...ous statements it can be inferred that in some ways the Obama administration was like the Bush Administration in terms of foreign national policies.

The foreign affairs spectacle was showing Bush as the perfect president with masterful leadership skills and a powerhouse team. In the other hand the domestic spectacle display Bush as a confused leader with a colorless team. The foreign policy team was seem as cool, intelligent and worthy. What it boost the foreign policy spectacle was the Operation Desert Storm which lacked on destroying the enemy, but as military display, it provided Americans with numerous scenes to cheer. Otherwise the domestic Bush was awful, especially when it came to economics.

Because of their positions in the government and their resulting influential abilities, presidents are either praised for advancing the nation, criticized for not doing anything to help the country, or even making the country’s situation worse. Their success as president is dependent on the success of the country. People don’t take into consideration the attempts presidents make, but only those things that help or hurt the country.
