It discusses the various roles of the chief executive, including chief of state, chief administrator, legislative leader, chief diplomat, commander in chief, and chief economist.

Bush and the first three years of Barack Obama's presidency * Extensive coverage of the Obama Administration's efforts to curb economic decline * Updates on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the killing of Osama bin Laden, and on the treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay * Coverage of the Arab Spring protests and U.S. involvement in the military intervention in Libya * Barack Obama's health care reform legislation |
