Barack Obama 's President Of The United States

President Obama came into office in the aftermath of the disastrous foreign policy record of the Bush administration. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 had served as a “switchman,” leading to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Bush administration exercised unilateral use of force and reluctance to engage the international community. As a result global elites and publics viewed the US unfavorably. The US economy was negatively affected by the costs of the wars coupled with the financial crisis of 2007. It was this environment that defined the contours of the election campaign of 2008. Obama campaigned on the idea of change, which represented a regeneration of America through domestic public policy reform and a return to multilateralism in foreign policy. Both domestic and international publics and elites were galvanized by Obama’s message.

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

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.

Comparing the writings of the current president, Barack H. Obama, and the first and most iconic president, George Washington, is very intriguing. George Washington’s Farewell Address talks about his hopes for the future of the country but wishing to retire from presidency. Barack Obama’s inaugural address presents his hopes for changing the country during his presidency. The beliefs of our country’s figurehead have stayed relatively similar when it comes to factions and military usage but, in some cases, have changed drastically especially in terms of foreign relations.

President Barack Obama will be seen as one of “the great presidents” by Historians. President Obama’s presidency will be seen as Historic because he was the first African American President. He served four years and was reelected for a second term with a high number of votes. He will be seen as great for his important accomplishment with the economy, healthcare, national and international leadership and more.

We as a country have preformed many interventions as part of our foreign policy. The majority of the time the President of the United States has the primary responsibility to shape foreign policy, alongside with the United States Congress. The Senate must approve all treaties. The State Department is directed to define and carry out that mission. (Per United States Constitution). The goals of our foreign policies are created and enforced by our State Department. There job is to define and direct our foreign policies. Foreign Policies include the following: Preserving the national security of the United States, Promoting world peace and secure global environment, Maintaining a balance of power among the nations, Working with allies to solve international problems, Promoting democratic values and human rights, Furthering the cooperation of foreign trade and global involvement in international trade

In 1789, America saw the election of its first President, a man whom Americans could finally claim as their own after years of oppression by Great Britain, George Washington. The election of Washington symbolized the end of a period of confusion for America and the beginning of an unofficial precedent for the next 220 years. After Washington’s term ended, forty-two Caucasian males held the title of the President of the United States of America until January 20, 2009. January 20, 2009 signified the culmination of 220 years of American tradition and the inception of a new era as Barack Hussein Obama assumed office, becoming the first African American in American history to do so. President Obama’s inauguration was also monumental for the African-American community because never before had a black male simultaneously occupied the highest position in the United States government and society. Although President Obama earned the honorary title as President, we should also recognize and honor his many other accomplishments during Black History Month.

Many leading political analysts have agreed that the Trump presidency has marked a change in the American public's opinion on United States involvement in the rest of the world, the first shift post-Cold War. They are in agreement that Trump’s rhetoric has been reminiscent of the “American First” movement that supported an anti-interventionist policy pre-World War 2, but they are decidedly not in agreement about where the United States should go from here. Some believe that the United States should focus on rebuilding the State Department to encourage diplomacy, others believe that “America First” is the right approach, some believe that the US should continue support of trade agreement and involvement

There is an innumerable amount of ways someone can measure Obama’s first two years in office to try to define whether his presidency has been a success or failure. Issues relating the economy, domestic policy, and national security and foreign policy are the major topics in which many of those controversial issues lie. The easiest ways to determine whether or not Obama has been successful, is to look at his accomplishments as President, look at the principle promises he made regarding those issues prior to and during his time in office, and lastly the public’s overall rating of his presidency. After looking at all of those factors, I have determined that Obama has failed as President after the first two years being in office.

Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States. Obama made history on January 20, 2009 when he was sworn in as the nation’s first black president; he won re-election in 2012 against Republican challenger Mitt Romney. In the 2008 Presidential election Barack Obama made headlines once he announce he was running for the Democratic nomination against Hillary Clinton. Over his first 100 days in office, Obama persuaded Congress to not only expand health care insurance for children but provide security for women seeking equal pay.

The main focus of the intellectual biography, Reading Obama: Dreams, Hope, and the American Political Tradition by James T. Kloppenberg, is on President Obama 's ideas, how he thinks, but also his views on American politics. Kloppenberg describes in detail the events throughout Obama 's life that have influenced his thinking and molded him into the type of politician, and man, he is today. He explains that Obama 's main philosophy throughout his scholarship has been pragmatism. In the introduction of the book, Kloppenberg says “Barack is a product of three distinct developments:

American history. After age of failed policies and failed politics from Washington, this is our chance to reclaim the American dream. Barack Obama has turned out to be a new kind of leader–one who can bring people together, be honest about the challenges we face, and move this nation forward. In that location were several unique aspects of the 2008 election.

November 5th 2008 was a historical day for the American nation. On this day President Barack Obama gave his victory speech. In the speech Obama addressed multiple things that he wants to accomplish. He uses many ways to connect with the audience and gives them hope to change America. He remains humble and shows character by giving all the credit to the people. He uses a lot of ethos, pathos and logos to persuade the audience that he will do good and honest work in the office.
