The cover story for Time Magazine for the week of October 27, 2008 caught my eye. The article analyzes role that temperament plays in effective campaigns and presidencies. The article discusses the temperaments and administrations of many of the 20th century presidents we have discussed including, Nixon, Eisenhower, Truman, Roosevelt, Hoover, and Johnson.
Below you will find the link to the full Cover Story from Time magazine online:
The actual magazine also has a segment that includes the opinions of 4 presidential historians who analyze and suggest what type of temperament is best for a president. The link to this discussion is: http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1850921,00.html
It really is interesting to consider temperament especially when watching many of the presidential debates that have been posted. Many of the clips show varying levels of emotion and reactions to criticism.
Just something else to think about when picking a candidate for this year's election too!
