Barack Obama’s first months in office have been the most dramatic of any U.S. President since Franklin Roosevelt, who reinvented American government in the 1930s. Obama is making his mark amid a national, and global, economic crisis. He is establishing bold policies that are characterized by change, in the ways people think and act. But not everyone agrees with what Obama is doing, and it’s unclear if he will succeed in revitalizing the U.S. and improving its global standing. Michael Elliott, Editor of TIME International, will take a close look at Obama’s first few months in office, examine the changes he has made, and assess the challenges he faces.
Michael Elliott is the editor of TIME International and the Deputy Managing Editor of Time magazine in the U.S.A. He joined TIME as editor-at-large in 2001. Elliott also spent 10 years at The Economist where he was political editor and Washington bureau chief. He then spent seven years at Newsweek, and was editor of Newsweek International. He was educated at Oxford University, after which he taught at Northwestern University, the University of Warwick and the LSE.
