“An Affair With The Media Being President presupposes a relationship with the media. One does have control over the intimacy of that connection. My media association might be best represented by the following interview, recently undertaken for this book: “What do you think of Newstime’s review of your book, Madam President?” “Newstime’s review?

He does reviews.” “Oh, he gets paid for reading what other people have published and then writing what he thinks of their writing?” FunDemocracyInfluencePolicyHumourSatireAmerican HistoryDiplomacyLiterary FictionPolitical Goals Book:The Most Popular President Who Ever Lived [So Far] Source: The Most Popular President Who Ever Lived [So Far]

Still the range of day jobs that some of our Congress people now hold are pretty amazing. Somehow these days a background as a lawyer is a big minus.” HistoryHumourDiscoveryWittyServiceSatireHistorical FictionAmerican HistoryWomen In Politics Book:The Most Popular President Who Ever Lived [So Far] Source: The Most Popular President Who Ever Lived [So Far]

“Convincing all nations in the civilized world to agree that any investments into these corporations should be tax-free was not an easy task. Tea with the Queen didn’t quite cut it. Saki with the Japanese Prime Minister was pleasant, but not quite enough. We had to offer major trade concessions to our partner nations to bring them to the negotiating table.

The talks earned me the title of “The Great Negotiator.” I didn't mind.” GovernmentWittyEntertainingDiplomacyLiterary FictionSatiricalSuccinctPolitical GoalsFast Read Book:The Most Popular President Who Ever Lived [So Far] Source: The Most Popular President Who Ever Lived [So Far]
“Being the World’s Most Powerful Leader is Easier Than You Think One of my first executive orders was to impose a moratorium on any new federal government hiring.

“Educate not Legislate Refusing to pass unnecessary laws requires a converse – encouraging education and understanding. We started by slashing the salaries of legislators (Dubbed “Bloodbath on the Beltway”). That move provided funds to instigate incentive programs for high school teachers – to attract the best and brightest. The result was a generation of bright, energetic 18-year-olds graduating high-school, equipped to tackle the future.” AmericaCultureFictionHistoryDramaEducationalServiceAmerican HistoryWomen In PoliticsFictional Narratives Book:The Most Popular President Who Ever Lived [So Far] Source: The Most Popular President Who Ever Lived [So Far]
“Future Politics Effecting change in national politics was mostly a matter of making better use of online forums, encouraging voters to press forth with hard questions, providing statistics and solutions. Direct-to-voter referendums became an increasingly common way of effecting national policy.
