    File: Schulten web preprint Created on: 1/29/2009 9:52:00 AM Last Printed: 1/31/2009 2:13:00 PM BARACK OBAMA, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, AND JOHN DEWEY SUSAN SCHULTEN In the last few months, there has been a spate of comparisons be- tween Obama and some of our most influential former presidents. Just days after the election, Congress announced the theme of the inaugura- tion as “A New Birth of Freedom,” while reporters and commentators speculate about “A New New Deal” or “Lincoln 2.0.”1 Many of these comparisons are situational: Obama is a relatively inexperienced lawyer- turned-politician who will inherit two wars and an economic crisis un- equalled since the Great Depression.2 The backlash has been equally vocal. Many consider these com- parisons both premature and presumptuous, evidence that the media is sympathetic toward an Obama Administration or that the President-elect has himself orchestrated these connections.3 Indeed, Obama frequently invoked Lincoln as both a model for and an influence over his own can- didacy, which he launched on the steps of the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois. He introduced Vice-President Joe Biden in the same spot, where the latter also referenced the memory of Lincoln.4 Cer- tainly it makes sense for Obama to exploit Lincoln’s legacy, for no other figure in American history continues to command such admiration, the occasional neo-Confederate or other detractor notwithstanding.5 To posi- tion Obama in front of the State House is surely meant to place him as a kind of an heir to Lincoln.

  • Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Discussion Paper Series
    Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Discussion Paper Series #D-64, June 2011 Disengaged: Elite Media in a Vernacular Nation1 By Bob Calo Shorenstein Center Fellow, Spring 2011 Graduate School of Journalism, UC Berkeley © 2011 President and Fellows of Harvard College. All rights reserved. Journalists, by and large, regard the “crisis” as something that happened to them, and not anything they did. It was the Internet that jumbled the informational sensitivities of their readers, corporate ownership that raised suspicions about our editorial motives, the audience itself that lacked the education or perspective to appreciate the work. Yet, 40 years of polling is clear about one thing: The decline in trust and the uneasiness of the audience with the profession and its product started well before technology began to shred the conventions of the media. In 1976, 72% of Americans expressed confidence in the news. Everyone knows the dreary trend line from that year onward: an inexorable decline over the decades.2 And if we fail to examine our part in the collapse of trust, no amount of digital re-imagining or niche marketing is going to restore our desired place in the public conversation. Ordinary working people no longer see media as a partner in their lives but part of the noise that intrudes on their lives. People will continue to muddle through: voting or not voting, caring or not caring, but many of them are doing it, as they once did, without the companionship of the press. Now elites and partisans don’t have this problem, there are niches aplenty for them.

  • In the Shadow of General Marshall-Old Soldiers in The
    In The Shadow of General Marshall: Old Soldiers in the Executive Branch Ryan Edward Guiberson Anaconda, Montana Bachelor of Science, United States Air Force Academy, 1992 Master of Arts-Political Science, University of Florida, 1994 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Politics University of Virginia August, 2013 2 Abstract: The usurpation of political authority by tyrannical military figures is a theme that pervades the history of politics. The United States has avoided such an occurrence and the prospect of a military coup d’etat rarely registers as a realistic concern in American politics. Despite the unlikelihood of this classic form of military usurpation, other more insidious forms lurk and must be guarded against to protect civilian control of the military. One potential manifestation has been referred to as a military colonization of the executive branch. This form implies that retired senior military officers increasingly pursue executive branch positions and unduly promote the interests of the active duty military, its leaders, and military solutions to national security issues. This work addresses military colonization claims by examining the number of retired senior military officers that have served in executive branch positions, trends in where they participate, and their political behavior in these positions. It also uses interviews with retired senior military officers to gain their perspectives on the incentives and disincentives of executive branch service. The study concludes that in the post-Cold War period, participation rates of retired senior military officers in key executive branch positions do not diverge significantly from broader post-World War II patterns.

They gave us the world their honest opinion. It appears that there were not weapons of mass destruction. MCGOVERN: You said you knew where they were. RUMSFELD: I did not. I said I knew where suspect sites were. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) OLBERMANN: No, he literally said he knew where they were. Protesters in Atlanta, including that former CIA analyst, cut Rumsfeld to ribbons today, using only his own words. The political gloves have come of. What came off in the Duke Cunningham scandal?

TRACING THE STEPS IN A HISTORIC ELECTION JEFFREY M. CHEMERINSKYt & KIMBERLY C. KISABETHtt "Well, the 2008 presidentialrace turns out to be turning a spotlight on questions about race and what Americans reallyfeel inside."1 INTRODUCTION What does it mean to have an African-American president? What did it mean to have an African-American effectively competing for and receiving the Democratic nomination and then ultimately vying for the presidency? Would race or racism determine the outcome of the election? Questions of race and its effects appeared throughout the 2008 presidential campaign in numerous forms, whether they be predictive- trying to forecast what impact race would have on the election-or rhetorical-in the candidate's or their surrogate's speeches or advertisements by the candidates or their surrogates where race was a common theme even if not overtly mentioned. The primary campaign season-in which Barack Obama faced a crowded field in contention for the Democratic nomination-featured then-Senator Joseph Biden's comment that Obama was "the first mainstream African-American [candidate for the United States presidency] who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy;''2 accusations of racism against former-President Bill Clinton for his inflammatory comments; Reverend Jeremiah Wright's infamous sermon; and Obama's electrifying speech on race in America.
