Barack Obama

similarities between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Barack Obama out of their heads. They share many things, such as many social programs , but they differ because their “crises” were almost two worlds apart. Obama faced a slight unemployment rise while Roosevelt faced a large unemployment rate (By. “Obama…”). Many people are aggravated by the comparison; they think it’s unfair to compare someone like Roosevelt to someone like Obama because no one knows what Obama would do if he was put in…

the campaign Obama performed worse than Hillary Clinton did in trial heats against John McCain among racial conservatives, but offset that deficit by performing markedly better than she did among racial liberals. It was also mentioned that the general election vote choice in 2008 was more heavily influenced by feelings about Muslims than it was in either 2004 voting or in McCain-Clinton trial heats. Opinions about Muslims had similarly large effects even for individuals who knew Obama was not an…

nomination race. Senator Barack Obama gave a speech called a more Perfect Union in attempts that it would help him be elected as the next president. He addressed his audience and gave his speech at The National Constitution Center in Pennsylvania. His speech was a response to what his pastor and previous member of his campaign had said. In his speech he addressed issues of racial tension, racial inequality throughout the United States as well as the privileges of whites. Barack Obama used a…

problems that can be tied into the racism issues. Now that Barack Obama has completed his term, President Trump has a bright mind with many new ideas. He is a fresh start that can “Make America Great Again.” Despite the problems faced in Obama’s term, our country is about to face a new presidency, we all have been looking forward to for the next four years. To begin with, the first problem in Obama’s presidency was racism. Barack Obama was the first African American president, which stirred…

President Obama was elected as the 44th President of the United States in 2008 (“Barack Obama”). According to “Barack Obama” he was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. Based upon his education, health care, and civil rights policies, President Obama was a successful President. Presidents Obama’s policies on education helped make a great president. He made it to where the first four thousand dollars of a college education is free to most Americans (“Education”). According to “National Affairs”…

the first black president, I think Obama does send a strong signal to unite various races in the U.S., due to our history of divisiveness among races. Having a president of a different race tells America that no matter what race you are, you can become successful. Although many people would criticize the nation’s choice of president, the majority favors a new look of a man to lead our country. For that reason, what it has meant to me to have President Barack Obama as the first African-American…

after getting elected as president. For example, President Obama promised to ban racial profiling and provide those in smaller crimes, shoplifting or littering, a second chance in the society, or jobs (Barack Obama on Crime). However, ever since Barack Obama became president, Obama promises were being carried out but they are not fully fulfilled due to the fact that the ideas of Obama are not official laws which means that President Obama ideas or promised will not be enacted the way it supposed…

Throughout the speeches of both Barack Obama and Donald Trump, both men shared their views and beliefs on specific topics. Likewise, the views of both men are very analogous when it comes to sharing goals. Despite utilizing diverse rhetorical strategies to give their speeches a meaning, both speeches accomplish similar results. For instance, both Obama and Trump wish for change and unity, but the concept of change is most addressed. Obama, more so, implies the concept of change as in the…

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. Over the course of Barack Obama’s 8 years of Presidency, he has retained hope even when dealing with the doubts of many Americans and made the most difficult decisions of his 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. The…

The article, “Obama welcomes relatives of 1936 African-American Olympians,” by Stephen Whyno, discusses President Obama’s ceremony focused on recognizing the accomplishments of Jesse Owens, Ralph Metcalfe, and the other sixteen 1936 Black Olympiads whose feats were not fully recognized and appreciated at the time. During the ceremony, President Obama stated many times that they set the foundation for black rights and equality. Barack Obama praised the 1936 Olympians for making a statement in…
