Download or read book The Hillary Effect written by Taylor Marsh and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning nearly two decades of American politics, The Hillary Effect is the provocative and insightful story of the first viable female presidential candidate in history to win a primary and do so in spite of her campaign team’s mistakes. It addresses the galvanizing impact that her loss represented for both women and men, in and out of Washington. And it revolves around media coverage that treated her differently as first lady, senator, and then presidential candidate—not only because she was a woman, but because she was Hillary Clinton. Candidly written by veteran political analyst Taylor Marsh, this is the view from a recovering partisan, someone whom the Washington Post called a “die hard Clintonite” in its profile of Hillary in 2008. The Hillary Effect began when Hillary, as first lady, dared to challenge China’s treatment of women. A countless number of women have benefited and will benefit from her presidential loss, the most famous of these being Sarah Palin (the Tea Party queen of 2010 and first female on a national Republican presidential ticket), who weaves throughout this story as the anti-Hillary. The Hillary Effect also sees Michele Bachmann as a player, as the first Republican female to win a straw poll, primary, or caucus. The male leads in this stunning tale are Bill Clinton and President Barack Obama (someone who turned out to be very different from candidate Obama), with David Plouffe and Mark Penn making appearances. The story includes a host of media personalities and their outlets, but also new-media and progressive voices, and famous names like Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Sally Quinn, the late Tim Russert, Richard Wolffe, Laura Ingraham, Liz Cheney, Peggy Noonan, Maureen Dowd, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and even Bill O’Reilly, who offered Hillary the best interview she would do during the 2008 season. All of this is seen through the economic and political crises of today—health care, women’s individual freedoms, Afghanistan, women’s rise around the world, the debt-ceiling debate, tax cuts for the wealthy, Occupy Wall Street, and an American public disenchanted with both Republicans and Democrats.

Download or read book The Postmodern Presidency written by Steven E. Schier and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2012-02-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Choice Outstanding Academic Book. As America’s first truly postmodern president, Bill Clinton experienced both great highs and stunning lows in office that will shape the future course of American politics. Clinton will forever be remembered as the first elected president to be impeached, but will his tarnished legacy have lasting effects on America’s political system? Including the conflict in Kosovo, the World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle, and new developments in the 2000 presidential campaign, The Postmodern Presidency is the most comprehensive and current assessment of Bill Clinton’s presidency available in print. The Postmodern Presidency examines Clinton’s role in redefining the institution of the presidency, and his affect on future presidents’ economic and foreign policies. The contributors highlight the president’s unprecedented courtship of public opinion; how polls affected policy; how the president gained “celebrity” status; how Clinton’s “postmodern” style of public presidency helped him survive the 1994 elections and impeachment; and how all of this might impact future presidents. This new text also demonstrates how the Clinton presidency changed party politics in the public and in Congress, with long-term implications and costs to both Republicans and his own Democratic party, while analyzing Clinton’s effect on the 1990s “culture wars,” the politics and importance of gender, and the politics and policy of race. This text is a must for anyone who studies, teaches, or has an interest in the American presidency and politics.

Download or read book The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order written by Gary Gerstle and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most sweeping account of how neoliberalism came to dominate American politics for nearly a half century before crashing against the forces of Trumpism on the right and a new progressivism on the left. The epochal shift toward neoliberalism--a web of related policies that, broadly speaking, reduced the footprint of government in society and reassigned economic power to private market forces--that began in the United States and Great Britain in the late 1970s fundamentally changed the world. Today, the word "neoliberal" is often used to condemn a broad swath of policies, from prizing free market principles over people to advancing privatization programs in developing nations around the world. To be sure, neoliberalism has contributed to a number of alarming trends, not least of which has been a massive growth in income inequality. Yet as the eminent historian Gary Gerstle argues in The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order, these indictments fail to reckon with the full contours of what neoliberalism was and why its worldview had such persuasive hold on both the right and the left for three decades. As he shows, the neoliberal order that emerged in America in the 1970s fused ideas of deregulation with personal freedoms, open borders with cosmopolitanism, and globalization with the promise of increased prosperity for all. Along with tracing how this worldview emerged in America and grew to dominate the world, Gerstle explores the previously unrecognized extent to which its triumph was facilitated by the collapse of the Soviet Union and its communist allies. He is also the first to chart the story of the neoliberal order's fall, originating in the failed reconstruction of Iraq and Great Recession of the Bush years and culminating in the rise of Trump and a reinvigorated Bernie Sanders-led American left in the 2010s. An indispensable and sweeping re-interpretation of the last fifty years, this book illuminates how the ideology of neoliberalism became so infused in the daily life of an era, while probing what remains of that ideology and its political programs as America enters an uncertain future.

