Abstract:

This paper is a study of leadership consistency and efficacy through the words and actions of President George W. Bush specifically in the series of speeches delivered during the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The American President takes center stage during a national crisis notably as Commander-in-Chief and there can be no debate that the world community waits anxiously for President Bush to address the nation regarding the terrorist attacks occurring that fateful September morning. As the American President has been transformed into the focal actor in the political system - [whereby] Presidents are held responsible by the public for virtually every aspect of national performance (Cohen and Krause, 2000), the public learns the national resolve of the attacks by way of a series of September 11 speeches that merit further analysis.

My research endeavors to test the assumption that given the variable of the September 11 terrorist attacks, President Bush maintains a consistent message, more specifically, a concrete mission or purpose, conferred eight months prior to the unforeseen crisis at his Inaugural speech on January 20, 2001. The Inaugural message serves as the benchmark the foundation of my experiment. I posit the theory that President Bushs fundamental mission as President, introduced within the language of the Inaugural message, is consistent and present throughout his speeches during the September 11 crisis as well as the messages following in the forthcoming State of the Union speeches in January 2002 and 2003. Furthermore, the measurement of consistency is central to testing presidential leadership because when the mission of the nations leader is recognized through subtle, yet clear reiteration in major speeches to the nation (and consequently to the world) no matter what degree of competitive threat that descends upon the scope of the administrations control, the national identity is more sustainable compared to an administration that may steer destiny on reactive, less mission-driven strategies during events such as unpredicted terrorist attacks.

My research is designed to test if President Bushs mission ever changes within his speech content. In essence, the scope of the research design is to test the consistency of the Presidents mission by applying a statistical model that measures Bushs rhetorical messages. From the statistical analysis, the paper then tests for tangible evidence of the administrations actual and forecasted budgetary allocations to the core components stated within the Presidents mission.
