To understand the Obama presidency one has also to understand the people around him, including Dennis McDonough. As Dana Milbank points out from his encounter with McDonough- he is way more cautious than Obama, even careful about his choice of words at every point. Dennis McDonough comes from a Catholic family in Minnesota, attended St. Johns University in Collegeville, Minnesota, and Georgetown University. He spent time teaching high school in Belize before Georgetown and attended the Edward Walsh School of Foreign Service. He served as foreign policy advisor of Senator Tom Daschle, legislative director for Senator Salazar, before becoming foreign policy advisor for Obama in 2007. He was deputy National Security Advisor from 2010 to Jan 2013 when he succeeded Jack Lew as White House Chief of Staff.

To understand the Obama presidency one has to understand the people worund him, including Dennis McDonough. Dana Milbank of the Washington Post describes his encounter with McDonough in Jan. 2016, with McDonough being very careful about a choice of words, and seeing him as very cautious- way more cautious than Obama, says Milbank. This may explain some of the decisions taken during the second term of the Obama presidency, including foreign policy, which contrast greatly with the decisiveness of Clinton, and even more with Truman, Democrats who preceded Obama and acted decisively in the Balkans for Clinton and Berlin, Greece, Korea for Truman.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
