With the selection of a new national security team deeply suspicious of the wisdom of American military interventions around the world‚ President Obama appears to have ended‚ at least for the moment‚ many of the internal administration debates that played out in the Situation Room over the past four years. He has sided‚ without quite saying so‚ with Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s view — argued‚ for the most part‚ in the confines of the White House — that caution‚ covert action and a modest

President Machiavelli Bush George W. Bush‚ our current President‚ must keep a copy of Machiavelli’s most celebrated work‚ “The Prince “(1513)‚ on his desk in the Oval Office. In my opinion‚ Bush and his administration’s actions mimic Machiavelli’s advice to the Prince on the tactics that he should use to stay in power. I am going to discuss how President Bush uses Machiavellian principles. My first example is of Bush’s “War on Terror”. In 2001‚ the President stated that Saddam

On December 8‚ 1941‚ President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed a joint session of Congress‚ delivering what would become one of the most memorable speeches in American history. His request for Congress to declare war on Japan was prompted by the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor the previous day. Roosevelt’s eloquent appeal to Congress framed the attack as "a date which will live in infamy‚" and his request was met with near-unanimous support. Analyzing Roosevelt’s decision requires a nuanced understanding

Presidents and Affirmative Action In 1965‚ President Lyndon B. Johnson issued Executive Order #11246 at Howard University that required federal contractors to undertake affirmative action to increase the number of minorities that they employ. He wanted to ensure that minorities were recruited to have real opportunities to be hired and then eventually get a promotion.

election. There is no doubt that it is controversial‚ but in the end either Trump or Clinton will be moving into the Oval Office in the start of next year. Experience is something that I feel is strongly important and crucial to have when running for president. It has been said in Donald Trump’s campaign that “he’s a smart businessman and successful dealmaker”. Hillary Clinton on the other hand is a “self-assured lawyer‚ a powerful political wife or a tenacious presidential candidate‚.”. She has had

I have to agree with President Obama on one issue‚ poisonous gas should not‚ must not ever be used against any living thing; however I do not think that the United States should bear the full cost of any action taken against Syria. President Obama’s passionate appeal to retaliate against the Syrian regime for the death of hundreds of children appears hollow when we consider what the US did in Iraq under the same pretext of weapons of mass destruction. The US bombing and the consequential war killed
