Barack Obama

President Obama or his administration, many would agree that he can passionately deliver a great speech. With 2016 being the finale of his 8-year term, the upcoming State of the Union address will be the last one of Obama’s presidency. As he prepares to address the country on Tuesday, January 12 at 9 p.m. ET, many Americans from all sides of the political spectrum are preparing to watch the President’s final formal speech online. The word on the White House streets is that President Barack…

Through the years, we have had a surplus of white male in the office, until 2008 when Mr. Barack Obama was elected. There were many citizens who were upset yet there were some that were excited because the chain was finally broken. Mr. Obama was blasted for being an African American. Recently, in our latest election, we had unique candidates, a female, a Jewish and a man of power. I believe both genders should be…

During the 1900s, many African American people emerged in the public eye such as Martin Luther King, Jr and Malcolm X, who continued to fight for the equality of black people. In 2008, when Senator Barack Obama was the first black male to be elected to be the president of the United States, some people credit this time in history as the day racism died. They believe if Americans can elect a black person to run our country, racism against black people must be something of the past (Brunners,…

for life after college, provided a large job market to help student to get a job after college, and start saving in order to pay back loans. The speaker did good at his Attention Getter by showing a picture of Barack Obama. Everyone laughed because of the exaggerated face expression of Obama. I think he particularly put this picture to make his speech more enjoyable. I think he did a good job on it, so that his speech became more interesting. If the Attention Getter is interesting, so people…

still far off from the rest of the country. The unemployment rate for white Americans as of today is 4.3% while amongst blacks it’s more than double, 9%. These numbers have got to make us stop and think. While we thought with eh election of President Obama that we were on the verge of ending racism in America, these numbers seem to show us that we were sadly way off. In fact, while it has improved it isn’t anywhere near a solved issue. This is something we still need to be focusing on, civil…

“A Nation of Immigrants” Just as any coin has two sides, the debate for legalizing illegal immigrants is the same. Whether illegal immigrants really affect the U.S economy? And whether they should make them legal and get the benefits from them? This creates a huge debate between people that support and against it. If U.S gives the immigrants citizenship, the economy would rise in an enormous way and the U.S government would be able to benefit from them in many ways. An immigrant is a person who…

As demonstrated by the quote from Hirano, Snyder, Ansolabehere, and Hansen, the popular theory of activists controlling primaries suggests that activists not only force candidates to ideological extremes to win primary elections, but they also compel newly elected officeholders to remain more extreme than they normally would. This forces the party to risk losing the seat, because moderate candidates do better in general elections. Activists find primaries easier to take over than general…

All human beings have a different perception of the world around them, leading to a varied desire for how the world should be shaped. Transition? In the following paper, I will argue that the speech given by President Barack Obama at the United Nations on September 20, 2016 can be analyzed from a Realist and a Confucian perspective regarding the issues of peace and power. Despite the progress achieved in society today, the world still remains full of “uncertainty and unease and strife,” with…

The river restoration project created to restore the San Joaquin river to its former glory, therefore It should help the salmon instead of the farmers as Daniel Weintraub explains in his article River Restoration Project Offers a Sprinkling of Hope I agree with Weintraub I believe that the river restoration project should continue for the salmon because the environment has a greater significance than some farmers losing their jobs farmers. I agree with Weintraub because he’s very credible he has…

and congress, whether Democrat or Republican, has attempted to meet this challenge in some way”(Emily smith). After Senator Kennedy passed away, President Obama took over and it takes four months for the bill to be passed out of the House with a 219-212 vote. All republicans and 34 Democrats voted against the plan. On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Affordable care Act into a law. After the law is passed immediate changes are required after 90 days. Furthermore, In June of 2010 they…
