The Global Obama examines the president’s image in five continents and more than twenty countries. It is the first book to look at Barack Obama’s presidency and analyze how Obama and America are viewed by publics, governments, and political commentators around world. The author of Barack Obama in Hawaii and Indonesia: The Making of a Global President (Top 10 Black History Book) scaled the globe to gather opinions – cultural, historical, and political analyses – about Obama’s leadership style. Writers, journalists, psychologists, consultants, and social scientists present their views on Obama’s leadership, popularity, and many of the global challenges that still remain unresolved. As a progress report, this is the first book that tries to grasp ‘the Obama phenomenon’ in totality, as perceived by populations around the world with special focus on America’s leadership in the 21st Century.

The 2010 election serves as a bookend to one of the remarkable political periods in recent U.S. history. Amidst a profound economic crisis, Americans elected an African American to the presidency and massive Democratic majorities to Congress. Beginning in 2009, the President and Congress put forward a sweeping agenda to both address the economic crisis and enact progressive policies that liberals had been advocating for decades. Within a year and a half, they would pass health care reform and financial reform alongside a stimulus package of nearly a trillion dollars. Democrats also rescued the auto industry via a partial government takeover and expanded the Bush administration's incipient program for saving the banking sector by pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into it. Finally, the Obama administration dramatically increased our commitment in Afghanistan while simultaneously winding down our presence in Iraq. In Obama at the Crossroads, eminent political scientists Desmond King and Larry Jacobs have gathered some of the best scholars in American politics to take stock of this extraordinary period. Covering the financial crisis, health care reform, racial politics, foreign policy, the nature of Obama's leadership, and the relationship between the administration's agenda and broader progressive goals, this will serve as a comprehensive overview of the key issues facing the Obama administration as it entered office.

Campaign Crossroads looks back over the varied, sometimes important, sometimes irrelevant, but always interesting presidential campaign cycles in Indiana’s history. By taking in the influences of technology, transportation and communication itself, we see an evolution in the political process that is not only altogether Hoosier, but also altogether American in its quality and importance. Using a narrative approach with a mix of primary and secondary sources, the work examines not only the rhetoric of presidents and presidential hopefuls, but also the nature of campaigns and their impact on Indiana communities. While Indiana enjoyed the position of being a battleground state for the better part of a century from the 1870s until the 1960s, it has also been ignored, dismissed, and has on occasion created unexpected political drama.

In an entertaining horse opera, Riders of the Silences, Max Brand is telling of the Legend of Red Pierre La Rouge and the phantom gunfighter, McGurk. In Canada, a young man Pierre is raised as an orphan, until he receives a letter from the American father he never knew existed. Pierre's father is dying, and so the young man goes to see him and, to give him the burial no one else will, and in the end, to avenge his death. To achieve his goals, Pierre takes up with a gang of outlaws, including Jacqueline Boone, a woman who dresses and acts like a man and calls herself Jack. In Crossroads, Brand continues the saga of his finest heroine, Jacqueline Boone – Jack, as she encounters notorious gunslinger Dix Van Dyck. After strangling sheriff's brother in self-defense, Dix is forced to run to a distant place of Double Bend, where he finds out just how much trouble Jacqueline Boone will bring him. Frederick Schiller Faust (1892-1944) was an American author known primarily for his thoughtful and literary Westerns under the pen name Max Brand. Prolific in many genres he wrote historical novels, detective mysteries, pulp fiction stories and many more. Many of his stories would later inspire films.

On February 1, 2011, President Obama stated that a transition process in Egypt ''should result in a government that is not only grounded in democratic principles but is also responsive to the aspirations of the Egyptian people.''the Egyptian Government's treatment of pro-democracy NGOs is in direct contradiction with the democratic principles and is not responsive to the aspirations of the Egyptian people. In fact, the Egyptian Government's politically motivated treatment of these NGOs is actually worse than the way they were treated by the Mubarak regime.

