This slide deck was used for a presentation to the Chicagoland Community Advisory Board on September 14, 2011. It was based on my experiences in the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, and reflects my thoughts 10 years after the attack.
This document provides biographical and historical information about several US presidents from Jimmy Carter to Barack Obama. It discusses their backgrounds, major accomplishments, challenges faced, and key events that occurred during their administrations, such as the Iran hostage crisis, Reaganomics, the 9/11 attacks, and the Affordable Care Act. Presidential elections from 1980 to 2012 are also summarized.
Jimmy Carter's presidency was marked by several key events and challenges:
1) He brokered the historic Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel in 1978.
2) However, his presidency was hampered by stagflation, the Iran hostage crisis, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
3) He lost his bid for reelection in 1980 to Ronald Reagan in a landslide as Americans had lost confidence in his leadership.

Finally, it emphasizes the importance of inter-agency communication and coordination using a whole of government and whole of community approach to ensure success in homeland security and homeland defense missions. The presentation features a panel discussion with Paul Stockton, James Winnefeld, and Craig McKinley.
Unit 9 lesson 4 the george w. bush presidencyMrsSmithGHS
George W. Bush pursued a conservative domestic agenda after becoming president in 2000, passing tax cuts and education reforms. However, the September 11th terrorist attacks shifted U.S. foreign policy focus to combating terrorism. Bush launched wars in Afghanistan and Iraq but faced criticism over the lack of WMDs found and rising deficits. By 2006, voter discontent led Democrats to regain control of Congress.
Bill Clinton was elected president in 1992 on a platform of centrist policies that appealed to both liberals and conservatives. As president, he passed policies like the Family Medical Leave Act and Brady Bill but failed to achieve health care reform. This setback empowered Republicans led by Newt Gingrich, who captured Congress in 1994 on their Contract with America. Clinton was reelected in 1996 due to a strong economy but his presidency was marred by the impeachment scandal over his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
President Richard Nixon took office in 1969 with the goal of ending the Vietnam War. However, the Watergate Scandal erupted in 1972 and involved a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and Nixon's subsequent cover-up. This led to Nixon's resignation in 1974, making him the first U.S. president to resign from office. His successor, Gerald Ford, granted Nixon a full pardon but saw his approval ratings drop as a result. Jimmy Carter was elected in 1976 but struggled with economic issues and crises like the Iran hostage crisis, where 52 Americans were held for over a year, weakening his presidency.
The document discusses various aspects of the Iraq War over its seven year duration. It describes images of death and memorials for fallen soldiers. It notes the war's financial costs and criticisms from protesters. Scenes from the war zone portray violence and civilians caught in crossfire. One aim of the war was to establish a democratic government in Iraq, but much of the country was destroyed over years of fighting between US forces and insurgent groups like al-Qaeda.
Washington appointed the first US Cabinet members, including Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State, Henry Knox as Secretary of War, Alexander Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury, and Edmund Randolph as Attorney General. These advisors then faced the challenges of massive national and state debt totaling $75.6 million, an empty treasury, securing the frontier from British forts and tribes, establishing a military with only 647 soldiers and no navy, and dealing with tensions from the French Revolution and British and Spanish foreign relations issues.

