AUK Associate Professor of International Relations Dr. George Irani participated in a show titled 'The Road to the White House' on Kuwait TV. The show is produced by Dr. Abdallah Al-Shayeji, Chair of the Political Science Department at Kuwait University.

The program covered topics including, President Obama's nominations for the positions of Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense, as well as a discussion on the fiscal cliff in the US. The program also discussed future prospects in relations between Obama and the US congress.

During his conversation, Dr. Irani stressed that the election of Barack Obama to a second presidential mandate is a sign of maturity in the American electorate. According to Dr. Irani, the appointment of the trio-Kerry, Hagel and Brennan-is proof of Obama's aim to build a solid team he can trust and rely upon in his second term.
