Every new president raises many questions. Because Barack Obama is
a relative newcomer to the national political scene, he possibly
raises more than most. Will he be a pragmatic centrist or will his
politics of hope ultimately flounder on the rocky shoals of
America's deep political divisions? What of his leadership style?
How will the uncommonly calm character demonstrated on the campaign
trail take shape in Obama's political style as commander-in-chief?
Obama takes office with extraordinarily high expectations and a
palpable hunger in the American psyche for a new national
direction. Inflated expectations, however, are often a recipe for
disappointment. Based on extensive biographical, psychological, and
political research and analysis, noted political psychologist
Stanley Renshon follows Obama's presidency through the first year.
He digs into the question of who is the real Obama and assesses the
advantages and limitations that he brings to the presidency. These
questions cannot be answered without recourse to psychological
analysis. And they cannot be answered without psychological
knowledge of presidential leadership and the presidency itself.
Renshon explains that Obama's ambition has an undercurrent in its
developmental history of the fear of failure that has enormous
consequences for his choices as president of an America that
remains politically divided.
