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.
Presidential Debate The first presidential debate was held last week at the University of Denver, Colorado. There were high expectations not only for the magnitude of the event but also because the candidates running for president this time are facing perhaps the biggest challenges that the country has faced in a very long time; economic growth keeps slowing down, the unemployment rate is very high, and the fiscal cliff remains latent. This debate focused its attention on the economy proposals of the candidates. President Obama and his counterpart Mitt Romney, exposed their plans to recover the economy of the country; both of them addressed the importance of adding more jobs to the economy, reducing public spending, fostering the creation
In a numbers sense of the issue, it just seems completely absurd to be fighting over hundreds of thousands of dollars while they are making millions in a country where even dangerous and exhausting public service jobs pay just thousands. This is why Heeb also introduces a new perspective to the reader in which he still uses pathos and logos. “I am a high school teacher/coach from Missouri. In 2007, the average teacher in Missouri made $42,246.67. In 2009, that number increased by 1.19% to $42,750.
Presidential Election of 2012 The Presidential election is a very important election that each of us should take seriously. In choosing a President for our country, we have to look at the candidates and decide which ones beliefs can help the county the most. This year, we have numerous candidates from the Republican Party and only one from the Democrat Party running for President of the United States. President elect Barack Obama, Democrat candidate, is gearing up for a second term; his major platforms are national healthcare, decreased unemployment rate and stimulating economy for the country. Presently, the national healthcare plan presented to Congress is one of great concern and after four years of debate is
American’s can’t “pinpoint any lasting way in which the stunning attacks brought Americans together, strengthened our national character, made us more willing to sacrifice or even changed the daily routine for most citizens of the United States”. The shaky economy is still present today, the United States’ GDP accounted for about 23 present of the world’s outputs. Today that has gone to about 19 present. The nation is in debt, 5.8 billion in 2001 and now over 15 trillion in 2011 which is about 100 present GDP. People wanted a memorial for 9/11 but this will cost the country more money and that fact that it will put them even more under isn’t helping either.
Shawn Howell Professor Leyva October 09, 2012 Writing Journal #3 The Presidential Debate On October 03, 2012 the presidential debate between President Obama and Governor Mitt Romney began with moderator Jim Lehrer. I watched the debate wondering, what will the candidates state in their plans to recuperate the United States of America? How will they perform? Will their speeches and performances be convincing to the people of America. In performance, I witnessed both candidates being respectful to one another yet Mitt Romney presented a stronger opposition and was aggressive at times.

In today’s current news nothing is more prominent than that of the American government and it’s struggles. The American Economy has been a main focus of thousands of Americans for the past few years. A lot that has been argued deals with the massive difference between the upper 1% of the nation and the angry 99% of the rest. Occupy Wall Street deals with these angry 99% looking for some sort of reciprocation from these individuals and the hopes that they can began to enjoy their lives without the fear of becoming broke and possibly homeless due to the failing economy of the U.S.A. ("Occupy Wall Street"). This movement has highly appealed to the youth of this nation especially that of the college graduate students that are still struggling to
Reagan made a model budget plan in 1981 by putting together legislation that would cut government expenditures by $40 billion, and would create a three year tax cut plan for each American and corporate income tax. It was the largest tax cut in history and it was meant to jump start the economy, but after 1981, the exact opposite happened and America fell into to the worst recession since the Great Depression. The next thing I’d like to talk about is How religion affected Politics in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Ronald Wilson Reagan was an Evangelical Christian, and answered all America’s problems with a “Christian” oriented answer. He believed that Communism was absolutely evil, and wanted to put a stop to it completely.
One of the sectors where Canadians are still feeling the pressure is employment. The U.S stock market crash has been important for many reasons, the most important between them being the damage on wealth. Estimates differ on exactly how much citizens, corporations lost, but most figures are around the tens of trillions mark.

The American market crash is being felt worldwide.
