Public expectations of presidency
The president office in most of the developing as well as developed countries is looked as an institution for bringing improvements in the society. People often look at the office with very high hopes as they are of the opinion that the representative of the masses will have a better understanding about the problems and preferences of the people of the society. Throughout the history of USA we can observe that majority of the president came into the power because they picked up the major problem faced by the people of their times and used it as a weapon for their election campaigns (Boxer, 2009, p. 51). For example when Obama was running the election campaign he highlighted the expenses which the country has to bear to fight the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Opinion polls and surveys at the time of election campaign of Obama suggested that people are not happy with the war fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. That is the reason why Obama picked up the issue of war as a subject matter of its election campaign. In future we can assume that the major issue on the basis of...
Since the Obama's administration is focusing on shifting the tax burden to the elite members of the society. Therefore from the above discussion it can be concluded that the person sitting in the president office of the U.S.A. has a strong knowledge about the latest trends related to the issues and problems of the people. People often have some expectations when they elect their representatives. Some of these expectations can be considered as legitimate since the candidates running for the presidency often claim to solve particular types of problem peculiar to the society. But some of the expectation of the public can be considered as invalid. For example American President, Barrack Obama promised the nation that if he would come into the power then he certainly going to end the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Therefore if the people are asking about the progression of the government towards this goal then it can be implied that the demand of the public is legitimate (Cronin & Genovese, 1998, p. iii).

As the president works to pass what is most assuredly his most important legislative package to date, he is struggling against a great wall of opposition which appears to be driven by a philosophical aversion to public funding of a deeply privatized industry. The result is a tremendous amount of pressure on the president and a reigning fear in the public that he will be forced to capitulate. There are
McDonald also covers the evolution of the presidency, noting that the "level of expectation has been accelerated over the years by developments in the technology and communications" (278). In addition, the perception of the president has changed as well. As a society, we come to expect more from our president. In addition, the current-day president faces more perils than the president did one hundred years ago. McDonald also delves into
Introduction When Donald Trump launched campaigns for the highest seat in the land, most people – including most political analysts – did not believe he stood a chance. Here was a billionaire known for his brash language and liking for controversy. His role as a reality TV show host made him especially unqualified for politics. Due to the constant need to balance the interests of various stakeholders and ensure that no
Yet, Theodore Roosevelt also found within the American nationalism a powerful civic culture that made the United States of America as a country that welcomed all kinds of people irrespective of where they came from, their racial identity and religious leanings as long as they were prepared to devote themselves to the country and observe the laws of the land. Theodore Roosevelt also loved the idea that the United
Unemployment stands at a respectable 4.6%. Well, fine. But the other side of the ledger groans with distress: a tax code that has become hideously biased in favor of the rich; a national debt that will probably have grown 70% by the time this president leaves Washington; a swelling cascade of mortgage defaults; a record near-$850 billion trade deficit; oil prices that are higher than they have ever been;
