go about because of people exercising their "freedom to speak." Something has to be done soon before any more lives are taken.

    (CNN) -- A Connecticut judge could set bond for Michael Skakel on Thursday, paving the way for the possible release of the Kennedy relative, who has spent more than a decade in prison for the 1975 murder of Martha Moxley.

    (CNN) -- Michael Skakel, a Kennedy relative convicted of the 1975 murder of a 15-year-old neighbor, walked out of a Connecticut courthouse Thursday on bail. A Connecticut judge set bail at $1.2 million for Skakel, whose murder conviction in the death of Martha Moxley was vacated last month after a judge decided he did not receive adequate representation in his 2002 trial.

    It's surprising how we've been pulled back with involvements with cases like these. And also the fact that it was an organization/group/etc. we went after before adds on to the surprise of our current involvement. Back in early 2000's we were fighting wars, now we're just planning defense without using our troops.
