  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2014 Remarks on the Nomination Of
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2014 Remarks on the Nomination of Maria Contreras-Sweet To Be Administrator of the Small Business Administration January 15, 2014 Please have a seat. Thank you so much. Well, welcome to the White House. And I am pleased to be joined by many of the people on the frontlines when it comes to creating jobs and new opportunities: America's small-business owners. And I want to thank all of them for the hard work and the sacrifice of these entrepreneurs, as well as the workers and the families across the country that have helped us pull ourselves out of one of the worst recessions in our history. Now what we're seeing is businesses having created more than 8 million new jobs since we hit bottom. Manufacturing is growing, led by a booming auto industry. Our investments have helped bring about new technologies, more affordable energy, and are slowing health care costs, all of which are making America even more attractive for investors. And we're starting to see a lot of the jobs that had left our shores in manufacturing, for example, starting to come back, because we put ourselves in a much more competitive position. And so all the pieces are there to bring back even more new jobs to America this year, but it's not going to happen by itself. This has to be a year of action. We've got to keep our economy growing. We've got to make sure that our working families are sharing in growth and increasing success.

  • Examining Spillover Priming Effects from a Network Perspective
    COME A LITTLE CLOSER: EXAMINING SPILLOVER PRIMING EFFECTS FROM A NETWORK PERSPECTIVE David Thomas Morin A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2013 Committee: Gi Woong Yun, Ph.D., Advisor Mary M. Murray, Ed.D. Graduate Faculty Representative Sung-Yeon Park, Ph.D. Srinivas Melkote, Ph.D. ii © 2013 David Thomas Morin All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Gi Woong Yun, Advisor Priming theory has been well researched within the field of media studies. Since the late 1980s, priming theory has been used to explain a host of media effects related phenomena. Although priming is one of the most robust theories in media studies, scant research has been paid to spillover/indirect priming effects. Traditional media priming studies examine how primes affect individual evaluations of presidents, but none to date have attempted to examine how individuals perceive little-known political officials via strong or weak ties to a president. To address this glaring gap in the literature, a 3X2 online experiment, manipulating prime valence and tie strength, was conducted. More specifically, a news transcript was manipulated to portray the educational issue, Race to the Top, in either a positive, negative, or neutral tone, with President Obama being portrayed as responsible for the issue. A newspaper article was manipulated to portray a fictional congressional candidate named Steve Easterly as either strongly or weakly tied to President Obama. After exposure to the primes, participants were asked to answer a series of items measuring attitude evaluations and voting intent towards both President Obama and Steve Easterly in a post-test questionnaire.

Of course, they’ve also asked for the story for the next issue, which means delivering it on Tuesday.

  • Pre-Inaugural Nominee Announcements: Trump-Clinton
    PRE-INAUGURAL NOMINEE ANNOUNCEMENTS: TRUMP-CLINTON Melanie Geller Drew Flanagan ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT The last four presidents announced 115 nominees for Senate-confirmed positions prior to taking office. Among these, 71, including 49 out of 56 Cabinet nominees, received pre-inauguration hearings.1 Only eight nominations by four presidents were withdrawn. This document contains tables listing each announcement sorted by president, along with key dates and speed of confirmation for each nominee. Secretaries of the 15 Cabinet departments are denoted in boldface. Preceding each table is a supplementary narrative discussing events and influences that affected each transition team and their pre- inaugural nominations. Summary • The Trump transition team announced 29 nominees during the transition period from election to inauguration, and the Senate confirmed 26. Fifteen nominees received pre-inaugural hearings. For a variety of reasons, including vetting, paperwork, controversy and a high number of procedural votes, the Trump nominees took much longer than the nominees of other presidents. The Senate confirmed Trump’s Cabinet secretaries in 23.9 days, on average. • The Obama transition team announced 42 nominees, including Secretary of Defense Gates, who stayed on from the George W. Bush administration. Twenty-five received pre-inaugural hearings. Obama’s Cabinet secretaries were confirmed in an average of 4.9 days. • Even with a truncated transition, the George W. Bush transition team announced 20 nominees during the transition, including Director of the CIA George Tenet, who remained in his position. Fourteen received pre-inaugural hearings. The Senate confirmed all except for one in about 3 days and confirmed Cabinet secretaries in 1.6 days, on average.
