It considers how they made such arguments, the ethics they advanced, and the vision of America they espoused. The author combines rhetoric analysis, policy analysis, and policy history to illuminate the dynamic nature of the way American presidents have imagined the moral and social bonds of the American people and their exhortations for governance and policy to reflect and honor these bonds and obligations. Schimmel illustrates how Democratic presidents invoke positive liberty and communitarian values in direct challenge to opposing conservative ideologies of limited government and prioritization of negative liberty and their increasing prominence in the post-Reagan era. He also draws attention to the ethical and policy compromises entailed by the usage of specific rhetorical strategies and their resulting discursive effects. 410 0$aRhetoric, politics, and society series. 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aHealth care reform 606 $aWorld politics 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aHealth care reform. 615 0$aWorld politics. 676 $a320 700 $aSchimmel$b Noam$0790030 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739427303321 996 $aPresidential healthcare reform rhetoric$91763089 997 $aUNINA
