The aspects of the presidency, interest groups, democracy, public opinion, bureaucracy, and elections are discussed widely in the NY Times. Since the actual importance of these aspects for the American citizens is essential, it is hard to overestimate the significance of the information published in this periodical. Therefore, the analyzed articles will be regarded from the perspective of the stated aspects.
The promise and performance of American democracy in the articles are emphasized by the very existence of these articles, as the authors are free to discuss and analyze any event associated with political life in the USA. All three articles perform in depth analysis of the events, or offer all the necessary information for such an analysis, hence, whether these are discussion of a public opinion, description of the governor’s actions, or analysis of the judicial system authorization, the democracy provides the necessary framework for the mass media freedom, and the following public discussion of these aspects and events.
Public opinion is one of the most important aspects among the six regarded, and all three articles pay specific attention to it. Therefore, Ryan, Pushing Budget, Resists Talk of Higher Office article is slightly focused on the matters of the possible results of the elections, considering the public opinion of the audience. However, the most important aspects of the article are democracy, the presidency of Obama, his position associated with democracy in the USA, as well as a bureaucratic system of the federal government. These aspects are mainly intended to identify the nature of the relations within the higher office, and the attitude of the interest groups towards these relations.
Governor of Mississippi Won’t Run for President article is deeply invoved into the assessment of the public opinion (by discussing the attitude of the public towards Haley Barbour’s abandoning of the attempt to join the presidential race), as well as the aspects of presidency and bureaucracy. These factors of the political life and analysis are needed to create the framework for assessing the democratic opportunities that were used by gov. Barbour, hence, formed a pleasant public opinion background among his potential electors. The interest groups are not discussed widely in this article; however, it is evident that the audience took his efforts seriously. In the light of this fact it should be emphasized that democracy will take its effect, and the governor will not have enough chances to become a second-term governor.
Justices Skeptical on Role of Courts in Setting Emissions Standards may be regarded as the assessment of the judicial system within the democratic framework, and with the bureaucratic background.

The emission standards are the instance of bureaucracy, while the presidency aspect is touched upon by mentioning the government system and political forces that are involved in the regulation process.
The aspects associated with the democratic structure of the political system and government of the USA are discussed and analyzed jointly in the regarded aspects, and these are included into various frameworks for the proper analysis.
