However, Obama is unique in that during his first term, Obama declared himself to be a reconstructive president. Years leading up to his campaign, and throughout the course of his campaign, his motto has been centered on change, often times even repudiating the Bush administration. His rhetoric is oriented around unity and change especially in 2008,…

seems to be the main reason why she believes that she should be president. Instead of focusing her campaign on policy issues, she has made the whole thing about “making history.” This approach to the election is eerily similar to the strategy that Barack Obama used in 2008, where he distracted the voters from the real issues by using the “race card” and the notion of electing the first black president. Hillary has done the same, except she is using the “woman card” instead of the “race card.”…

America’s College Promise “Forty percent of college students chose community college…Whoever you are, this plan is your chance to graduate ready for the new economy, without a load of debt,” quoted President Barack Obama (Calvert 2). Let’s say you decide to go to a community college after high school. You would most likely be saving a lot of money by going to a community college instead of a four-year school or university. Imagine how much you would save if all fifty states in the U.S. decide…

We Need to Act on Gun Violence). With seeing the statistics written out, supporting just anyone to carry a weapon should definitely be prohibited. It does not appear that Clinton always wanted to prevent gun violence and in 2008 she criticized Barack Obama for his views on people who “cling to guns,” but thankfully those views changed. Regardless of who our President may be, the hope is that better decisions are made when purchasing and using…