Download or read book Hustler written by Joseph Sobran and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-10 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Syndicated columnist, Joseph Sobran wrote extensively during Bill Clinton''s presidency, detailing many of the scandals and shady dealing of those years. Hustler: The Clinton Legacy is a priceless recounting of Bill and Hillary''s reign in the White House. Luckily for the Clintons, people have short memories. And since more than 20 years have gone by, younger folks have no recollection of those Clinton years. That''s why FGF Books, the publishing imprint of the Fitzgerald Griffin Foundation, which owns the copyrights to all of Mr. Sobran''s columns, decided to bring out a second edition of this important book now.Here are some of the misdeeds and nefarious activities of the Clintons discussed in "Hustler": -- "FileGate": when Bill and Hillary illegally obtained many FBI files of their enemies -- the Whitewater scandal -- that fact that Bill used Arkansas state troopers to procure women for parking lot trysts -- First Feminist Hillary trying to foist a comprehensive universal national health care system on the U.S. in 1993 -- that the Clintons were loathed by much of the public for their greed, opportunism, fanaticism, glad-handing. bullying, and hypocrisy during their eight years in the White House --that Bill Clinton was the first president to "make the sexual revolution part of the conscious program, promoting abortion, homosex, feminism, and the rest, and even weaving them into the system of entitlements." --that Clinton understood with perfect lucidity that "civil rights" has become nothing more than a group spoils systemThis book provides a penetrating and insightful analysis of the nature and personality of our 42nd president. For example:"Americans have been taught to expect their presidents to be great men: men of substance, courage, eloquence, and dignity. Clinton hasnone of these qualities and hardly pretends to have them. ... He is nothing but a skilled political specialist, a charmingly unscrupulous improviser, possessing all the currently necessary arts of raising money, wooing important power blocs, and getting elected". Every essay in this book adds to one''s knowledge of the character of Bill Clinton. Joe calls Clinton "The Sex President." While he is probably the only one to be that blunt about it (other than perhaps Ann Coulter, who wrote the Foreword to the book), he wrote, humorously: "Another thing nobody has ever said is this: ''Bill Clinton is innocent. Let''s hear those tapes. Let''s hear the testimony of Monica Lewinsky, Betty Currie, the Secret Service, the Chinese lobbyists, and let the chips fall where they may. The full truth will vindicate the president and confute his accusers.''""Co-president" Hillary does not escape Sobran''s critique. He writes: "Hillary became the most powerful and unpopular first lady in history. And it wasn''t long before she also generated her own scandals. ...It comes as a kind of relief to find she''s made of the same stuff as her husband. Her fanaticism has never gotten in the way of her profit."Sobran foresaw clearly the failings and ramifications of Clinton''s foreign policy which increased the involvement of the U.S. in the Middle East. In 1997, he wrote: "How many enemies do we want? We have the power to make an unlimited number, provoking terrorist retaliation in the short run and who knows what in years to come. ... If, one day soon, one of these bombs is detonated in Washington, New York, St. Louis, or Seattle, we''ll pay dearly not only for Bill Clinton''s sins, but for our politicians'' fifty-year habit of ...sacrificing America''s interests to Israel. The shock will dwarf the memory of Pearl Harbor." Alas, he was correct in his prediction.The Clintons aren''t about to change their character. But will enough Americans catch on to them to drive them eventually into oblivion? It is the hope and prayer of FGF Books that some of the insights in this book will illuminate the minds and hearts of our fellow citizens as to the true nature of the Clintons.

