2008

2016 presidential candidate. The office of the Presidency of the United States of America has always been, and will most likely continue to be, a reflection of what this great nation wants its leader to be in 2016. A short analogy: Consider that in 2008, the United States was reeling from the presidency of George W. Bush, a man with feigned a southern drawl and “down home” naiveté in order to set the USA on a course with disaster. At the end of his Presidency, the pendulum swung in favor of a…

Arkansas, Clinton practiced law and was named one of the most powerful lawyers in the United States. In 2001, Mrs. Clinton served as a New York senator and was reelected in 2006. The following year, she announced that she planned to partake in the 2008 presidential race. She withdrew from the race when it became clear that Barrack Obama would win the Democratic nomination. Mrs. Clinton later served as Secretary of State under President Obama. Clinton is also the first woman candidate to be…

Social media is used to get through to so many people in an immediate approach. Aside from connecting with people, social media is now been publicized in politics. (Treuren) Barack Obama was a profound leader by using social media as a platform for the 2008 Presidential Election. He won his election by getting his message through to so many people because of social media. (Carr) After all, social media is a…

In the second point, I believe that social media helped to overcome the “free rider” problem during the Arab spring movement. Because social media was used as a vehicle to gather likeminded citizens for demonstration, to overcome the social problem of the free riders in a the case of collective action, however this is not the case in ever revolution on social media, because there are cases where a person can say that they will be attending an event on social media and decide not to show up or…

Georgia voter participation and voter turnout have varied over the years. Georgia is one of the strongest opening states to require a picture ID to cast an in person ballot and make it count. Nevertheless, photo ID is not commanded to cast an absentee ticket in Georgia. A number of residents of Georgia strongly supported the voter ID law to attack fraud during the election process. On the other hand, some labeled it a Jim Crow-era that would suppress the minority votes. Georgia offered all…

On January 20, 2009 Barack Obama was inaugurated in as the 44th President of the United States of America. I was eleven years old, a fifth grader in Mrs. Crawford’s class. I clearly remember all students gathered in the library, as a bulky television rolled in on a black cart that we used before projectors and Smart Boards were implemented in public schools. On the television, we all watched our President be sworn in. It was the first time I could ever remember watching an inauguration. I say…

The 2016-2017 presidential election is known as one of the most iconic elections in modern history. In the beginning of the election there were 17 candidates in the republican party and 8 in the Democratic party, and all candidates but two dropped out. The last candidates remaining were Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump, and the election named after them was called “Crooked vs. Crazy”. This election, to most Americans, did not have the most honorable candidates to vote for, but it was a matter of…

Whenever the world trends towards parapolitics, I find it unfortunate that much of the country fails to understand what parapolitical analytics are and why they are important to understand. The main political structure in this country is flawed, not because it was flawed during its construction, but only because it has suffered throughout its evolution. To many, this is not obvious. Those who try to point out the obvious are shut down and told that they are spoiling the process of government by…

The Battle for Souls In the midst of an ever changing political spectrum, that is affecting the African-American community in non-optimistic ways, a theoretical, theological conflict within the Black Church will have great impact on the directions of politics and how to combat and address future challenges to bring forth progress for the Black Community (Harris p. 75). Historically, one of the most important institutions within the Black community, the Black Church has been instrumental in…

The first example is Barack Obama. First off, under this very liberal president, the United States economy has been at the worst it has been since the end of the Great Depression. In fact, since he took over in 2008, the number of people living off government money has grown a monstrous amount as he continues to add trillions of dollars on to the United States’ already enormous debt. It is not just his fault, for the congress may have had a chance to fix his mistakes…
