Book Synopsis The State of the Union Is . . .: Memorable Addresses of the Last Fifty Years by : Aaron Kall
Download or read book The State of the Union Is . . .: Memorable Addresses of the Last Fifty Years written by Aaron Kall and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-27 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: President Donald J. Trump is scheduled to deliver his second State of the Union address on February 5, 2019. His inaugural address, speech to a joint session of Congress, first State of the Union address, and recent Oval Office address were all wildly inconsistent and garnered mixed reviews. In this book, a group of speech and communication experts from around the country analyze the most memorable State of the Union addresses of the last half-century. From President Lyndon Johnson's declaration of a war on poverty during his 1964 address through Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's utterance of the phrase "not true" during President Barack Obama's 2010 speech, historical moments and political fireworks are frequently produced before a television audience of millions. Familiar phrases such as "the era of big government is over" and "axis of evil" can be traced to recent State of the Union addresses. Each chapter in the book concludes with sage advice for President Trump's upcoming speech, which could be integral to fending off impeachment from a newly elected Democratic House of Representatives and winning re-election in 2020. With so much at stake, President Trump and his team of speechwriters should closely study the work of his predecessors to produce the best final product. Whether or not this occurs remains quite unclear at this time.

Over seventy major speeches have been carefully selected from the 4700 speeches archived by the White House. Every State of the Union and Inaugural address is included, along with campaign speeches, foreign addresses, remarks about key events during Obama's time in office, and his farewell address.

Contents: 1. Eight Years of Recovery and Reinvestment * 2. Historic Commitment to Protecting the Environment and Reversing Climate Change * 3. President Obama on the Economy * 4. President Obama on Health * 5. President Obama on Social Progress * 6. American Leadership in the World * 7.

The forceful response to the crisis in 2008 and 2009 helped stave off a potential second Depression, setting the U.S. economy on track to rebuild, reinvest, and recover. Recovery from the crisis alone, though, was never our sole aim. The Administration has also addressed the structural barriers to shared, sustainable prosperity that middle-class families had faced for decades-rising health care costs, limited access to higher education, slow growth in incomes, high levels of inequality, a reliance on oil and other sources of carbon pollution, and more-so that the U.S. economy would work for all Americans. Thanks to these policy efforts, eight years later, the American economy is stronger, more resilient, and better positioned for the 21st century than ever before.
Book Synopsis Showdown in Virginia by : William W. Freehling
Download or read book Showdown in Virginia written by William W. Freehling and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2010-03-29 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1861, Virginians confronted destiny—their own and their nation’s. Pivotal decisions awaited about secession, the consequences of which would unfold for a hundred years and more. But few Virginians wanted to decide at all. Instead, they talked, almost interminably. The remarkable record of the Virginia State Convention, edited in a fine modern version in 1965, runs to almost 3,000 pages, some 1.3 million words. Through the diligent efforts of William W. Freehling and Craig M. Simpson, this daunting record has now been made accessible to teachers, students, and general readers. With important contextual contributions—an introduction and commentary, chronology, headnotes, and suggestions for further reading—the essential core of the speeches, and what they signified, is now within reach. This is a collection of speeches by men for whom everything was at risk. Some saw independence and even war as glory; others predicted ruin and devastation. They all offered commentary of lasting interest to anyone concerned about the fate of democracy in crisis.

Book Synopsis Why Presidents Fail And How They Can Succeed Again by : Elaine C. Kamarck
Download or read book Why Presidents Fail And How They Can Succeed Again written by Elaine C. Kamarck and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Failure should not be an option in the presidency, but for too long it has been the norm. From the botched attempt to rescue the U.S. diplomats held hostage by Iran in 1980 under President Jimmy Carter and the missed intelligence on Al Qaeda before 9-11 under George W. Bush to, most recently, the computer meltdown that marked the arrival of health care reform under Barack Obama, the American presidency has been a profile in failure. In Why Presidents Fail and How They Can Succeed Again, Elaine Kamarck surveys these and other recent presidential failures to understand why Americans have lost faith in their leaders—and how they can get it back. Kamarck argues that presidents today spend too much time talking and not enough time governing, and that they have allowed themselves to become more and more distant from the federal bureaucracy that is supposed to implement policy. After decades of "imperial" and "rhetorical" presidencies, we are in need of a "managerial" president. This White House insider and former Harvard academic explains the difficulties of governing in our modern political landscape, and offers examples and recommendations of how our next president can not only recreate faith in leadership but also run a competent, successful administration.

