Description:
What is the source of Obama™s power? How is it that, after suffering a humiliating defeat in the 2010 mid-term elections, Obama was able to turn the situation around, deftly outmaneuvering his opponent and achieving a decisive victory in the November 2012 presidential election? In this short and brilliant book, Jeffrey Alexander and Bernadette Jaworsky argue that neither money nor demography can explain this dramatic turnaround. What made it possible, they show, was cultural reconstruction. Realizing he had failed to provide a compelling narrative of his power, the President began forging a new salvation story. It portrayed the Republican austerity budget as a sop to the wealthy, and Obama as a courageous hero fighting for plain folks against the rich. The reinvigorated cultural performance pushed the Tea Party off the political stage in 2011, and Mitt Romney became fodder for the script in 2012. Democrats painted their Republican opponent as a backward-looking elitist, a śBain-capitalistť whose election would threaten the civil solidarity upon which democracy depends. Real world events can spoil even the most effective script. Obama faced monthly unemployment numbers, the daunting Bin Laden raid, three live debates, and Hurricane Sandy. The clumsiness of his opponent and his own good fortune helped the President, but it was the poise and felicity of his improvisations that allowed him to succeed a second time. Converting events into plot points, the President demonstrated the flair for the dramatic that has made him one of the most effective politicians of modern times.While persuas

Weird wording questions

Very weird wording with the math problems. It doesn’t really correlate with test questions or board exams.

A "Must-Read" for the new and mature in Christ!
Format: Kindle
This book is amazing! It makes foundations of our faith that can be difficult to put together on our own very easy to identify and see how they relate to and build on each other. Love the many Bible verse illustrations and references throughout, and for each foundation in the back of the book. Mike and Carrie's love for God and enthusiasm for his Word, what He has given to us, and their desire to share it all is contagious! And so is their love for people - saved and unsaved. Looking forward to using this book for meditation, growth and reference. Sooo much in this book, its one you can read again and again and get something new and transforming from it each time! Can't wait for your next one! Love you guys! ❤
