Barack Obama

How To Be “The Donald” Have you ever wondered what it would be like to hold the highest office in our land? The prestige, the honor, and the respect that comes with the job is what 43 men have had the chance to experience. And, this year, it was explicit that our nation would have the first women president to take the oath of the presidency. But, there is one orange, beautifully haired man, who refuses to let this transpire and is leading the charge to the democratic frontrunner, Hillary Clinton…

“And if we walk away now, if we simply retreat into our respective corners, we will never be able to come together and solve challenges like health care, or education, or the need to find good jobs for every American.”, said Barack Obama. Healthcare has been implemented in America since the the 1900’s, stemming from President Lyndon B. Johnson’s domestic program, The Great Society. This plan included Medicaid, a program which helped low-income families out with medical costs and Medicare, a…

The Affordable Care Act, or Obama Care, is a law signed and passed in 2010 by President Barack Obama. It was passed because it is supposed to help with the cost, accessibility, and overall quality of health care insurance like Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, etc. However, anyone who doesn't have insurance by 2014 will have to pay a fee and are all but being told that they have to have to choose from a private insurance with higher prices.

Our country has been a refuge and a place to grow as individuals to obtain the “American Dream”. The idea that this country was such a place began in the 17th Century when it was reached by a few Puritans searching for religious freedom and monarch subjects looking or wealth in the form gold. During the 19th Century the United States had gained a virtue of being the land of opportunity. On the east coast there were immigrants from Ireland, Italy, Germany and various other European countries from…

Health care costs are still rather high and can be hard to afford for the self-employed population. German self-employed population are responsible for employee and employer costs in the sick fund insurance. The costs runs in comparison with Obama care purchased base insurance plans. Both health care systems are based off fee for service plans which can drive up costs due to providers performing unnecessary tests to increase earnings. This leads to more expensive treatment options increasing…

The health care system in America is very diverse with different races and cultural groups from a different part of the world. We also have a lot of vulnerable patients from low-income families and people of color; as nurses, we have the duty and responsibilities to advocate for these patients fairly with no discrimination to provide them with the care they need. The purpose of this discussion post is to describe ethical dilemma, health disparities and the current population health, discuss the…

Assuming she did not do enough research using accounts of black women or referencing the struggles of black women.

Traister failed to mention the struggles of black women ansd the struggle they face of carrying the black race butmany times forced to be on the backburner. She mentioned many first ladies and their accomplishments but failed to reference Michelle…

Hip-hop culture has the ability to effect the way people think about politics and how presidential candidates execute their campaigns. This power has been realized recently, especially by President Obama, but we have yet to truly see it reach its full potential. Hip-hop has been around since about the early 1970s, but never had it realized its potential to effect politics until the 2008 presidential election. The starting point of this realization was during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. This…

they most likely didn’t know they were even migrants themselves until they were old enough to understand. In 2001, the DREAM Act was being formed so that these children can have a chance to receive citizenship. Years go by and nothing is done till Barack Obama is president. Then in 2012, DACA was created. It did not give immigrants citizenship but it did allow temporary protection from deportation and apply to get a work permit. The program would only allow two years I believe it is not fair for…

Reflections Each of the inaugural speeches Obama made had quite a different feel to them despite emphasizing similar points.
