BARACK OBAMA
Does Obama lie to people of the USA?

INTRODUCTION:
“Absolute power causes absolute corruption” in the way Obama is leading this phrase relates so much to our president with all the lies and fake promises that he has said to the people. He has a big problem with lying to people and he does not tell the truth often. When Obama tells the truth it's not what most or more than half of the people in the world want to hear. I believe Obama tries to say stuff to the people or voters to get them to fall into his word instead of what he really means. He gives them what they want to hear but then he changes it. Barack Obama demands, is dishonest he lies so much that people want to impeach him earlier than he's supposed to be in office.

Following Obama's recent dumb comment about small town Americans clinging to guns and religion, he defended himself by claiming that the notion of elitist is absurd because of his poor upbringing. He said that his mother was on food stamps, so how could he be an elitist in his upbringing?Here is the Time article written by Joe Klein in 2006, long before Obama decided to run for president. Back then, he was seen as the

He went to a fancy private school that today costs $25,000 per, and up -- and his mother was studying for a pH.D. What Obama doesn't tell you is that he was in Punahou School in the 70's and mom studied for her pH.D. in the early 90's. How can you go to a fancy school but not be able to buy food because food stamps are for people who don't have money. You don't just automatically get them and If she had enough money to get her Ph.D and enough to pay 25,000 or more then you have enough to buy food. He even told the USA he would make people with food stamps pay mortgages and these people didn't have the money to pay for the mortgages. Why would you make people pay for stuff that they cannot pay for that's crazy and I know people can agree with me you just cannot do that to

    I think power does corrupt. Have you ever felt like someone is controlling your life. So you couldn't take charge of anything that goes on in your own life, and nothing can be done about it. Power does corrupt because when some people have a power they take advantage of it and they make sure that what they want happens and no one can change it. In the story ‘‘ Animal Farm’’ when Major dies the two pigs Napoleon and Snowball took over the farm when they kicked out Jones (the farmer).…

    Everyone lies. It is the truth, and it is explained with great depth in Stephanie Ericsson’s essay. She claims, “We lie. We all do. We exaggerate, we minimize, we avoid confrontation, we spare people’s feelings, and we conveniently forget, we keep secrets, we justify lying to the big-guy institutions.”…

    William Safire links Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address to the first anniversary of 9/11 very effectively. Safire showed how Lincoln shaped his text around images of birth, death, and resurrection to show when heroes die their deaths permit the rebirth of a nation. He links Lincoln’s words to the circumstances that happened on 9/11. I agree with Safire’s statement that, “the people, not the rulers, are sovereign.” The people get to elect who is in control of their country and if the leader does more harm than good, then they have the power to impeach them.…

    Two Presidencies Theory

    The President of the United States seems to wield immense power; through executive orders and bill vetoing, it often appears that the president has a disproportionate amount of influence. However, other times, the president appears limited in his influence towards policy. Aaron Wildavsky proposed a Two Presidencies theory, which proposes that the president has significant power in relation to foreign policy, but limited power in relation to domestic policy. In reality, it seems that the president has power and influence, albeit checked by different branches and entities, in all areas of government.…

    Introduction Domestic policy is a broad area of public policy, which deals with laws, government programs, and administrative decisions which are directly related to all things that directly affect the people in its own country ("Cambridge Dictionaries Online (US)"). I will be analyzing the three presidents: Lyndon B. Johnson, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton, on the basis of how strong or limited they were on their domestic policies. Bill Clinton was chosen for being able to balance the budget and bring the unemployment rate down to its’ lowest. William “Bill” Clinton was born on August 19, 1946, in Hope, Arkansas. He married Hillary Rodham in 1975 and the next year was elected attorney general of Arkansas.…

    “’…poor people today have it easy because they can get government benefits without doing anything in return’” This quote comes from Nicholas Kristof’s article “ Where’s the Empathy”, where it is used to describe how, according to a poll, wealthy Americans feel about poor people. These comments did not shock me when I initially read them because of the community that I live in, however I have known individuals who have required assistance from the government, and I have found them to be hard working people who strive to return to the work force so they do not have to live on money from the government. I am from a middle class area of Long Island, New York and have been fortunate enough to not need assistance from the government, as have most…

    Since the establishment of the United States of America, the power of the President has increased dramatically and has continued to expand over time. Specifically regarding foreign policy, is where the power of the President has continued to expand over time. Presidential power has continued to expand for many reasons. First, presidents do not believe they need congressional approval with international legal sanction.

    When the founding fathers created the Presidency it was never their intention to enable a unitary executive who had power over foreign and domestic policy. That is why there exists a separation of power, checks and balances, and the power to impeach; because the founding fathers foresaw the risks of allowing one person to have too much power and become imperial. Yet presidents since Franklin Roosevelt have wielded greater power than ever before due to the expansion of their staff, the public’s expectations of the president, a weakened congress, and technological changes. Our last two presidents, George Bush and Barack Obama, have faced widespread criticism for their “imperial” actions which can put them over the law and allow them pseudo legislative…

    President Obama is very good at framing his words so that the American public can understand him the way he wants them to. Obama made a very eloquent transition into talking about the benefits of his health care system by comparing what he was doing with what some of our finest presidents have done in the past. When Obama was quoting Teddy Roosevelt and how he broke up monopolies, or establishing our national park systems, or when he is talking about Dwight Eisenhower and how the government under his watch started the interstate highway system, he noted that during all of these big changes there was also resistance from the public but if we look back on the matter now we couldn’t live without some of these systems that were put in place. Obama has framed his words so that the American people can justify supporting him in the decisions he as made during his presidency. Obama is also able to throw any type of blame off on his government and put it back on the American…

    Prez Essay With the largest influence on the worldwide economy and most power military, The United States of America can be considered the most dominant global power there is today. The nation’s identity as a global superpower gives anyone working in the government vastly more power than he or she would have working in another country at a similar position. By that same idea, the president of the United States must be considered the most powerful and influential human in the modern world. However, there is a large portion of the president’s power that he or she was never meant to have.…