Gerald Ford became the 38th President of the United States in 1974 after Nixon resigned. Ford had a long political career in the House before becoming Vice President. As President, Ford faced challenges including high inflation, a recession, and ending U.S. involvement in Vietnam. He granted Nixon a full pardon for any Watergate crimes to help the country move on from the scandal.
The document discusses the presidencies of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush from 1981 to 1993. It outlines some key accomplishments and controversies of Ronald Reagan's time as president, including working with Mikhail Gorbachev to help reform the Soviet Union, being re-elected in a landslide in 1984, and escalating defense spending. However, it also notes the Iran-Contra scandal and increase in the federal budget deficit under Reagan. The Challenger space shuttle disaster that occurred in 1986 is also mentioned.
The document discusses postwar conditions in America following World War I. There was a desire for normalcy after the war and losses that led to renewed isolationism, nativism, and political conservatism. The Russian Revolution and fears of communism led to the Red Scare and attacks on civil liberties through the Palmer Raids. Immigration was increasingly restricted through the quota system of the 1920s. Warren G. Harding was elected in 1920 on a promise of returning to normalcy, but his administration was plagued by scandals.
The document summarizes major events of the 1990s including Bill Clinton's election as president in 1992 and 1996, the Contract with America, NAFTA, the booming economy, scandals involving Clinton and women, the Oklahoma City bombing, Osama Bin Laden and al-Qaeda, and conflicts such as the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.
President Gerald Ford became vice president in 1973 and then president in 1974 after Nixon resigned. He faced major issues like inflation, recession, and energy shortages. Ford aimed to curb inflation, stimulate the economy, and reduce taxes and government spending. His decision to pardon Nixon was controversial. As president, Ford negotiated with other nations and worked to prevent war in the Middle East. However, the struggling economy and Nixon pardon contributed to his defeat in the 1976 election against Jimmy Carter.
Unit 9 lesson 3 global politics and economicsMrsSmithGHS
The document summarizes United States foreign policy under President Clinton in the post-Cold War era. It discusses how the US took on a new role in global politics and economics by supporting free trade agreements like NAFTA and the WTO. It also describes Clinton's military interventions in Somalia, Haiti, and the Balkans to stop ethnic cleansing. Finally, it covers increased tensions in the Middle East and terrorist attacks by al Qaeda that targeted America.
Gerald Ford was born Leslie Lynch King Jr. in Omaha, Nebraska and moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan at age 2. He was a five-sport athlete in high school and played football at the University of Michigan, where he was the 1933 national champion. Ford received a law degree from Yale University and served in WWII before being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1949, serving until he became Vice President under Nixon in 1973. As president, Ford pardoned Nixon for his role in the Watergate scandal in an attempt to help the nation heal. However, his approval ratings dropped as a result. In foreign policy, Ford sought to reassert U.S. strength globally after the Vietnam War and
Gerald Ford was the 38th President of the United States, taking office after Richard Nixon resigned in 1974. Some of his key acts as president included granting pardon to Richard Nixon for his crimes related to the Watergate scandal, ordering the evacuation of remaining American personnel from Vietnam in 1975, and signing the Helsinki Accords to improve relations with Soviet bloc countries. Ford also served as a Representative and Vice President prior to becoming President. He lived to age 93, becoming the longest-lived President at the time of his death in 2006.
Jimmy Carter was born in 1924 in Plains, Georgia. He served in the Navy for 11 years before becoming a peanut farmer. He was elected Governor of Georgia in 1971 and President in 1976. As President, Carter faced a struggling economy with high inflation and unemployment. He created new government departments and pursued diplomacy and human rights abroad but lost reelection in 1980 due to economic woes.
President Carter faced many domestic and foreign policy challenges during his presidency from 1977-1981. Domestically, he tried to tackle high inflation and unemployment by developing a national energy policy focused on conservation and alternative energy. However, inflation continued to rise. He had some environmental successes but the Three Mile Island incident increased concerns about nuclear power. In foreign policy, Carter recognized China, pursued arms limitations with the USSR, and brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel. However, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and Iranian hostage crisis undermined his presidency and contributed to his loss in the 1980 election.
This document discusses several key determinants and influences on American national security policy in the coming decade, including threats from weapons of mass destruction like nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and their delivery systems. It also examines the history of nuclear proliferation, efforts to cope with proliferation, and options for U.S. policy regarding threats like extended nuclear deterrence, weapons of mass destruction, and other measures.
After Nixon resigned, Gerald Ford became president and sought to restore trust in government. He pardoned Nixon, hoping to help the country move on. In 1976, Ford ran for election but lost to Jimmy Carter, hurt by a weak economy and his pardon of Nixon. Carter achieved the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt but lost re-election in 1980 as the economy faltered and Iran held American hostages for over a year.
This document discusses the influence of Zionist groups in American politics and their relationship to Israel. It makes three key points:
1. Zionist organizations in the US claim to represent all American Jews, but surveys show most Jews do not actively participate in or support these groups. At most, they actively engage around 500,000 people.
2. Though small in numbers, these Zionist groups wield significant political power through strategic placements in institutions, mobilization of funding, and control of the media narrative. They function like a "power configuration" rather than a simple lobby.
3. There is a debate around whether these Zionist groups are legitimately part of the American political system or are instead acting as unregistered foreign agents of
The Bush era has seen remarkable change in the US foreign policy. After 9/ 11 attacks, President Bush (the son) initiated the Bush Doctrine and started his war on terror which had such implications as the invasion of Afghanistan in 2011, and the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
After winning the election narrowly in 1968, President Nixon pursued a moderate domestic agenda including establishing new federal agencies like the EPA and OSHA. However, his proposal for a guaranteed annual income failed to pass Congress. Nixon aimed to consolidate Southern support by nominating conservative justices to the Supreme Court. The Watergate scandal erupted after the 1972 election, involving Nixon administration officials covering up a break-in at the Democratic National Headquarters. This led to Nixon's resignation in 1974 to avoid impeachment. The 1970s also saw rising inflation, energy crises, and economic stagnation known as stagflation.
Unit 9 lesson 5 americans look towards the futureMrsSmithGHS
This document summarizes changes in American society at the beginning of the 21st century. Immigration increased significantly due to relaxed policies like the 1990 Immigration Act. Most new immigrants were Latino and Asian, changing the ethnic makeup of cities. However, immigration was controversial, with debates around bilingual education and illegal immigration. American families also changed, with more single parents and dual-income households. There were also gains for minorities and women's rights, though issues like affirmative action remained debated. An aging population raised challenges around Social Security. Overall, Americans adapted to rapid change while preserving cultural heritage.
Globalization of the World after the terrorists attack on 9/11. Focus on not only the economic and political impact but also on a social-cultural scale.
Gerald Ford was born in 1913 in Omaha, Nebraska. He took his stepfather's last name after his parents divorced. Ford played football in college and became a lawyer in Grand Rapids. He was elected to Congress in 1949 as a Republican and served for 25 years. Ford became Vice President in 1973 after Spiro Agnew resigned and became President in 1974 when Nixon resigned. As President, Ford pardoned those who evaded the Vietnam draft in an effort to heal the nation. He lost his reelection bid in 1976 to Jimmy Carter.
Ronald Reagan was a conservative American politician who served as the 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989. Some key details about his life and presidency include: He was born in 1911 in Illinois and got his start in Hollywood before pursuing a career in politics. As President, Reagan advocated for lower taxes, less government regulation of the economy, and increased military spending. His policies aimed to stimulate economic growth and roll back communism. However, his presidency was also marked by controversies like the Iran-Contra affair and growing inequality.
This document provides a profile and overview of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. It discusses his background growing up poor in Texas and joining the military. Eisenhower had a long military career, rising to Supreme Commander of NATO and helping to liberate Europe in WWII. The document outlines his 1952 election as president as a Republican, defeating Adlai Stevenson. As president, Eisenhower supported the Brown v. Board of Education decision and civil rights acts, initiated the interstate highway system, and continued New Deal programs while opposing McCarthyism. His legacy includes the Eisenhower Doctrine on combating communism and rankings among top ten presidents.

Not all of recent American history has been great. In this presentation, learn about times that tried America's patience and spirit, from the 2000 presidential election to the 9/11 attacks. Learn how the US responded and what such responses have meant for Americans today.
