The Missing Center: 21 Modern Political Speeches That United America (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781510782808)

21 Defining Political Speeches From Presidents and Political Figures That United America in Uncertain Times

The Missing Center is a message from the younger generation, and reminds us that shared aspirations and goals have solved America's greatest challenges and are at the heart of our greatest accomplishments to come.

In American politics today there is a critical problem: partisanship. While a two-party political system has been a hallmark of the American government since the founding of our democracy, the extreme partisan politics in the 21st century is new. In a quest to find a path forward, The Missing Center showcases the transformative results that can happen when leaders govern from the center to unite, inspire and solve complex problems. We do not need to go back to the days of the Founding Fathers and only have to look at the recent past to find ideas that put the American people first. By examining speeches from presidents and leaders of both parties, we see how governing from the middle is the model that yields the best outcomes.

With defining political speeches from across the aisle, from notable presidents and politicians alike, The Missing Center sheds light on how governing from the center and coming to compromise is the most effective pathway forward. In addition to commentary and context by the author, this important book includes speeches by leaders across the aisle, including:

• Joe Biden
• Donald Trump
• Barack Obama
• George W. Bush
• Hillary Clinton
• Elizabeth Warren
• And More​