It's oft been said that all it takes for Evil to triumph is for good men to do Nothing. Worse, it's been too often shown that Evil is absolutely certain to triumph if its very existence is denied. And this is the crossroads at which America stands today. Cowed by political correctness and a measure of residual national guilt, the American people have chosen to assume a posture of "see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil" with regard to President Obama and his demonstrably destructive policies. Each major decision or enactment he has made bespeaks a hidden agenda designed to do grave harm to traditional America. He has chosen not to protect our borders; nor has he moved to ease our economic woes by allowing domestic oil production. Moreover, as our enemies accordingly grow bolder, he has undertaken to weaken our military. There is a vengeful malevolence to President Obama's actions which the average American seems given to deny, aided by the vigorous assistance of a complicit media sympathetic to his agenda. Citing the power of Denial - individual or programmatic - in covering over troubled waters, R.M. Catton and S.W. Catton offer this book as a clarion call to their fellow Americans to awaken them to the Evil that awaits this nation if they choose to do Nothing, heeding not the resounding tocsin. R.M. Catton and S.W. Catton are a husband and wife team whose many years of work in the field of Medicine equip them with a clinical perspective applied in this volume for addressing the socio-political malaise afflicting this now benighted nation. Tellingly, they offer President Obama as the prevailing symptom of that malaise and thus fully deserving diagnostic address; to wit, a Case Study suggested here as companion piece to those citizens who share their concern about the national distemper.

The 2008 presidential election was celebrated around the world as a seminal moment in U.S. political and racial history. White liberals and other progressives framed the election through the prism of change, while previously acknowledged demographic changes were hastily heralded as the dawn of a "post-racial" America. However, by 2011, much of the post-election idealism had dissipated in the wake of an on-going economic and financial crisis, escalating wars in Afghanistan and Libya, and the rise of the right-wing Tea Party movement. By placing Obama in the historical context of U.S. race relations, this volume interrogates the idealized and progressive view of American society advanced by much of the mainstream literature on Obama. Barack Obama and the Myth of a Post-Racial America takes a careful look at the historical, cultural and political dimensions of race in the United States, using an interdisciplinary analysis that incorporates approaches from history, political science, and sociology. Each chapter addresses controversial issues such as whether Obama can be considered an African-American president, whether his presidency actually delivered the kind of deep-rooted changes that were initially prophesised, and whether Obama has abandoned his core African-American constituency in favour of projecting a race-neutral approach designed to maintain centrist support. Through cutting edge, critically informed, and cross-disciplinary analyses, this collection directly addresses the dimensions of race in American society through the lens of Obama’s election and presidency.

Iran stands at a critical juncture in its history. In the era of Presidents Hassan Rouhani and Barack Obama, the Islamic Republic has a unique opportunity to regain its traditional greatness as a cradle of rich civilisation and culture, with a capacity to be a very influential and stabilising regional actor. In this incisive analysis, Amin Saikal, a leading expert on Iranian politics, traces Iran's transition from pro-Western monarchy to Islamic Republic and explores the choices open to Rouhani's moderate reformist government. The Islamic Republic has endured a difficult journey throughout its existence. But since Khomeini assumed power in 1979 it has been characterised by a degree of exceptionalism, which has seen Iran lock horns with the United States and prove itself an effective and shrewdly calculating player on the international stage. Looking to the future, Saikal does not shy away from confronting the difficult choices facing Iran today. Failure to achieve reconciliation with the United States in the coming years, he argues, will not only have serious implications for Iran's internal stability and for the future security of the Middle East, but also for America's position within this volatile and unpredictable region.

In this important and timely volume, Dennis W. Johnson has assembled an outstanding team of political scientists and political professionals to examine one of the fiercest and most closely fought presidential elections of our time. Like its predecessor, Campaigning for President 2008, Campaigning for President 2012: Strategy and Tactics focuses on political management. It is written by both elections/campaign scholars and practitioners, who highlight the role of political consultants and campaigns while also emphasizing the strategy and tactics employed by the candidates, the national political parties, and outside interests. The contributors explore the general mood of the electorate in the 2012 election, the challenges Obama faced after his first term, the primaries, money, communication, the important issues of the election, and finally the election itself.
