In 2007 and 2008, Barack Obama ran for president with a message of a shared purpose uniting all Americans, and was elected with expectations that he would usher in a new national culture under an approach grounded in public engagement that would transcend partisan divisions. But in an institutional system designed for incremental and contested policy-making governance, enacting these transformational ambitions proved to be far more difficult than anticipated. This innovative volume assesses the legacy of President Obama, with a conceptual focus on the challenge of meeting his goals with the realities of governing. A diverse group of political science, history, and communication studies experts systematically examines Obama’s performance, accomplishments, and shortcomings through the lens of the expectations gap – the tensions and obstacles of translating campaign promises into policies. The wide, representative set of case studies address campaigning and coalition building, party polarization, presidential communication, executive power, leadership and decision-making, and domestic and foreign policy. With original and deep analysis, these scholars make a unique, enduring contribution to understanding the Obama presidency, the office of the president, and indeed American politics. This insightful, accessible book will be of great interest to students and scholars of the presidency, political communication & rhetoric, and broadly across US government and democracy.

This work analyzes four case studies: George H.W. Bush’s approach to the conflict with Iraq (stemming from Iraq's invasion of Kuwait), Bill Clinton’s approach to the conflict with North Korea over its nuclear program, George W. Bush’s approach to the ongoing conflict with Iraq over its WMD programs, territorial ambitions and alleged ties with terrorists, and George W. Bush's approach to the recurring conflict with North Korea. The volume consequently sheds light on these presidents' foreign policies. Its framework, which emphasizes the flexibility and the patience presidents employ, focuses on alternatives to the use of major military force, such as sanctions, military threats, and negotiations.
