Overview

A searing look into the American political landscape under Obama’s leadership.

The international relations of the United States has changed radically from what had been U.S. foreign policy for decades under presidents from both major political parties. Those were times in which people around the world could count on Presidents of the United States to treat allies as allies, and adversaries as adversaries.

The book makes no predictions other than the obvious: on January the 20th of 2013, there will be an inaugural ceremony above the west steps of the U.S. Capitol Building. It might be the Second Inaugural of Barack Obama or it might be the First Inaugural of someone else. Either way, that elected leader will be a War-Time President.
