The current election between Barrack Obama and challenger Mitt Romney is about America's future based upon different visions. To fully understand these contrasting views requires examining the stance of each individual in areas such as: the candidate's vision of America, how they differ, the way they are similar and their beliefs on health care / job creation. Together, these elements will highlight the approach they will be utilizing to address a host of problems.

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.

It was a commonly held belief among the Republican party that Mitt Romney was almost a guaranteed win in the 2012 presidential election. This view wasn't necessarily because Romney followed Republican policy to a T but rather because of Obama's disastrous job with the economy in the previous four years. History was well in the minds of most Republicans in that particular matter since no president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt had ever won a presidency after the economy had gone as low as it did and was in a serious struggle to rebound. With this piece of history in the minds of most Republicans the assumptions was history would continue to repeat itself even if Romeny wasn't the Republican parties knight in shinning armor.

George W Bush’s presidency can be associated with an infamous term that stood out from the State of the Union address, that term being ‘Axis of Evil’. In this context, Bush categorised the countries of Iran, Iraq and North Korea as being ‘evil’ states. This neoconservative comment left little doubt as to what Bush’s foreign policy towards these states was going be (Baxter and Akbarzadeh, 2008). This comment would then define George W Bush’s presidency, due to the controversy over this phrase and the results that it would have on US foreign policy as “rarely had such a rhetorical device had such devastating consequences” (Ansari, 2006:186). This paper will argue how the use of the word ‘evil’, and the categorisation of these ‘evil’ countries, had a large impact on US-Iran relations.

This is an easily accessible area for advancement for Mitt Romney. “I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed. But his promises gave way to disappointment and division. This isn't something we have to accept.” Here, Mitt Romney places himself alongside the public, as a citizen only wanting their president to successfully lead their country, and not as a competitor running to become the next president. This addresses sentiment within Romney’s listeners giving them reasons to doubt their current president, appealing to pathos. Romney explains in his speech that Obama has not led America in the right direction because he does not have the “basic qualification that most Americans have,” which is running a business. Here, he uses logos and ethos; both proving himself, and constructing his credence to the power business that is the United States.

George W. Bush was born in New Haven, Connecticut on July 6, 1946. Just like other presidents, he had his good times and his bad times. He was the forty-third president of The United States.

In all of the events that happened during his presidency he never gave up on his country (Biography; Gale: Vol 21).

Incumbent Barack Obama battled it out against Republican Mitt Romney. Their campaign styles, reputation, and platforms were the ultimatum of the outcome of the general election. The economic conditions both in 2012 and leading up to that year were at devastatingly low points, where unemployment rate was a boggling 10%, highest it had been since the 1982 recession. Although, Romney came from a political family it unfortunately wasn’t enough to sway the voters’ opinions causing him to lose the presidential election. Our nation was dealing with a plethora of significant issues during this time and the citizens wanted a president who could promise to resolve those conflicts. Obama, being a returning president allowed voters to put their trust in

In a claim that has set a significant degree of precedence for the executive branch, George Washington states, “The Constitution is the guide which I will never abandon.” However, it can be concluded that former President Obama does not share this view of the Constitution. When referencing executive orders, the Constitution states, “He (the president) shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Because there is a great distinction between executing the laws and changing the laws, President Obama usurped the Constitutional powers of Congress.

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.

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.

Although it is often said that the President of the United States holds the most powerful office in the world, this does not mean that he is able to decide very much for himself. The American Constitution, which was adapted in 1789, clearly states the Separation of Powers. Thus, the president makes up only one third of the government, namely the executive branch. He is also controlled by a complex system of checks and balances, which makes sure that he (or any of the other branches, for that matter) does not become too powerful. We will now have a look at the different problems which may be facing a recently elected president, and then discuss to what extent his powers are important.
