With the largest popular vote majority in two decades, large gains
in Congress, and entering office at a time of economic crisis and
two wars, President Barack Obama was seemingly poised to become
America's strongest and most influential president since Ronald
Reagan. However, President Obama's first year in office has led to
some notable surprises with a seemingly incremental approach-he has
let Congress take the lead on his signature initiatives, expanding
health care coverage and an economic stimulus, while continuing a
trajectory begun by his predecessor in only gradually pulling out
of Iraq and expanding as well as reforming the U.S. role in
Afghanistan. What accounts for the political stability and change
demonstrated by the Obama administration? Which factors shaping a
presidency are structural, which are personal, and which are driven
by events? How will decisions made in the first two years of the
administration affect its future course? What lessons can we glean
from past presidencies? This timely volume of notable thinkers on
the presidency presents scholarly as well as applied insights on
Obama's administration at the half-way point. Assessing the
political context of his first two years, the inter-branch
relations, and policy developments all provide the necessary
grounding for students to make sense of the continuity and change
that Barack Obama represents.
