    President Obama’s Hypocrisy President Barack Hussein Obama is the forty fourth president of the United States elected in 2008 and he is the first president, under the constitution, of African descent. He worked his way up from the Illinois State Senate to the US Senate and was officially sworn in as president on January 20, 2009. Given his background in politics, logically, people assumed that he was a responsible, trustworthy candidate for president; however, his actions prove otherwise. His past work does not stand for his mental ability to run and decide for a country. Instead of his idea of “hope” and “change”, his presidency has brought the United States to the brink of ruin.…

Bill Clinton, like most Americans, was raised in a working class family and had to diligently work and sacrifice to get the White House. He faced many set backs, election losses, impeachment and scandals but never failed to persevere through the hard times and ended with a successful presidency and favorable ratings when he left office because…

    I believe that President Barack Obama’s defining legacy is being able to maintain hope throughout any change, obstacle, or difficult time in one's life.

I do consider his defining legacy of hope to be a positive step in American history, because it motivates people to never give up on what they want to see happen.

He is shown instilling hope and trust in the newly elected President Obama, without any signs of manipulation of trickery, when he simply awards President Obama with the Nobel Peace Prize. There are no “shady deals” or unscrupulous promises made between the two, the Committee plainly believes that Obama is worthy of the award. The scene is an all white background, showing the seemingly simplicity of the decision the Nobel Committee had to make, which further exemplifies the pure intentions of the Committee.…
