When Barack Obama announced his candidacy for President of the United States, I personally, believed that he had little chance of winning and as I addressed in my book, “On the Shoulders of Greatness,” he wasn’t my original choice for President. I was and continue to be a big supporter of Hillary Clinton because I believe she is a strong, extremely qualified and extraordinary woman. Her strengths and capabilities have been reflected on so many levels in both her personal life and in her…

Bush and Obama’s foreign policy stance can be directly seen in certain speeches they delivered. While Bush’s crusading rhetoric is seen in his September 20 address and his ‘Axis of Evil’ speech, Obamas emerging pragmatic and realist rhetoric can be seen in his inaugural address given in January, 2009.

South (CNN). The 2008 Obama-Biden election compares to the 1960 John F. Kennedy-Lyndon B. Johnson election. During his campaign, Obama was compared to Kennedy through their ability to easily speak to people. They were both young, charismatic men when they ran for President.

Obama and Biden were the…

In making these remarks, Obama reveals what he wants to achieve for the nation. Obama’s ultimate goal is to try to…
