From the Paper
"The inaugural address of an American president is an important ceremonial event and an occasion for a particular kind of communication between the President and the people--not only those people who voted for him, but all the people, for the President is the one elected federal official who represents all the people and not just a segment of the population. The address is the first official pronouncement made by the new president, and it is analyzed as setting the tone for the four years to follow. The speech should indicate in broad strokes how the president views the task facing the nation. This is not the occasion for specific statements of policy, though newspapers and other commentators will comb through every word looking for some indication of the direction policy may take. Every inaugural address develops from the political culture and turmoil of the..."

Washington's Inaugural Address and Final Address, 2008.
A comparison of President George Washington's inaugural address and his final address.

Abstract
This paper discusses President George Washington's first inaugural address, given in 1789 and his final, departing address as President, given in 1796. The paper compares and contrasts the two addresses and highlights two major continuities in both of Washington's speeches: his genuine reluctance to be President and his disdain for party politics.
From the Paper
"To close, there are many similarities between the First Inaugural Address of Washington and his final address as President. Most of all, Washington remains steadfast in his contempt of party politics and is consistent in his absence of a driving ambition that made the Presidency anything other than a duty that had to be fulfilled. Yet, God is noticeably less prominent in his second address, and one is left to wonder if the increased prominence of the Constitution suggests that it has almost taken on a sort of religious significance to America's First President. In the end, while Washington may have been unswerving in his revulsion of some things, his affection for other things grew with time."

Abstract
This essay explores John F. Kennedy's inaugural address of 1961. It looks at the ways in which Kennedy's speech effected America and the world during the Age of Industrialization. Gauging history from the perspective of a refined hindsight telescope, this essay explains the relevance that Kennedy's speech had on the future course of globalization. The essay also highlights parts of Kennedy's address that relate to today's War on Terrorism.
From the Paper
"Kennedy, like Eisenhower before him, faced many obstacles in his search for allies. Initially, polycentrism posed a serious stumbling block for the cause of freedom. Just as there were many nations willing to align themselves with America in the fight for liberty, there were also a plethora of autonomous Communist movements that were spreading Communist ideals throughout Asia and the USSR. Kennedy also confronted problems of apathy and neutralism. Many nations denied the invitation to side with Democracy or Communism feeling that it was in the best interest of their respective nations to abstain from foreign involvement. This further delayed progress and globalization. Aggressive China, with her enormous population and dominant Asian influence, spread the seeds of Communism that grew to bite the heels of American soldiers throughout the long struggles of Vietnam. Kennedy?s task was not an easy one. As president, Kennedy made countless attempts to ease conflict with Russia after the Cuban Missile Crisis. In spite of his attempts to ease tensions, Kennedy could not shrink from the fundamental principle of national restraint originally outlined in the Truman Doctrine."

Abstract
This paper analyzes John F. Kennedy's inaugural address given on January 20, 1961. It discusses the style of the speech, particularly his effective use of oratory and rhetorical techniques. It looks at the way in which his language and also his unique voice and persona caused the words to remain in the listeners' mind. The paper also discusses Kennedy's body language and attire while delivering his speech. It combines all of these aspects to describe the success of his presentation.
From the Paper
"What is most striking about the speech is how much it asks of its listeners. It is easy to listen to, because of its effective use of oratory and rhetorical techniques, like rhetorical questions, parallel sentence structure, and intense, physical images that paint a picture for the listener. This is especially important in an age before television was common in all households, to satisfy listeners far away as well as the immediate, watching audience of the speech in front of the Capital. Yet the speech also demands that young Americans press themselves to answer the call to liberty, to pick up the set-down torch of the previous generation, and bear the burden of giving back to their nation. The effectiveness of the speech was sufficient that Americans listened with pleasure not simply to the image of themselves they wanted to have of peaceful and freedom-loving people, but that they were also inspired to exceed their own comfort zones and the expectations they had for their future."

"Analysis of John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address,
Delivered Friday, January 20, 1961
The Situation
President Kennedy beat out Richard Nixon by an extremely small margin, and the campaign was a bitter one. The nation was also at war in Vietnam, there was a strong Cold War going on with Russia, and there was also some fear that Kennedy, the first-ever Catholic president might create a non-secular government. On the morning of the inauguration, it was snowing in Washington, and many people wanted to cancel the outdoor swearing in. Kennedy demanded that it be held outdoors as tradition dictated.

