i taught for a few years at george mason and look forward to another conversation on this campus.the argument that i make in this book, is that the first four president of the internet age developed markedly different approaches to selling themselves policies through the mass media. one of the most important presidential rolls in my view, is this marketing of the president. in order to convince congress and the public, oftentimes skeptical, to support initiatives, it's necessary for a president to promote themselves, really in a way that might be unseemly to an earlier age. in our media environment, it simply doesn't stop. what's striking about these for most recent presidents and that's bill clinton, and george w. bush and barack obama and donald trump, all of them use very different strategies in terms of using the media, to cultivate that positive opinion of themselves. the one thing they did have in common, they all focused a great deal on character. on how they could connect with ordinary citizens in this mechanism. i would argue that the social media environment, the interne
