Presidential Debate 2012 Tuesday’s debate was punchy between President Obama and Mitt Romney. The debate opened with testy exchanges on energy in which the president accused Romney of ignoring renewable power. But Romney, too, attacked Obama for allowing over rising gasoline prices and faking support for fossil fuels. What was out of the ordinary was that, in the last Presidential Debate, Romney had been the aggressor while Obama was calm and not as irritated. In my personal opinion, I think Obama showed that he can lead the U.S. even in crucial times and that he will fight for us and still manage to keep a positive attitude.
Rick Perry’s Strategy for President After emerging as the Republican nominee for the 2012 Presidential election, Governor Perry has won only half of the battle. He must now take on the charismatic President Obama to become the next President of the United States. In order to do that, Governor Perry must have a cohesive and effective campaign strategy. In this memo, I will outline key points that Governor Perry must follow in order to prevail over President Obama. The topics covered will be: public policy, social and cultural issues, fundraising, a national electoral strategy, and general campaign strategies.
He uses the straw man fallacy, which is achieved when one opponent distracts the audience from the opposing opponent’s position so that it makes them appear ignorant. He masters this fallacy when saying, “President Obama would be running for re-election based on his achievements… and rightly so. But because he has failed, he will run a campaign of diversion, distractions, and distortions” (par. 12). When using the straw man fallacy, Romney tries to make Obama look foolish and act as though Obama’s next term in the Presidency will be helpless.
The organization also publishes a monthly magazine known as the "Multinational Monitor." In 2001, Ralph Nader started up another non-profit organization known as Democracy Rising. This organization was dedicated to ending the War in Iraq, and bringing the troops back to America. The political opinions that Ralph Nader is so well known for would make him one of the highest rated presidents that America has ever seen. In his 2000 bid for the presidency Ralph Nader campaigned against the corporate powers dominance in the political landscape as well as the need for change in the manner of how presidential races are held.
There is a lot to blame on the past administration, for how bad the economy became. But the top priority of the people is to elect a candidate that will move the economy forward. With the election closing in, each candidate had their chance to make there statement in the debates. The President states that the recovery takes time, and there is still a lot of work to be done. While Governor Romney says, with his experience he knows what it takes.
While watching the debate, who got me off my feet and really motivated to vote for them? In all honesty I think both of them proved some points that makes me want to be on both sides. The 2012 Presidential Debate between Mr. Mitt Romney and Mr. Barack Obama was rather interesting, but both candidates had their highlights of the night, where they killed it, and both had their flaws of the night. While watching the Debate I came to the conclusion that candidate Romney seemed very confident in everything he said. He never really hesitated about what he said, he never second guessed, or rephrased what he said.
As the election for the 44th President of the United States closes in on its November election date, many hopeful candidates have come and gone, but only three remain a strong possibility towards reaching the highest role of political excellence. The three candidates are Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and Republican nominee John McCain. There has been much discourse and rhetoric on the democratic side as to what the deciding variable will be for getting that elusive nomination; a criticism that does not reside in John McCain’s campaign because of his quick and swift domination of his party’s candidates to capture the Republican nomination. When running for any public office seat, there is a buffet of topics, Iraq, healthcare and social security to name a few, that the candidate must defend or renounce. If the public is uncertain what kind of
Mr Santorum knew this was a distorted statement as he had voted for the bill when Congress passed landmark welfare reform legislation in 1996 as then a Republican senator from Pennsylvania. The Republican National committee (RNC) realized it was a powerful statement that would move voters as evidenced by Ashley O'Connor a strategist with the RNC was quoted saying "Our most effective ad is our welfare ad,” Another statement made by Romney pollster Mr.Neil Newhouse. “We’re not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers,” meaning they knew the statement they were putting out there was wrong, but went ahead
Our political leaders and Delbanco can both concur that a liberal education is important, but can both see eye to eye that it is what the future economy will be built off of. In our nation it has become more and more difficult for our citizens to attain this college degree, because it is becoming less and less affordable. Alongside both parties, most American’s can agree that a liberal education is important, but neither the Republican Party nor the Democratic Party have made any significant change to better the liberal education system. According to the Obama Administration, President Obama has “proposed incentives for states to maintain their commitments to higher education through a new $1 billion investment” (“Keeping Costs Down”), and Obama has failed to accomplish his proposal. Obama needs to manage the budget a bit more wisely, because the more funding put towards the liberal education system, the more our economy will flourish.
Alexis Smiley Dr. Lowe EH 101-119 December 3, 2012 The Importance of Quality Education The article “In Defense of Elitism”, by William A. Henry III., talks about how he does not agree with letting every student into a college and they do not meet the main requirements as those students who are putting effort forth towards their education. Henry thinks that the schools should raise its standards. He also believes that democracy should demand that all citizens have an equal opportunity, but thinks the egalitarians are taking it too far by insisting all should finish equally. Henry's aversion contends that people cannot learn until they think they can do it; therefore, the starting point of education should build within the individual.
