The George W. Bush Presidency: An Early AssessmentBetween his inauguration and September 11, 2001, George W. Bush's presidency appeared to lack focus. The rhetoric of the campaign trail did not readily translate into concrete policies and a closely divided Congress restrained executive action. The terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, however, changed all of that. In their aftermath, Bush emerged as a strong, decisive leader with a deep sense of purpose and certainty that inspired many Americans, even as it alienated much of the rest of the world. In The George W. Bush Presidency: An Early Assessment, noted presidential scholar Fred I. Greenstein brings together a distinguished group of political scientists to consider the first two-and-a-half years of the George W. Bush presidency, from his leadership style and political ethos to his budgetary and foreign policies to his relationship with Congress, the electorate, and the American public. This balanced and timely volume concludes with an invaluable insider's view of the president and his administration by John J. DiIulio, the first Director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. Contributors: Richard A. Brody, Ivo Daalder, John J. Dilulio, Jr., John Fortier, Hugh Heclo, Karen M. Hult, Gary Jacobson, Charles O. Jones, James Lindsay, Norman Ornstein, and Allen Schick |

race for the Senate, delighting in the camaraderie and ballyhoo of campaign
politics.
The sale coincided with the initial stage of his father's efforts to become the 1988
Republican presidential nominee. Bush moved his family to Washington and
became co-director, along with the veteran political consultant Lee Atwater, of his

... theory that had informed the huge tax cut of Ronald Reagan's first year in the
White House, a doctrine that his father had once derided as “voodoo economics”
for its premise that tax cuts pay for themselves by stimulating economic growth.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, for example, left much to be desired as a husband and
father, but there was a superb fit between his emotions and the demands he
faced as president. What is critical for a president's emotional intelligence is that
