Barack Obama's Influence On War

For many years, American Presidents were viewed as being white and powerful leaders. Why were they only white? Is it because Americans felt Blacks were not smart enough to run a country on their own? African Americans were viewed as less dominate people and have been discriminated because of the color of their skin. In 2008, Barack Obama was elected President of the United States making him the first black president ever. In this paper, I will discuss how Barack makes a change and if America can accept him as our first black president.

Barack Hussein Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States on Tuesday, sweeping away the last racial barrier in American politics with ease as the country chose him as its first black chief executive. The election of Mr. Obama amounted to a national catharsis- a repudiation of a historically unpopular Republican president and his economic and foreign policies, and an embrace of Mr. Obama’s call for a change in the direction and the tone of the country. But it was just as much a strikingly symbolic moment in the evolution of the nation’s fraught racial history, a breakthrough that would have seemed unthinkable just two years ago.

Through the past century, the quest for racial equality has been a continuous trail of successes and milestones.

Changing the rule to more transparency, more ethical, and counterterrorism policies nimbler (Jessica Stern 2015-62). Since US army, military forces, agencies, and coalition forces left Iraq. There was a big gap in power, authority, and civil war going on. However, this wasn’t something new, it was going for ears but in small scale. Once US left Iraq in December 2011. That leaded to free movement of terrorist groups and fighter in middle east, especially Iraq and Syria. The military action is the cure for this vacuum now. “When the IS advance was stalled by coalition air strikes later this summer, IS militants and equipment melted into urban landscapes, operated at night, and distributed their forces into smaller tactical units, while limiting unsecure cell phone and radio communications. They deployed mines and improvised explosive devices to deny mobility and frustrate counter-offensives by Iraqi and Kurdish forces in Tikrit and Jalawla. Mines proved an especially effective means to passively control key areas because they are not vulnerable to airstrikes. Removal requires time-consuming and dangerous clearance techniques

Barack Hussein Obama will go down in history as a very illustrious person that has had a major impact on the world. Barack Obama grew up in a middle-class like home and was raised by his maternal side of his family. While the young Obama was excelling in school, he struggled to truly fit in with a certain race, as he was deemed to white for the blacks and too black for the whites.

The American political system is the base for the control, regulation, and safety of the United States. The government has the power to allow a nation to prosper and grow, but also to suffer and hurt. Throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries, American politics has undergone serious changes, evolutionizing into something much more than its original political functions. American politics has begun to modify itself into more of a source of entertainment than a system capable of upholding the rules and protecting our country. The policies and decisions of the Obama administration have created an election focused primarily on the negative outcomes of Obama’s presidencies. Even traveling back to the Bush era, the people want a strong and confident leader, capable of change. The current standstill in congress and the inability for Obama to pass and execute much reform has created more chaos in a quickly weakening system. The American people seem to be ready for change; yet the 2016