Lincoln's Rhetorical Use of God, 2006.
An examination of the way in which U.S. President Lincoln rhetorically used the Christian God throughout his presidency, culminating in his "Second Inaugural Address".

Abstract
This paper examines the use of God in three major speeches given by Abraham Lincoln: the First Inaugural, The Gettysburg Address, and the Second Inaugural. This author discusses Lincoln's use of divine agency as a rhetorical tactic for explaining the circumstances of the Civil War and the abolition of slavery.
From the Paper
"In his later speeches, and his "Second Inaugural Address" in particular, Lincoln tends to borrow a significant amount of his ethos, as politicians are apt to do, from the Christian God and scriptures. Of course, we see this in his earlier speeches as well. His "House Divided Speech," given before the Illinois Republican State Convention of 1858, gets its most memorable line, and its very name, from the Gospels. However, Lincoln does seem to increase his rhetorical use of the Christian God throughout his presidency, and his "Second Inaugural Address," may be a culmination of this tactic."

Princess Diana and President Clinton, 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains that Princess Diana and President Clinton exuded considerable charm that helped developed their initial popularity with their public. The author points out that, in each case, sexual indiscretion on the part of one or both of the marital partners enjoyed a high public profile. The paper stresses that both Diana and Clinton devoted a significant amount of time to political or social causes close to their hearts.
From the Paper
"Still, no story has just one side, and Bill Clinton has done much to forward political and social causes close to his heart. One of these is the cause of disadvantaged black people. For his work, Clinton has earned the honor of being inducted into the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame. For his work promoting the interests of marginalized blacks not only in the United States, but around the world, Toni Morrison has referred to Clinton as ?our first Black president?. He was also the first White person to receive the honor of being inducted in the Black Hall of Fame. Rodney Slater, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation, introduced Clinton with the words: "Mr. President, you have given so many of us the opportunity to be the first Black this, the first Black that, and tonight we are going to give you the opportunity to become the first White inductee into the Black Hall of Fame.""

Abstract
The thesis is divided into eight sections that appear as follows. The first section investigates key concepts from Adlerian psychology that are pertinent to the analysis of Clinton's life. The second section explores major events from Clinton's early, formative years-events that an Adlerian analysis would indicate are critical for understanding how the former president developed his unique approach to life. The investigation also provides an exploration of Clinton's possible mistaken beliefs and their formation in his early childhood. In addition, the research examines Clinton's painful earliest recollections and how his interpretation of organ inferiority pushed him to over compensate in his life. Adlerian tools of birth order are used to examine how Clinton's position as an only child/firstborn within his family affected his unique approach to life. In addition, the research provides an exploration of how the painful experiences of childhood neglect, like those that are reflected in Clinton's experiences with his stepfather Roger Clinton, and his mothers leaving him at a young age to study nursing, might contribute to the development of what Adler characterized as neurotic tendencies. The writer also applies Adlerian insights to explain the role of Family Hero in Clinton's life and its later impact on his adult life and presidency. The seventh and eighth sections explore how such a brilliant leader and popular president could give his enemies the ammunition they wanted by continuous sexual infidelities. Finally, the thesis explores the accomplishments of Bill Clinton and the Adlerian principles ultimately helped him succeed.

From the Paper
"The examination of American Presidents has fascinated Americans for many years. In recent years, the life of William Jefferson Clinton has been a particular point of interest. The purpose of this thesis is to describe, analyze, and discuss the private and public lives of Bill Clinton in congruence with the psychology of Alfred Adler. Assorted characteristics of Clinton's unique approach to life will be discussed and analyzed, and the study will recognize some political processes and outcomes. The discussion will not take a political stance on Bill Clinton; instead, it aims to recognize that his style of leadership was a result of his lifestyle. In order to describe and analyze Clinton impartially through the lens of Adlerian psychology, the thesis will identify all facets of Bill Clinton's character. For this reason, the thesis will evaluate the difficult circumstances in which he was born, and both the good and negative aspects of his early family life. Additionally, the thesis will reveal that although the former president had major struggles to overcome he managed to more often than not embody the crucial Adlerian qualities of equality, balance of power, gender equality, cooperation and social interest."