Download or read book The Presidency and the Law written by David Gray Adler and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political scandals have always demonstrated the capacity of our executive officials for self-inflicted injuries, and the Clinton administration was no exception. Unilateral warmaking, claims of executive privilege and immunity, and last-minute pardons all tested the limits of presidential power, while the excesses of the Special Prosecutor cast doubts on available remedies. For eight years, Republicans and Democrats engaged in guerrilla warfare aimed at destroying the careers and lives of their adversaries while tests of presidential power were resolved by the courts, resulting in a reshaping of the scope and power of the presidency itself. This book examines the many controversial and important battles that led to the shrinking of the presidency under the law during the Clinton administration. Located at the intersection of law and politics, it helps readers understand the dramatic changes that took place in the relationship of presidential power to the law during the Clinton years and shows how one president's actions—and congressional and legal reactions to them—have altered presidential prerogatives in ways that his successors cannot ignore. The Presidency and the Law offers an assessment of changes in constitutional and legal understanding of the American presidency, exploring such topics as war power, executive privilege, pardon power, impeachment, executive immunity, independent counsel, and campaign finance. In examining these collisions between president and the law, its distinguished contributors bring the lessons of Watergate and Iran-Contra into the Clinton era and contribute to a Madisonian view that presidents should not operate outside statutory and constitutional constraints. While the essays offer several criticisms of that administration's exercise of power and its interpretation of constitutional provisions and law, many of the authors have been supportive of Clinton and his policy pursuits, and all seek to examine the potential impact of the Clinton administration without being predictive or legalistic. They offer instead commentary, analysis, and criticism that examine the legality and constitutionality of President Clinton's actions within a broader political and historical context. The presidency is constitutionally weaker and politically more vulnerable than the office Bill Clinton assumed in 1993, and it remains to be seen what impact these changes will have on the presidency in the 21st century. This book points the way to assessing that impact, and is essential reading for anyone concerned with the future of our democracy.

Download or read book The Clintons written by Charles River Editors and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Covers the remarkable lives of the Clintons in one educational and entertaining narrative. *Includes pictures of Bill, Hillary, and other important people, places, and events in their lives. "Sometime in my sixteenth year, I decided I wanted to be in public life as an elected official. I loved music and thought I could be very good, but I knew I would never be John Coltrane or Stan Getz. I was interested in medicine and thought I could be a fine doctor, but I knew I would never be Michael DeBakey. But I knew I could be great in public service." – Bill Clinton “I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession which I entered before my husband was in public life.” – Hillary Clinton It would be impossible to sum up the life and legacy of Bill Clinton in one sentence or even one paragraph, as the former president represents many different things to many different people. Indeed, the yin and yang of Clinton's life and career are inescapable. Widely hailed as the greatest politician of his era, Clinton proved to be his own worst enemy, creating unnecessary scandals through his womanizing. Clinton was one of the first politicians to truly connect with young adults, yet in the process he provided ludicrous soundbytes like “I did not inhale.” Long considered the Democratic Party's greatest spokesman and surrogate, Clinton's presidency was defined by centrist “triangulation”. And though he is still publicly popular and considered a great president, Clinton became just the second president to be impeached in the House of Representatives. Regardless of what Americans think of him, one thing Clinton does represent is the American Dream. Born to a single mother in Hope, Arkansas, Clinton used his ambition, hard work and intelligence to become a Rhodes scholar. As a teenager, a meeting with President Kennedy helped drive him toward politics, which he pursued after getting his law degree at Yale, where he met future wife Hillary Rodham. During the presidential campaign in 1992, Democratic challenger Bill Clinton announced that by voting for him, Americans would get two presidents “for the price of one.” The reference to his wife Hillary signified that she would be no ordinary First Lady, and indeed she was employed frequently by her husband in the White House to try to push legislation through Congress, most notably universal healthcare. While that proved to be one of the Clinton Administration's greatest failures, Hillary and her staff continued to act as a political surrogate for the president during his two terms. Of course, describing Hillary Clinton as just a First Lady belittles all of her accomplishments. Today she is the most powerful woman in the world and one of the most recognizable, working so seamlessly with her former rival Barack Obama that her popularity has easily eclipsed his within a year of his victory over her in the Democratic primaries. In addition to the stirring Democratic primaries of 2008, Hillary was a U.S. Senator from New York for nearly 8 years before becoming Obama's Secretary of State. Recognized as one of the sharpest minds in Washington and a complete policy wonk, Hillary has been one of the few bright spots in Obama's Cabinet during his first term. The Clintons looks at the amazing lives and careers of America's most powerful political couple, including their unprecedented highs and their notorious controversies, but it also humanizes the duo who have overcome considerable personal and political hurdles along the way. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events in her life, you will learn about Bill and Hillary Clinton like you never have before, in no time at all.

