Warren Harding, 29th president of the United States, was known as one of the worst presidents ever. Despite this common belief, Harding made many great accomplishments while in office. According to the Barber article, the type of characteristic that fits Harding the best is passive-positive. His attitude towards many of the things he did was almost always positive. However, Harding served with a divided government, which made it challenging for some of his main policy ideas to pass. Harding also had a very difficult staff working with him. Their scandalous and inappropriate behavior made Harding’s job as president difficult. He would often go along with what they wanted, instead of using his power to get things done the way he had planned. He lacked the authoritative power that his position granted him.…

When Barbers typology is applied it leads to generalized predictions of behavior and style in…
It is ambiguous as to how President Barrack Obama shapes our politics in terms of our political regime, but it can be determined through the present outcomes of his leadership today. In The Politics Presidents Make, by Stephen Skowronek, describes that there is a life-cycle of inaugurated presidents through the history of the United States. A political regime is defined as a full cycle of presidents that induce change in our politics until it is repeated again. Through this, it is possible to determine where President Obama would stand in our political time. Skowronek also mentions four leadership categories in which past presidents are placed in: politics of reconstruction, politics of disjunction, politics of articulation, and politics of pre-emption. In order to place President Obama into this spectrum, it is important to understand how President George W. Bush shaped our politics during his presidential period. This being said, President Obama would be part of the politics of reconstruction after evaluating his current actions as president today.…
Presidential candidates tweak their political formats and focuses depending on a scientific study of American’s interests in different demographics. This scientific process is studied by one company called Spectrum who specializes in electoral demographics. During the study this company examines “voting patterns of people based on their similarities and differences” (Spectrum). The information this company provides includes ways to look at the voter profiles, demographic poll maps, and ad targets. These resources are utilized by the candidates to take the concerns and interests for desired areas and make them their focus when targeting the specific audience. Spectrum states: “Understanding the electoral demographics can help you [candidates] target your [candidates] time and resources most effectively.” To candidates this means no wasting time or money placing ads in demographics that will not get them votes according to the data provided.…

42) - which both played a tremendous role in the overall conflict. After all, whenever the Ritual Chair started being more-so respected than the President, the President became anxious about her position of authority and enabled her anxiety to dictate irrational actions such as going out of her way to make sure the Ritual Chair did not become the next President. Likewise, the President started to deal with aggression as she engaged in displacement tendencies as she directed her aggression toward more vulnerable targets such as yelling at the chapter’s newest members without leadership positions (Folger, Poole, & Stutman, 2013, p. 43). At this point, however, it seems as though the President still needs to better understand her own unconscious motivations and underscores in order for her to gain insight behind the driving forces of her behavior (Folger, Poole, & Stutman, 2013, p.…
Honesty is another strong characteristic that makes up a good president. Abraham Lincoln was known to be so honest he was given the nickname honest Abe. Many people know that fact but many do not know why. Before he was elected president is when Lincoln earned the nickname; he was working as a store clerk and if he ever shorthanded a customer he would close shop and walk however far no matter what to deliver the right change(Burlingame 1). This later led to people "[recognizing] his integrity and [people] were soon asking him to act as a judge or a mediator in various contests, fights, and arguments"(Burlingame 1). This is a good characteristic as president because it gains trust for the people supporting and to Lincoln that was important. He used his honesty throughout his term, he used it when explaining to his commanders and also when dealing with politics. By being so honest shows that he was the best president, the people he was leading rusted him and his actions making it easier to win the war an making…