From the Paper
"During his first term as governor, Clinton made efforts to improve Arkansas's economy, which was among the poorest in the country. He focused on improving the state highways as they were in a bad shape but had to raise taxes for meeting the cost, which proved unpopular. Some of his other initiatives such restriction on tree-cutting in national forests were opposed by the lumber and paper-making companies, while bankers were annoyed with his proposal to withhold state funds from banks that did not lend enough money for small businesses. Most of all, his opponents exploited the government's settling of Cuban refugees in Arkansas, by evoking the fear that they would take away jobs from the local workers. All of these factors contributed to Clinton's defeat in his bid for re-election for the governorship in 1980 against the Republican Party candidate (Ibid.)"

Abstract
This paper discusses former president William Jefferson Clinton, and describes how his character traits affected his presidency. The paper describes both Clinton's weaknesses and strengths as a leader and shows how Clinton's personal life was not relevant to his presidential successes. The paper enumerates many of Clinton's achievements and explains how Clinton's leadership skills helped him reach them. The author discusses the Monica Lewinsky affair and contends that it had no bearing on Clinton's ability to be president or his leadership abilities.
From the Paper
"For Bill Clinton, more than any other president in recent memory (possibly excepting the current President Bush), character not only helps establish a leadership style, but rather defines it. For Bill Clinton, his character weaknesses also defined, more clearly than perhaps had been done before, exactly what the American people thought might constitute leadership in their president, and what that leadership must accomplish and what it could do without."

Abstract
This paper reviews and summarizes Radcliffe's book about Hilary Clinton, her successes, failures, political career and personal life and the forces that shaped her early career.
From the Paper
"Hillary Rodham Clinton grew up in an era where women often felt like they had to make a choice-choose between children and a career, between love and pursuing a life's dream of professional success. But Hillary Clinton was determined to 'have it all.' She wanted both a fulfilling private and personal life, and a fulfilling life as a career woman and later, as a politician on the national and international stage. This conviction came not simply from her ambition and her desire to advance the career of her husband. Rather, it was also motivated by a desire to engage in social activism, particularly to advance the causes the First Lady felt passionate about, such as children's rights, as well as and including women's rights."

Abstract
This paper looks at the moral and ethical debate surrounding former President Clinton's affair with former intern, Monica Lewinsky. In doing so, the paper compares Clinton's propensity for extra-marital affairs with that of former President Kennedy, also known to have had several extra-marital relationships. The paper notes the difference in press coverage and societal standards that made it possible for Kennedy to avoid public scandal but impossible for Clinton to avoid it. The paper also looks at the moral and ethical responsibility of a leader to be not only a proper role model, but to accept responsibility for his actions. The paper concludes by arguing that, while Clinton's behavior was unacceptable on a personal level, his service to the country was genuine and highly successful.
From the Paper
"In today?s political world, leaders are looked up to for creating a healthy social environment that is a pre-requisite for a healthy governing environment. More over, a growing population of the working class Americans is taking greater interest in ethics and values these days. Most voters link bad ethics with a person?s character. Many are of the view that a few ?bad apples? can spoil the working environment for the rest of the nation. Speaking of ethics, an individual who is well groomed should be able to act ethically without special training."

From the Paper
"Abstract
This psycho-historical analysis of Bill Clinton concentrates on the period of his adolescence from the vantage point of three types of developmental theory. The theoretical perspectives are those of Erik Erikson, whose psychosocial approach was psychoanalytic in origin but transcended basic psychoanalytic theory by expanding into the are of relations between human beings and their social settings; James Fowler, who drew on Erikson's developmental schemes and others but concerned himself with the individual's development of faith; and Jean Piaget, whose theory dealt primarily with cognitive development in children but extended into adolescence and adulthood as well. The three theoretical perspectives are applied to three themes: peer relations, parent-child relations, and academics. Each of these themes is developed on ..."

Abstract
This paper reviews the strategy used by Hillary Clinton in getting elected to the United States senate. The writer studies this historic episode because Hillary Rodham Clinton is the only first lady ever to run for such a high office, and this fact alone draws considerable media and other attention. The paper explores women in politics and leadership before looking specifically the the case of Hillary Clinton. The writer includes a background into her politics, family life and values. The paper then explores the needs of the state of New York and the ability of Clinton to meet those needs.
From the Paper
"Hillary Rodham Clinton herself is a lightning rod for conservative and Republican political activists and for some voters, and this fact cannot be ignored. This is true not only because of a certain anger at the personal behavior of her husband but also because the Clintons have been demonized by the opposition since Bill Clinton was first elected President, and even before that in Arkansas. One might think that as the wronged wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton would gain more sympathy, but instead her status as victim is turned into a warped idea of how evil she and her husband are."
