president obama
I believe that President Obama is doing a great job in his job performance within his term. Obama is trying to secure an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement to encourage the end to a long conflict. He is trying to make a better relationship with Iran in hope of ending the nuclear program. President Obama is trying to fix our relationship with China. He thinks the relationship with China will shape the
21st century. He states about the climate change “Neither profits from a growing dependence on foreign oil, nor can we share our people from the ravages of climate change unless we cooperate.” He also talks about the nuclear weapons.
He states “the more nations acquire these weapons, the more they will be used.”
I agree with him 100%. Although things are going alright with Obama’s relationship with Iran and China, Obamas relationship with Russia has hit a wall.
The biggest difference that is centered around of Syria, an ally of Russia. Obama isn’t going to give up though. He states “Where we’ve got differences, we should be candid about them, try to manage those differences but not sugarcoat them.

Although Obama is doing alright with his relationship with the nations, I can not say the same about his relationship with Congress. Congress thinks Obama’s congressional dealing are similar to those of Richard Nixon. Obama’s primary goal is a political win on higher tax rates, and his chief tactic to achieve these is not negotiations with congress, but a public campaign away from them. Obama has always felt more comfortable relying on his leverage with the electorate than his connection with congress. There are five factors that could complicate the ability of Obama and a GOP congressional majority to work together. They are State
Level Races, compromising the number of true believing Tea Party Candidates elected to the new congress, the 12er’s, which is presidential candidates,
Healthcare’s prognosis, and overdoing

In 2002, Bush declared Iran as an “axis of evil,” this angered Iran. That same year, it was revealed that Iran is developing nuclear facilities. During a phone call between the Presidents of the U.S. and Iran, the men expressed their desire to end the long running dispute between the two nations.

    According to Neustadt, a president’s professional reputation rests in the expectations of political players. These players include politicians, military officers, heads of industry, foreign officials, and members of the media. Neustadt refers to these political actors collectively as the Washington Community. Influencing this Community is a key aspect of the President’s job. The Community’s perceptions of a president’s likely response to their actions guides which course they take. As such “what other men expect of [the President] becomes a cardinal factor in the President’s own power to persuade.” Consistency and communication are key to maintaining a professional reputation. Neustadt argues that political actors are constantly attempting to anticipate the abilities and will of the president to use said abilities. A president cannot assert influence on an actor that believes them weak or without bargaining ability as the actor does not view the president as likely to assert strong power or able to deliver on bargain…

    Ahmadinejad is cautious with the Obama proposal. He sees the move as a public relations move by America to absolve them of any fault. This is to the extent that if Iran does not agree to Obama 's terms, then, America is justified in issuing stricter sanctions (Nick, 2009)…

    Bush signed a $1.35 trillion tax cut into law. Although the amount falls short of the $1.60 trillion the administration has been seeking, the bill does slash income tax rates across the board and provides for the gradual elimination of the estate tax. American voters did not think that President Bush cared enough about domestic issues. Some say Bush did not "selling" his achievements more successfully and running an inept campaign in 1992. He alienated the more conservative wing of the Republican Party in a variety of ways including breaking his promise not to raise taxes and cutting military…
