Obama’s secret mission was a success, unlike Carters dismal failure. Obama then allowed his country to celebrate after years of fear following 9/11, Bush neglected praising the American people after the end of the Cold War. In one instance Obama showed that he could achieve what Carter and Bush were unable to do, achieve something truly significant and let America know it. Obama’s foreign policy accomplishments clearly separate him from Carter and Bush, economic policy is the overriding issue in ever election and again Obama displays that he doesn’t fall into the same category as Carter and
The most notable of these, of course, was the 2009 stimulus plan, which is still the subject of debates today. These debates center around whether it was necessary and what level of help it actually offered to the majority of the American people. While many Democrats will point to the decline of the unemployment rate as proof that Obama’s policies are working, there are those on the Republican side that disagree. The Republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, has stated, “His policies have not worked. They have not gotten American back to work again... I’m going to get America working again.” (CNN Politics).
When evaluating the arguments raised on both sides it I believe that the Electoral College should be replaced by a national popular vote. An argument that exposes the weakness of the Electoral College and why it should be replaced by a national popular vote is because the ‘winner takes all’ system distorts the results of the elections. There have been various results in which the popular vote did not reflect the results of the Presidential election. A notorious example of how distorted results can be under the Electoral College is that of Bush and Al Gore in 2000.

Innovative plans to jump start the country's economy and ground breaking civil rights where soon being produced from the young president. While the speech’s respectful eloquence is appropriate for the occasion of an inauguration, its youthful energy and look to the future make it distinctly John F. Kennedy’s. He uses many rhetorical strategies to inspire, motivate, bring out respect, astonishment, and hope from his wide American audience. Kennedy had just won a long hard fought campaign, yet chose not to focus on the policies that helped him win specifically. The goals he states strongly appeal to ethos, by making connections with the everyday American citizen.
The halftime super bowl commercial truly does support the idea of the company’s persistence. Marchionne took on the once thought impossible task with the help of the Bush and Obama administration. Still, Several politicians, such as Karl Rove, who argues that the ad was a strategically placed commercial used to praise and support Obama during the 2012 reelection, feeling the need to “repay their political patrons,” (Stewart). Although these ideas are brought about, Marchionne continues to stand on his current position over the ad. “We are as apolitical as you can make us…” states Marchionne; he continues to say the ad was a tribute to Chrysler employees, and how the ad was used “because it says something…about the resilience of America,” (Bury).
Clinton's testicle lockbox is big enough for the entire Democrat hierarchy, not just some people in the media." , and then there was Chris Matthews and he said , “The reason she's a U.S. senator, the reason she's a candidate for president, the reason she may be a front-runner is her husband messed around." . Although these are clearly Republican pundits, these remarks made people start thinking more of her as a woman rather that a qualified person for President. My Grandfather, a die hard Democratic, believes that Bill Clinton was the best president we have ever had, but he thought maybe Mr. Clinton came out a little arrogant.
As people were not able to have a “connection” towards the candidates, they felt outcaste to what was really happening. “One of the great contributions expected of television lay in its presumed capacity to inform and stimulate the political interest of the American electorate. (Source A)” It also decides on whether or not the network company decides to broadcast certain interviews the way they were interviewed. All the potential is there for television to help inform the American public with the promised contributions to the country. The news source needs to help make the broadcasted presidential debate more about the issues and less about the image.
The Journey to the White House: Barack Obama Whenever a new president of the United States is elected, history is made. But never has it been made so dramatically as it was on November 4, 2008, when American’s voters chose Barack Obama as our 44th president. With his election into the White House, Obama defeated much apprehension by becoming the first African American president of the nation. So how does a man become the leader of one of the most powerful nations on earth and break all odds along the way? Barack Obama explains with the following quote: “If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress” (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors /b/barack_obama_2.html).
Some may claim that race is the driving force behind the hostility towards the current president and that alone shows it’s importance. The ‘birther’ movement believe that Barack Obama is not a legitimate president, because he was not born in the United States. But, faced with rather overwhelming evidence that he was born in the United States, some birthers are even now claiming that he's not eligible because he was born a dual citizen (of the US and either Kenya or... Britain), making him, again, not eligible. Should race not be important, then movements like this wouldn’t exist and the ethnicity of the president would remain