Download or read book What Happened written by Hillary Rodham Clinton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An engaging, beautifully synthesized page-turner” (Slate). The #1 New York Times bestseller and Time #1 Nonfiction Book of the Year: Hillary Rodham Clinton’s most personal memoir yet, about the 2016 presidential election. In this “candid and blackly funny” (The New York Times) memoir, Hillary Rodham Clinton reveals what she was thinking and feeling during one of the most controversial and unpredictable presidential elections in history. She takes us inside the intense personal experience of becoming the first woman nominated for president by a major party in an election marked by rage, sexism, exhilarating highs and infuriating lows, stranger-than-fiction twists, Russian interference, and an opponent who broke all the rules. “At her most emotionally raw” (People), Hillary describes what it was like to run against Donald Trump, the mistakes she made, how she has coped with a shocking and devastating loss, and how she found the strength to pick herself back up afterward. She tells readers what it took to get back on her feet—the rituals, relationships, and reading that got her through, and what the experience has taught her about life. In this “feminist manifesto” (The New York Times), she speaks to the challenges of being a strong woman in the public eye, the criticism over her voice, age, and appearance, and the double standard confronting women in politics. Offering a “bracing... guide to our political arena” (The Washington Post), What Happened lays out how the 2016 election was marked by an unprecedented assault on our democracy by a foreign adversary. By analyzing the evidence and connecting the dots, Hillary shows just how dangerous the forces are that shaped the outcome, and why Americans need to understand them to protect our values and our democracy in the future. The election of 2016 was unprecedented and historic. What Happened is the story of that campaign, now with a new epilogue showing how Hillary grappled with many of her worst fears coming true in the Trump Era, while finding new hope in a surge of civic activism, women running for office, and young people marching in the streets.

Download or read book Hillary Clinton written by James Beresford and published by . This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1996, as the Whitewater investigations into the Clintons' real estate scandal were reaching their climax, the renowned author and columnist, William Safire, called Hillary Clinton "a congenital liar" (New York Times, 1996). He added, "She is in the longtime habit of lying; and she has never been called to account for lying herself or in suborning lying in her aides and friends." This new book by James Beresford, with its hard-punching facts and the personal testimonies of people close to the Clintons, may be the last chance for rational thinkers in America to call Hillary to account, and stem the litany of lies that has become her legacy. And Beresford serves up a plethora of reasons why her Presidency of the United States would be an utter disaster.Some will no doubt claim that this book, produced in the freakish election year of 2016, is some gambit by the unbridled Trump campaign to besmirch Hillary Clinton. But Beresford is working on an equally revealing treatise on Donald Trump, with all the reasons why he too is not to be trusted, and why he is an appalling role model (as is Clinton) for today's younger generations.Hillary Clinton: A Legacy of Lies brings into sharp focus how the Clintons have, by their unsavoury morals and perfidious, self-serving actions, created a new standard for younger generations in their understanding of what is right and wrong. Beresford believes that William Safire's use of the word "congenital" was misapplied since congenital implies something derived from birth--a sickness if you will. But in Hillary Clinton's case, Beresford believes her actions are not congenital ("... that would be too forgiving ...") but deliberately cunning and egomaniacal.This book is of course one person's opinion. Yet it presents facts and assertions in an easy-to-follow format with credible citations and references."It is my sincere hope," says Beresford, "that even those who have so far been admirers of Hillary Clinton will take a step back from her flock of fawning acolytes, and observe clearly this disingenuous, duplicitous individual for who she really is."

Download or read book Alter Egos written by Mark Landler and published by Virgin Books Limited. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Hillaryâe(tm)s presidential campaign gears up, we are on the point of a titanic shift in Americanâe(tm)s role in the world. Obama has had a sceptical approach to foreign policy, with the belief that more disasters are caused by doing too much than doing too little, whether in Vietnam or Iraq. But is that really good enough in the storm-tossed world of modern foreign relations? His critics have derided it as weak and reactive, and most importantly a retreat from Americanâe(tm)s historic role as the worldâe(tm)s peacekeeper. Among the harshest critics was Hillary Clinton, who went from arch-rival, to Obamaâe(tm)s loyal lieutenant and is now poised to succeed him. As Secretary of State, Hillary has been intimately involved in every major foreign-policy debate and will take a more muscular, interventionist view of Americaâe(tm)s responsibilities in foreign affairs. Weaving together these two approaches with portraits of the two most riveting figures in the worldâe(tm)s most powerful country, Mark Landler, White House correspondent for the New York Times for over six years, describes how this sea-change in American foreign power will define the next decade. This book, informed by many different one-to-one conversations and interviews with both Obama and Hillary, Air Force One gossip, and off-the-cuff policy pronouncements, paints this debate in engaging and personal terms. As such itâe(tm)s essential reading for anyone seeking to understand either Obamaâe(tm)s legacy or Hillaryâe(tm)s promise, and outlines the core rivalry between two trailblazers who shared a common sense of their historical destiny, but have vitally different instincts about how to project American power in the world.
