Barack Obama 's Last Term Of Presidency

Barack Hussein Obama Jr, the first African American President of the United States, was born on August the 4th 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Obama’s birth is considered as an important turning point for African American’s in history, he was the first African American to serve as a United States president. Barack Obama is currently the 44th president of the United States. He was raised in a middle class family with education being the core of their lives and had very noble values. Obama was a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, he was elected the first African-American editor of the Harvard Law Review. Obama met Michelle Robinson in 1989 in Chicago’s law firm of Sidley Austin as a summer associate and not too long after that they began to date. Obama was a civil rights attorney, community organizer in Chicago where he helped rebuild communities that was devastated by the closure of the local street plants and a teacher at University of Chicago Law School before pursuing a political career. The time Obama spent helping rebuild the communities he that this time of his life “the best education I ever had, better than anything I got at Harvard Law School” (1). For Obama, he explains that from that experience is what contributed to finding his identity and forming the path that he has taken whilst in the white house. Barack Obama won the election in November 4th 2008 and then took office on January the 20th 2009, these two dates were significant days for America.

It is ambiguous as to how President Barrack Obama shapes our politics in terms of our political regime, but it can be determined through the present outcomes of his leadership today. In The Politics Presidents Make, by Stephen Skowronek, describes that there is a life-cycle of inaugurated presidents through the history of the United States. A political regime is defined as a full cycle of presidents that induce change in our politics until it is repeated again. Through this, it is possible to determine where President Obama would stand in our political time. Skowronek also mentions four leadership categories in which past presidents are placed in: politics of reconstruction, politics of disjunction, politics of

Since the early days of our nation, our founding fathers thrived for change. At the peak of his election campaign, Barack Obama promised the change the country had been longing for. He promised a health care reform and new benefits. Many presidents elected after the signing of Roosevelt’s New Deal had tried to achieve health care reform but ultimately none succeeded. Obama promised change; his change came under the name of the Affordable Care Act, a bill that was filled with empty promises. The Affordable Care Act, nicknamed “Obamacare” was supposed to benefit all Americans but instead of helping our nation's citizens, it burdened them. It burdened them with higher taxes, less hours of work, and higher costs

The position of president has evolved in the almost quarter millennium since the framers created the Constitution. The main issues facing the framers included the position’s structure, independence, and power. Although the modern presidency is different from the framers’ design, they would approve of it, since the concerns that the framers had with the executive still have been prevented. When creating the presidency, one issue the framers decided quickly was the structure, particularly having one president. This satisfied the needs of both the Conservative and Radical Republicans, by allowing for quick action, while still providing clear accountability.

Since the early days of our nation, our founding fathers wanted change. At the peak of his campaign, Barack Obama promised the change the country had been longing for. He promised health care reform and new benefits, something that had been tried to achieve by numerous presidents after the signing of the New Deal by President Roosevelt. Obama promised change but not the type he wanted. His change came under the name of the Affordable Care Act, a bill that was filled with empty promises. The Affordable Care Act nicknamed “ObamaCare” was supposed to benefit all but instead of helping our nation's citizens, it burdened them. It burdened them with higher taxes, less hours of work, and higher costs for “affordable”

The presidency of 44th US President Barak Obama has been marked with rather prominent and significant shifts in policy, reverberating throughout many areas of the country. One of the president’s most controversial proposals that has yet to be fully acted upon is providing a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States. Supporters of the legislation point to a variety of moral and economic reasons to justify their position while opponents retaliate with their own concerns about the “fairness” of this policy action. For many against this pathway, citizenship is a delicate conceptual idea that already has a clearly defined pathway within the United States. Citizenship is often a rather subjective

In November 2008, Democratic Presidential Candidate Barak Obama became the first African-American President to the United States. He had coined the word “change” to his first campaign, insuring Americans that if he were elected there would be “change”. Through two-terms the Obama Administration has demonstrated the most controversial change of all, the passage of the Affordable Care Act, a health reform law enacted in March of 2010. With many flaws evident in the roll out of the Affordable Care Act, we can now question should the President and Congress repeal it and start over from scratch, as many GOP members and critics have suggested; or should all parties attempt to fix the evident flaws through bi-partisan negotiation and action

To start off Obama’s action blatantly ignores the separations of powers and the principle our country was founded on.(cnn.com) This tells me that Obama is not the right person to have the powers that others have had, because he hasn’t been on top of what he should be doing. Next to that, in the article it stated, “President Obama is not above the law and has no right to issue executive amnesty.”(cnn.com) This shows me if he is not above or thinking about the law how are we supposed to be safe? He needs to show the people why they voted for him. Furthermore, president Obama has said 22 times he does not have the power to legislate on immigration.(cnn.com) This is important because it tells us that Obama is not the right person to have the powers that others have hard. It tells me that because he hasn’t been on top of what he should be

Barrack Obama’s tenure as President of the United States is coming to a close and voters should understand how to gather reliable information on new candidates, such as Jeb Bush. Even though paying attention to all four major types of media platforms; digital, legacy, a candidates’ own media, and social media, creates a sound informative opinion on Republican Presidential hopeful Jeb Bush, digital media provides voters with the most holistic view. The benefits of digital media, throughout the week of September 15th through the 22nd, created an opportunity to construct a different point of view on Bush and what he stands for.

