Barack Obama

In his speech entitled “A More Perfect Union,” Barack Obama asserts that while we may differ from one another, Americans also have some important things in common. For example, Obama states that “…we may have different stories, but we hold common hopes…” and that “…we may not look the same and we may not have come from the same place, but we all want to move in the same direction.” I agree with Obama’s claims because everyone wants to succeed in life. No matter how or where a person was raised,…

Barack Obama is by far one of the most important political figures in existence. He will be remembered for more than the average president, and has been working towards a better future for the american people since before he was in office. Barack Obama is known for his efforts in office such as reforming the American education system, as well as trying to solve the complicated and violent issues that worry us in the middle east. One way his efforts have been recognised is with the Nobel Peace…

The 2008 presidential election was the 56th presidential election and was held on November 4, 2008. Democrat Barak Obama was against Republican John McCain. The parties’ candidates focused mostly on change and reform in Washington, but in the last few months of the election campaign domestic policy and the economy surfaced as the main issues after the 2008 economic crisis. Obama’s ability to ensure voters that he could handle the economic crisis at the time and voters disapproval of the outgoing…

Barack Obama is known for his impeccable and invigorating way of speaking, whether it be to a small crowd or the United States in its entirety. He has a strong understanding of his audience and how to speak to them in a way that makes his message known and his notions preferable. Obama’s 2012 acceptance speech is full of rhetoric strategy and concepts that fall within the concepts of pathos, ethos, and logos. This is a speech that connects Barack Obama to his audience by use of emotion, with…

the US know who Barack Obama is. However, many of them don’t know about some of the things that he did that makes him a hero. Obama was born in August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii. He was born into a family of poverty. Obama’s father, Barack Obama Sr., obtained a Harvard scholarship, and he left the family to go to college, leaving his wife and son. His wife remarried later to a man named Lolo Soetoro, and she and Obama moved to Indonesia to be with her new husband. While Obama lived in…

there was a historical presidential race taking place between Barack Obama and John McCain. John McCain was a seventy-two year old Republican, who's campaign became extremely difficult because his running mate Sarah Palin was oblivious when it came to foreign or domestic policy, in addition to the 2008 Republican President's low approval rating and the financial crisis. Eventually, as the race dwelled on, Obama won the hearts of voters. “Obama carried not only Democratic strongholds in New…

Chapter Nine. Torture in New Hampshire. John McCain vs Barack Obama. That is what Charles Pierce talks all about in this chapter. To my surprise, Charles is for the most part in between the then presidential candidates at the time. Charles also has a go with Sarah Palin. “While Obama merely bowed clumsily in the direction of Idiotic America, John McCain set up housekeeping there. Desperate to dissociate himself from the previous administration, which had spent seven years crafting policies that…

he only Inauguration I have attended, and probably the only one I ever will attend, was Barack Obama’s first, eight years ago. My wife and I were nearly broke, but we gathered money from the life insurance left by my mother, who had died of lung cancer six weeks before the election. We wrapped our California kids, ages five and three, in a million layers of clothing and hats, filled thermoses with soup and hot chocolate, shared hand-warmers among us, and packed as though we were braving the…

initial four years, White House concerns revolved around the two wars and the economic crisis. With U.S. troops n Afghanistan and Iraq headed home and an underway economic recovery, the second inauguration was a good platform for President Barrack Obama to set his priorities. In his speech, he talked about more divisive issues and had sharper lines compared to his inauguration speech in 2009. Generally, the speech is well measured. It has a great deal of logic and triggers a somber mood. It is…
