When a president wins his first election, his party usually takes Congress. The president's party usually loses during mid-term elections. Presidents are also more likely to lose Congress during their second terms in office.

"A country's foreign policy is a set of political goals that seeks to outline how that particular country will interact with other countries of the world and, to a lesser extent, non-state actors. Foreign policies generally are designed to help protect a country's national interests, national security, ideological goals, and economic prosperity. This can occur as a result of peaceful cooperation with other nations, or through aggression, war, and exploitation. It may be assumed that foreign policy is as ancient as the human society itself. The twentieth century saw a rapid rise in the importance of foreign policy, with virtually every nation in the world now being able to interact with one another in some diplomatic form."

What books would you suggest for a liberal reader for a government class?

We Answered:

Read Sanford D. Horwitt's "Let Them Call Me Rebel: Saul Alinsky, His Life and Legacy." You can also read Alinsky's now classic "Rules for Radicals." Alinsky is generally considered the father of community activism. Hillary Clinton did her senior honors thesis on Alinsky. He had a fascinating life, to say the least.

Where can i possibly download academic (mainly political science) e-books?

We Answered:

I don't know exactly where those books can be found online, but your best bet is Piratebay + torrent client of choice. Piratebay has tons of e-books; just search for the titles.

You'll be surprised how many obscure titles will pop up. Good luck.

Charlie Wilson's War would be a good one.
Animal Farm by Orwell is of course a classic and would be an awesome one to do it on as would 1984 by Orwell.
The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