A key issue during the 2008 presidential campaign and Obama’s administration was interest groups and lobbyists. Obama had to deal with interest groups all throughout his presidency, whether it was dealing with Congress or his interaction with committees. Over time interest groups have taken on a larger and more important role in government. The interaction between interest groups and Obama played an influential role in shaping his presidency.

Historical Background of the policy: The Obama campaign of 2010 was a driving force to establish a better quality of health insurance for all Americans who were uninsured. Before the act was passed nearly 102 million Americans were in health insurance policies with lifetime limits; it was estimated that as many as 20,000 people annually could be denied coverage for care due to those limits (The Affordable Care Act: the impact of health insurance reform on health care consumers: hearing of the committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pension, United States Senate, One Hundred Twelfth Congress, first section..January 27, 2011., 2013). Most beneficiaries who have reached their lifetime limits are seriously ill, which results to them having to use their benefits but instead of receiving it they have already ran out just when they needed the coverage the most. Another problem that corrupted the health care field was young adults going without health insurance from their jobs because of the fact employers were not offer plans, it being too costly, or individuals not being ineligible for their parent’s coverage due to their age. Cancellation among policy or were required to pay a higher expense for coverages that provided service for pregnant and nonpregnant women. Employers suffered dealing with offering employees’ high insurance coverage or not offering it at all. Also, individuals who suffered from preexisting conditions rather it was an elderly or a child they were either

“This is our time… to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that out of many, we are one ; that while we breath, we hope…” ~ Barack Obama (Barack Obama Working to Make a DIfference) The United States of America not only had to seek out the criminals and then rebuild its security on the homefront from the terrorists attack on September 11, 2001, but the United States embraced equality by making Barack Obama President in 2008.. Along with the troubles America faced in the 2000 's, there were also occasions of excitement as Apple launched the first ever ipod in October 2001 . The 2000s is the decade to remember, and to never forget.

At the conclusion of President Barack Obama’s historical consecutive terms in office there is going to be a large number of candidates that are vying for the nominations of the respective parties. Due to the constitutional term limits imposed on the President, Obama is barred to seek re-election in 2016. While there are about 10 candidates running for the republicans, there are only two still in the running for the Democratic Party. The way candidates are recognized by their respective parties to become a candidate for the United States Presidency is first by receiving an invitation to compete in the primaries, then being included in the nationwide polls, as well as being on the ballot for at least 75% of all states. At the conclusion of the February 1st caucus there were 3 Democrats and 10 republicans who were still in the Presidential race, since then one Democratic candidate had dropped out.

Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4th, 1961. He went to Harvard Law School. After his graduation, continued his legal work as a civil rights lawyer and a professor teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago. He was elected to the Illinois State Senate in 1996. He served there for three terms (1996-2004). Later on, he started his campaign in 2007 for the presidential election in 2008. He won the presidential election against John McCain, his Republican opponent and started serving in the office in January 20, 2009. He became the 44th President of The United States of America. He is more well-known for being the first African-American who ever served in The White House.

After a gruelling long primary for both major parties, the Republican and Democratic Parties, Hillary Clinton emerged as the favorite-to-win the 2016 election, and several magazines stating before Election Day that Clinton had already won. On November 8th, Newsweek released “125,000 copies” of magazines with the title of “Madam President: Hillary Clinton’s historic journey to the White House” (Greenslade). During the Democratic Primaries, Hillary Clinton’s campaign had already decided on Tim Kaine to be her Vice-President, and decided whom to pick for her Cabinet. Additionally, Hillary Clinton was endorsed by The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and a dozen of other newspapers, and endorsed by hundreds of politicians, celebrities, businessmen, and activists, thus, a great sum of people had confidence that she would win the 2016 Presidential Election (Berke, Harrington). The day before Election Day, pollsters from various organizations, such as New York Times, FiveThirtyEight, and the Huffington Post, predicted Hillary Clinton would win the Presidency of the United States by overwhelming margins, such as 85%, 71%, and 98% respectively.
