Parts of President Obama’s presidency was strange, depressing and dramatic in certain incidents. One incident Obama commanded a special attack on pirates off the coast of Somalia and greatly prepared the nation for a swine flu outbreak that was terrifying the American people. Obama led the nation through many challenges more difficult, perhaps, than the terrorist bombings of the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013. Three people killed and left more than 200 injured, but at the memorial service in…

There wasn’t a proper size venue in town, so the festival was held at Max Yasgur’s 600-acre dairy farm in Bethel, New York. Artie Kornfeld’s cousin, Lenore, was neighbors with the nephew of Max Yasgur. Kornfeld asked Lenore to give Max Yasgur’s nephew his number to get in contact about holding the festival at his farm. Max Yasgur agreed to their proposal, and his dairy farm became the most important location in music history. John Roberts, Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfield, and Michael Lang wanted…

In contemporary American politics, there are two major political parties that seem to dominate every election. These two political parties are known as the Democratic Party and the Republican party, from the textbook “We the People” written by authors Ginsberg, Lowi, Weir, and Tolbert we understand that each political party has their own views, some similar and others completely different as well. These different parties were created to cater to the American people by giving them the option to…

My position on this issue is the opposite, politicians doesn’t always have to be truthful. As a matter of fact, politicians lie because the people doesn’t want to hear the truth. If two candidates running against each other, the one who tells the public what they want to hear instead of the truth will win the election. The one who tells the truth will loses out. An example could be the 1988 presidential election. You might recall the famous lie, "Reeeaaad myyy llliiipsss, nnoooo neeewww…

In my opinion, there a lot of different aspects voters need to know about when voting for any seat, whether it be town council, mayor or President of the United States. There are hundreds of ideas and values that need to be addressed and in no way can they be addressed in one instance. Using these debates to inform the public about their views on popular issues such as abortion and torture is understandable, and I believe having multiple debates to discuss these matters are important. However,…

In the last presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump Hillary mentioned that Donald Trump has not paid any federal taxes. Hillary wants Trump to release his tax returns and she mentions “ maybe he's not as rich as he says he is.” While Donald’s Trump son, Eric Trump says the total opposite he said that his dad has paid “tremendous amount of taxes.” There exists a report from the New York Times, it was published based on a 1995 state tax document that showed that Donald…

After election night, and everyday since, the United States of America has been in uncharted waters. With Trumps ascendancy to the highest office in the nation, progressives from coast to coast experienced a collective disorientation. Overnight we have transitioned from a nation passing landmark legislation such as the Affordable Care Act, to egregious court orders banning the passage of those who see America as a shining city on top of the hill. Now America, and the ideas of progressivism, are…

Born in 1941. Bernie Sanders started out his political career in the early 70’s but wouldn’t come to actually hold a political office until 1981 when he won mayoral race in Burlington, Vermont’s biggest city by a mere 10 votes. Bernie ran as an independent and winning the race was a big shock for many knocking off a six-term local mayor. I chose to do this paper on Bernie Sanders because, over the last 6 years I have become heavily interested in the political state of this country and world. The…

“Transcript of President Bush’s Speech Before a Joint Session of Congress, Sept. 20, 2001” was an address given by President George W. Bush nine days after the 9/11 terror attacks. President Bush began by addressing the widow of a fallen hero, and proceeded to thank America as a whole for all the donations, thoughts, and prayers. Bush then briefly commemorates both fallen Americans and other victims from countries around the world. The 9/11 terror attacks were the first attacks on American land…
