Barack Obama 's Path Of Presidency

President Barack Obama did many things to get to the positions he is at now.” Obama himself struggled with his mixed-race identity and sought to figure out how he fit in with the rest of the world”(Source B). He also had many problems growing up and many complications to get through school since he didn’t have much money. But Obama showed great appreciation for the things he had. He went out in his community becoming a great leader. Not only did he go out in his community and be a leader, But he showed great leadership, as a senate and as a president.Barack Obama was more than just an ordinary President, but he showed great leadership, hard work and cared for others than himself.

Dreams from My Father archives Barack Obama’s journey, and struggles, to find his identity. Obama quickly admits that race is an important part of himself, and it is that quest of race and identity that pushes him to question his own uniqueness. Ultimately spanning both worlds of the vastly different cultures of his life in America and his roots in Kenya causes Obama confusion and self-doubt. It is through the steady love of his family that allows Obama to truly find acceptance and identity.

Change does not occur overnight. It takes effort from multiple lives to refine certain aspects of opinions, to amend rights that can be accessible throughout our community. Barack Obama, our first black president of the United States toiled for minorities to have a higher representation along with having their voices hearkened when they were once suppressed. “Waiting on the World to Change” by John Mayor demonstrates the concept of producing innovation for a better society. Along with the lyrics presented, Barack Obama triggered amendments to certain rights, now accessed to everyone today which is revealed in his story Dreams from My Father. These two sources influenced my vision in black politics, where black leaders contribute to that change by encouraging the youth to be actively involved, resolving dropout rates among African Americans and Hispanics. “Waiting on the World to Change” by John Mayer with Barack Obama’s Dreams from My Father changed my thinking in black politics as I first perceived the change being triggered by adults controlling the aspects of the community, but these pieces of text emphasize the importance of African American leaders persuading the underrepresented youth to create that change by being involved realizing the significance of role models persuading the youth to create an impact.

In 1995 Obama published a book called Dreams from my father: a story of race and

The book, Dreams from My Father, is written by Barack Obama, the President of the United States.  This book is written from the past tense as President Obama discusses his lifestyle before he attended Harvard Law school.  The book starts with him describing the scenery of his New York apartment which we can assume is either while he is attending or graduated from Columbia College at Columbia University.  He describes his family's influence on his life and education.  The most influential person to President Obama, from my perspective is his father, Barack Obama, Sr.  His father was influential because he too attended Harvard, his impact on Barack seemed more psychological as well because his father wasn’t always around as him and Barack’s

Obama and King had a connection; they both supported non violence. These two African American Leaders, wanted peace throughout the world, and for the two races of our world today to be equal, peaceful, and not negative. “I Have A Dream” and “Victory Speech” are two amazingly powerful speeches delivered by two big leaders of the American nation: Martin Luther King and Barack Obama.

From the beginning of time , race has seem to be a topic of discussion. There has always been reoccurrences in history about race problems and skin tone issues. Many thought the Civil Rights era would bring a end to race issues in America but that was just a pseudo. By reading , Dreams from my Father , one can get the sense of the struggle for identity and finding a place of belonging. The United States can not escape the historical legacy that it has built over the years when dealing with race. Obama’s famous quote in the book proclaims , “My identity might begin with the fact of my race, but it didn’t, couldn’t, end there (Obama 111). This famous quote signifies Obama need to know more about him; he is proclaiming that although race and ethnicity is just a slight image of who you are , there are many externalities that influence ones identity and how they are formed as a person. Race is something that might always be apart of your identity , but just knowing your race isn’t critically thinking deep enough . One must search deep into their roots in order to understand their true indeitiy and where they belong in this tangled world. During this book, Obama searched sin Kenya for faith, hope , and inspiration through his African ancestry.

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.

Senator Barack Obama perceives that his presidential campaign created an issue with color and not what he gives to his position as a government official. Public journalism has made light of his part as a possibility for the general public. The feedback for being who he is as an individual made him bind together the African-American group and in addition different minorities. Prejudice was a noteworthy issue and left a window of chance open for Senator Barack Obama.

One of the first things Obama addressed in his speech was why he was running at this time. He believed that the only way to overcoming America’s challenges are to come together. We must realize that we all have the same common goal to create a better life for future generations. Obama said, “And this belief comes from my unyielding faith in the decency and generosity of the American people. But it also comes from my own story.” He begins to share his personal story of family background so that the audience can get a deeper understanding of his strong beliefs. He was a child of a

There was three ways “A Dream Fulfilled: The Story Barack Obama” impressed me. One way he impressed me, was how he handle being biracial at the time period of the civil rights movement. Barack having a Kenyan Father and a White American Mother during the middle of the civil rights movement. For example, the book describes Barack resist being a racist himself because at this time everyone is pointing fingers at each other. He stays clear and still be accepting to other. Another way he impressed me, that he’s genuinely wants to help people. He was just in it to become president for selfish reasons. For example, he was a community organizer. The job has low pay and work with stubborn people. He accepted this job because he truly wanted to help

Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father is exactly what it claims to be by title, a story of race and identity. Barack Obama comes from a diverse background, which he explores throughout the book. Having a white American mother and black Kenyan father, he has a different experience than the majority of people in society when it comes to race and identity, however still it seems similar to the experience of many blacks as described in William E. Cross’s Black Psychological theory, the Nigresence Model of Racial Identity Development. While Obama’s experience does not necessarily occur in chronological order according to Cross’s model, in my opinion, it portrays a good example of how someone enters each stage of

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.

There were many other aspects like, as mentioned above, the political circumstances at the time or Obama’s “creative use if the internet” (Greenberg 441) that made him so popular and well-known. However, as David Greenberg also states in his book Republic of Spin, “Obama’s rhetoric built his following” (441). Thus, as the New York Times Magazine has described it, looking retrospectively at Obama’s keynote address, in an article from 2016: “The speech became a touchstone of national unity and a soaring manifesto of hope that would form the foundation of his 2008 presidential campaign”