Book excerpt: State of the Union 3 This is a book on National News & Editorials a continuation of the State of the Union Series under James Republican Strategy. I began to really question the News Media when North Korea launched that missile into the sky, and the report they provided was of questionable level. In fact, I was skeptical to believe the report and story provided. It was the first time I was actually concerned of National Security from the West Coast the fact that neither the State Department nor the Media Networks were reliable, accurate, or truthful on the launch itself and the implications of it. Hillary Clinton stated the missile "fizzled" over the Pacific Ocean during the test. The State of the Union 3 begins with President Obama's first State of the Union speech setting his agenda the next four years for the American Economy. The State of the Union 3 addresses the current Economic Policies that have changed the landscape of business in the United States. http://Twitter.com/JamesCalTustin

Book Synopsis Patriotic Envelopes of the Civil War by : Steven R. Boyd
Download or read book Patriotic Envelopes of the Civil War written by Steven R. Boyd and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Civil War, private printers in both the North and South produced a vast array of envelopes featuring iconography designed to promote each side's war effort. Many of these "covers" featured depictions of soldiers, prominent political leaders, Union or Confederate flags, Miss Liberty, Martha Washington, or even runaway slaves -- at least fifteen thousand pro-Union and two hundred fifty pro-Confederate designs appeared between 1861 and 1865. In Patriotic Envelopes of the Civil War, the first book-length analysis of these covers, Steven R. Boyd explores their imagery to understand what motivated soldiers and civilians to support a war far more protracted and destructive than anyone anticipated in 1861. Northern envelopes, Boyd shows, typically document the centrality of the preservation of the Union as the key issue that, if unsuccessful, would lead to the destruction of United States, its Constitution, and its way of life. Confederate covers, by contrast, usually illustrate a competing vision of an independent republic free of the "tyranny" of the United States. Each side's flags and presidents symbolize these two rival viewpoints. Images of presidents Davis and Lincoln, often portrayed as contestants in a boxing match, personalized the contest and served to rally citizens to the cause of southern independence or national preservation. In the course of depicting the events of the period, printers also revealed the impact of the war on females and African Americans. Some envelopes, for example, featured women on the home front engaging in a variety of patriotic tasks that would have been almost unthinkable before the war. African Americans, on the other hand, became far more visible in American popular culture, especially in the North, where Union printers showed them pursuing their own liberation from southern slavery. With more than 180 full-color illustrations, Patriotic Envelopes of the Civil War is a nuanced and fascinating examination of Civil War iconography that moves a previously overlooked source from the periphery of scholarly awareness into the ongoing analysis of America's greatest tragedy.

Book Synopsis You, the People by : Vanessa B. Beasley
Download or read book You, the People written by Vanessa B. Beasley and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2011-11-07 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New in paperback As we ask anew in these troubled times what it means to be an American, You, the People provides perspective by casting its eye over the answers given by past U.S. presidents in their addresses to the public. Who is an American, and who is not? And yet, as Vanessa Beasley demonstrates in this eloquent exploration of a century of presidential speeches, the questions are not new. Since the Founders first identified the nation as “we, the people,” the faces and accents of U.S. citizens have changed dramatically due to immigration and other constitutive changes. U.S. presidents have often spoken as if there were one monolithic American people. Here Beasley traces rhetorical constructions of American national identity in presidents’ inaugural addresses and state of the union messages from 1885 through 2000. She argues convincingly that while the demographics of the voting citizenry changed rapidly during this period, presidential definitions of American national identity did not. Chief executives have consistently employed a rhetoric of American nationalism that is simultaneously inclusive and exclusive; Beasley examines both the genius and the limitations of this language.
Book Synopsis The Gettysburg Address by : Abraham Lincoln
Download or read book The Gettysburg Address written by Abraham Lincoln and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2009-08-27 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Address was delivered at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on the afternoon of Thursday, November 19, 1863, during the American Civil War, four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the decisive Battle of Gettysburg. In just over two minutes, Lincoln invoked the principles of human equality espoused by the Declaration of Independence and redefined the Civil War as a struggle not merely for the Union, but as "a new birth of freedom" that would bring true equality to all of its citizens, and that would also create a unified nation in which states' rights were no longer dominant. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

Book Synopsis Stalin's Genocides by : Norman M. Naimark
Download or read book Stalin's Genocides written by Norman M. Naimark and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-19 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chilling story of Stalin’s crimes against humanity Between the early 1930s and his death in 1953, Joseph Stalin had more than a million of his own citizens executed. Millions more fell victim to forced labor, deportation, famine, bloody massacres, and detention and interrogation by Stalin's henchmen. Stalin's Genocides is the chilling story of these crimes. The book puts forward the important argument that brutal mass killings under Stalin in the 1930s were indeed acts of genocide and that the Soviet dictator himself was behind them. Norman Naimark, one of our most respected authorities on the Soviet era, challenges the widely held notion that Stalin's crimes do not constitute genocide, which the United Nations defines as the premeditated killing of a group of people because of their race, religion, or inherent national qualities. In this gripping book, Naimark explains how Stalin became a pitiless mass killer. He looks at the most consequential and harrowing episodes of Stalin's systematic destruction of his own populace—the liquidation and repression of the so-called kulaks, the Ukrainian famine, the purge of nationalities, and the Great Terror—and examines them in light of other genocides in history. In addition, Naimark compares Stalin's crimes with those of the most notorious genocidal killer of them all, Adolf Hitler.
