Inauguration of Barack Obama

On january 21st President Barack Obama made a speech that would much relate to the speech Dr. Martin Luther King once made on August 28, 1963. They both believed that one day the country would come together and a great nation would be formed. That everyone would get the opportunity to be treated equally. They also believe that this country cannot function without everyone coming together as a nation. In Obama’s speech he will be talking a lot about bring the nation back together and that…

clinics. Americans that don’t have private health care this coming year are looking at a 25% increase, leaving an abundance of uninsured that will be at risk of going bankrupt if any major medical bills arise. Given these points, President Obama and his administration have disappointed and failed the American populace. The United States citizens put faith in his words that he would bring change to this country in our time of need. Instead of change he brought a feeling of despair and…

economic conditions of the 1930’s in America were and amplified version of what we experienced in the 2008 recession. The circumstances, policies, and reception of these changes were very much alike. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and President Barack Obama’s actions in their terms as President are comparable, especially their trademark policies: The New Deal of 1933 and The Affordable Care Act of 2010, respectively. These policies inadvertently stretched the power of the Federal…

January 20, 2009 Barack Obama was inaugurated in as the 44th President of the United States of America. I was eleven years old, a fifth grader in Mrs. Crawford’s class. I clearly remember all students gathered in the library, as a bulky television rolled in on a black cart that we used before projectors and Smart Boards were implemented in public schools. On the television, we all watched our President be sworn in. It was the first time I could ever remember watching an inauguration. I say all…

your opinion, it seems that the disagreements never stop. Particularly for one thing: our nation's healthcare. Barack Obama, our forty fourth president proposed a new health care act, The Affordable Care Act or “Obamacare” shortly after he became elected. An act that congress said they will read after they pass it, an act that some say was passed illegally. With the upcoming inauguration of Donald Trump many people with liberal views or people who support Obamacare are worried that it will be…

Drones As technology advances, the United States military (the most prestigious military of the world), find new innovations to better their strategy of attack. Drones are remote-controlled pilotless aircrafts that the government has refused to make detailed statements about to the public; the only sources of information of their aftermath are journalists that are documenting in the area.

alleged role in the riot. Modi also openly criticized Washington for mistreating Devyani Khobragade, a junior Indian diplomat in New York, over her the complaint by her maid. America has already sought to mend the fences through friendly gestures. Obama congratulated Modi warmly at his election and sent Secretary of State John Kerry to visit India. On a broader level too, Washington and New Delhi have had their differences for a long time. During the Cold War, India was closer to the Soviet…

While thinking of a revolutionary leader, Congressman John Robert Lewis came to mind. As a courageous transformational leader, he began his journey with the need of equality for African Americans. He was one of the "Big Six" leaders of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In his early mission for equality, he challenged the law and with determination for change but the justice system let him down. According to his biography, despite more than 40 arrests,…

Similar to Canada’s health care system, President Barack Obama implemented the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act provides Americans with affordable and quality health insurance. To make health care more affordable in the United States, the legislation includes new benefits, rights and protections, rules for insurance companies, taxes, tax breaks, and funding (Affordable Care Act Summary). I believe that the Affordable Care Act, also referred to as Obamacare, is beneficial for…

The American dream People are shot and killed every day. There are thousands of lives taken every day for simple reasons that some countries cannot provide for their citizens. Work being at an all-time low in other countries and family’s going hungry, there is just one answer. The American Dream of course. For over 200 years’ people have come to America in search of freedom, shelter, work, and anything else they wish they had in their last country. America is called a melting pot for a reason…
