Received 9 December, 2008; Accepted 1 September, 2009 In August 2008 the 47-year-old Barack Hussein Obama was elected by the U.S. Democratic National Convention as its nominee for President of the United States. This was the first time an African- American had ever been nominated to this office. It was a momentous and revolutionary event. The bright African-American orphan son of a bright but tragic Kenyan father, who had died in a tragic car accident in 1982 in Kenya, after losing his career and his legs and struggling with alcoholism, and of a bright white mother who had died of cancer in 1995, was nominated for the highest office in the world’s mightiest country. Soon Obama was leading in most public-opinion polls as the candidate most likely to become President, with a 10-point lead over John McCain, the Republican candidate. On November 4 he was elected President of the United States, the first African-American president in U.S. history. There had been nothing quite like this in U.S. history. On January 20, 2009 Barack Obama became the 44th president of the United States. Key words: Barrack Obama, CSV qualities, psychoanalytic knowledge, culture. INTRODUCTION There are numerous schools in psychology, psychiatry by the vast majority of cultures and throughout history, and psychoanalysis.

  • The Obama Presidency Can Barack Obama Deliver the Change He Promises? 12 Kenneth Jost and the CQ Researcher Staff
    The Obama Presidency Can Barack Obama Deliver the Change He Promises? 12 Kenneth Jost and the CQ Researcher Staff hey came to Washington in numbers unprecedented and with enthusiasm unbounded to bear witness and be a part T of history: the inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama on Jan. 20, 2009, as the 44th president of the United States and the first African-American ever to serve as the nation’s chief executive. After taking the oath of office from Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., Obama looked out at the estimated 1.8 million people massed at the Capitol and National Mall and delivered an inaugu- ral address nearly as bracing as the subfreezing temperatures. With hardly the hint of a smile, Obama, 47, outlined the chal- lenges confronting him as the fifth-youngest president in U.S. his- tory. The nation is at war, he noted, the economy “badly weakened” and the public beset with “a sapping of confidence.” “Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real,” Obama continued in his 18-minute speech. “They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met.”1 (See economy sidebar, AP Photo/Evan Vucci p. 286; foreign policy sidebar, p. 292.) The largest crowd in Washington history cheers President Barack Obama after his swearing in on The crowd received Obama’s sobering message with flag-waving Jan. 20, 2009.

  • Barack Obama and World Peace, a Rhetorical Inquiry
    BARACK OBAMA AND WORLD PEACE, A RHETORICAL INQUIRY A Thesis by Samuel Onyenachi Nze Bachelor of Science, Imo State University, 2005 Submitted to the Department of Communication and the faculty of the Graduate School of Wichita State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts May 2010 ! © Copyright 2010 by Samuel Onyenachi Nze All Rights Reserved ! ! BARACK OBAMA AND WORLD PEACE, A RHETORICAL INQUIRY The following faculty members have examined the final copy of this thesis for form and content, and recommend that it be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts with a major in Communication. ___________________________________ Richard N Armstrong, Chair ___________________________________ Jeffrey Jarman, Committee Member ___________________________________ Randolph Ellsworth, Committee Member """! ! ABSTRACT The thesis, entitled Barack Obama and World Peace: A Rhetorical Inquiry, is a qualitative research paper that appraises President Obama's commitment to global peace, through a thematic analysis of a cross section of his speeches. Against the background of Mr. Obama's receipt of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, the thesis evaluates in five chapters Mr. Obama's merit as an icon of global peace by seeking a possible rhetorical vision of peace emerging from a cross section of his speeches, and consequently establishing a possible justification for his receipt of the Nobel Prize, using the Fantasy-theme method of rhetorical criticism. The thesis concludes that there is a rhetorical vision of peace emerging from a cross section of President Obama's speeches, and that he may consequently be called an icon of global peace, deserving of having won the Nobel Prize.

    Review Essay The President’s Mother the Anthropologist and the Anthropologist’s Son: Anthropological Issues and US President Obama The Manufacturing of a President: The CIA’s Insertion of Barack H. Obama, Jr. into the White House. Wayne Madsen, Raleigh, North Carolina: Lulu Press, 2012, ISBN: 978-1478260646, xviii + 377 pp. Pb: $20.00. David Lempert ABSTRACT: Barack Obama was the fi rst son of a PhD anthropologist to serve as President of the United States, and some popular press linked his political views and actions, which were allegedly in violation of international law, to failures in American anthropology to uphold in- ternational law as well as to personal failures by anthropologists to transmit the professional ethics of the discipline to their off spring. This essay examines those critiques and identifi es defi ciencies in anthropological presentations of ‘multiculturalism’ and in anthropology’s ad- herence to international law. It also reviews the cultural self-identifi cation of President Obama, drawing att ention to the sub-cultures of ‘expat’ communities like those in which President Obama was raised and in which many practising anthropologists and their children live. KEYWORDS: cultural rights, ethics, expatriate community, international law, multiculturalism, Obama family Recent books from both outside and inside our dis- the socialisation of children resulting from this collu- cipline link anthropology directly to policies of the sion, which is exemplifi ed by the career and policies former US President Barack Obama1, whose mother of Barack Obama, whom he identifi es by his various was an anthropologist, as well as his half-sister.
