Obama Pros And Cons

Decent Essays
NYT: The article summarizing what the President said. It doesn’t lean towards any side or attempt to credit or discredit him. It does talk about everything Obama has done over the years such as raising creating Obama care and raising the minimum wage. I suppose in a way they did lean towards saying he was a good president.

TDS: Very conservative, says Obama is condescending; saying that Americans who don’t like the way Obama is taking the country are stupid. TDS says it’s ridiculous that Obama only has one regret because he made so many mistakes as president. TDS also claims that Obama created the divide between the parties.

Comparison: TDS is clearly republican, maybe not conservative but republican. NYT doesn't seem to have a political

    Sirota Shortly before the controversial billboard was taken down just a couple of days later, an article written by David Sirota, titled “ Kenneth Cole Gets Schooled” appeared in the liberal political and current affairs website, Salon. In this writing, he criticizes the fashion designer Kenneth Cole and his company’s use of adopting a slogan that dealt with a national debate over unions, particularly teachers, in hopes of capitalizing off of the public’s reaction and response. By exploring the factors that explains the formation of the union such as the education system and accountability, Sirota’s article displays a firm but biased and partial argument in the importance of unions and their role in the education system. A strength within the essay lies in his varied choice of rhetorical strategies.…

    The Pros of a Donald Trump Presidency American politics have always fascinated me. Where else can you find a medium that discusses some of the world's most pressing issues, while at the same time giving you an opportunity to analyze American behavior as it unfolds upon a political system that has influenced many other countries, including the Dominican Republic. But let’s be honest, politics can also be very dull, with its insipid candidates, anticlimactic voting system, and laws worded in such a way that would confuse even Joyce. Thank god for Donald Trump!…

    American fellows! While we are enjoying the air of patriotic pride and the fortune to be one of the most intelligent and thoughtful citizens of the United States, we must stay alert to the critical problems that block our way to establish a divine and peaceful nation. However, the condition and ulterior destiny of the Indian tribes are trembling because of the absolute control of our president Andrew Jackson, regarding his brutal, arbitrary forces and various unjust acts towards Native Americans. His policies resulted in the usurpation of land, attempts to destroy tribal culture, and the forcible removal of Native Americans from homes in Southeastern of our nation to a designated territory west of the Mississippi River. Therefore, in order to save our Native American friends…

    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.…

    I agree completely with both authors that Sarah Palin was not ready for Vice President of the United States. She came off as a babbling, backwoods idiot who didn’t know how to dress or talk. Although, I’m sure she was smarter than either of the authors gave her credit for. She was a conservative and both of the authors wrote for liberal papers.…

    While President Obama is giving his speech at Michigan’s graduation ceremony he starts off by trying to relate to the American people by having to do normal everyday things like commuting in traffic. Obama also wants to connect with the American public by telling them that he reads their letters every day to show them that he is a part of them and not in control of them. He has a progressive mentality when opening up his speech. He is reaching out to the hearts and minds of the average person by telling a heartwarming story about a kid in kindergarten and asking him if people are nice to him. When Obama says “there are some things that we can only do together, as a nation- and that our government must keep pace with the times” I believe that…

    American politics are centered on the split between two major political parties, the Democrats and the Republicans.

Democrats and Republicans have opposing beliefs, regarding political, economic, military, and social matters.…
