Hey Look Over There ! : Sequence Of Action

In November, American voters will be between a rock and a hard place, or you may say between the devil and the deep blue sea, when they come to elect the 44th president. After the worst president in all of American history, the best choice Americans will have for president is either a 72-year-old authoritarian maverick or a black man whose middle name is Hussein. What’s wrong with America? This is the greatest nation in the world, and it became so because of its dedicated founding fathers and its distinguished popular presidents.

In 1994, a conflict the US couldn't understand, between clans and tribes it didn't know, in a country where there were no national interests, occurred. The Rwandan War of 1994 did not deserve US intervention. There are four contentions on why the US should not have gotten involved in this Rwandan war. The Black Hawk Down incident, how the UN was there previously there, there being no Possible Gain, and having nothing to do with us. Through the examination of the novel, An Ordinary Man by Paul Rusesabagina, it is Obvious that these key points are valid.

It is said that individuals are value and critique by their actions and character in life. However, it is essential to understand why it is that certain individuals make certain decisions despite the outcome it may create, in this particular case, presidents. Each president has distinctive qualities and traits that make them unique when compared to previous and future presidents. No matter the time span between the 1930’s to modern time, presidents are still held to scrutiny for their success and mistakes during office. Every president of the U.S. while serving their term has had to deal with specific issues regarding poverty, war, economic, or foreign problems.

There is a large amount of enthusiasm surrounding the election of a new commander in chief in the first couple months. During the first couple years, that same enthusiasm and momentum is alive. In their third and fourth year, all of the president’s supporters are eager to re-elect him. However, in their fifth and sixth years, presidencies tend to run out of gas, new ideas, and their previous agenda has dried up. As a result, not only do presidents have to come up with a new agenda, the nation also commences to steadily and progressively grow fatigued, resulting in bad six-year itches and usually unsuccessful efforts to transfer possession of the White House to the vice president or some other member of the

Courtesy of Michael Schere’s article, Bigots, Boasted by the Bully Pulpit, goes in discussing Trumps lack of involvement, “ Marching with the racist , fascist and separatist, he argued were some “very fine people” with a worthy mission. “Not all of those people were Neo-nazis believe me he said on Aug 15 at a press conference in the lobby of Trump tower… In the face of a fatal riot instigated by bigots- the largest demonstration of white power in at least a decade- here is a president defending the gathering, legitimizing a hateful ideology in the process.”[Michael Schere Bigots, Boasted by the Bully Pulpit ] Another sign of a rising problem, the racists see Trump as on their side, some say there is not even a problem, since Trump did not address the situation as a white nationalist gathering that lead into violence. This is what is concerning of Trumps presidency is taking us back to the past- not moving forward in an united front, but to divide us even more as a country

The grand strategy of President of Bush foreign policy was to promote the spread of American democratic principles throughout the rest of the world and liberate those who are oppressed under non democratic regimes. In order to accomplish these foreign policy goals the Bush administration needed to exert a maximum display of force which was often achieved through military intervention. In the first term of President Bush administration one of the most daunting tasks faced with the implementation of the foreign policy strategy was how America could adequately address the growing

Ronald Reagan is now one of the most controversial presidents of the past fifty years. Although all have their defenders and detractors, Reagan, though not necessarily a polarizing figure, was engaged in some behavior that has caused questions as people examine his decisions. He is probably best known for his ability to communicate his conservative ideals to the public, and had an innate ability to get people to follow him. Some would say though that his strong arm tactics began the alienation of the United States from the rest of the world, and has led to this moment in time in which the US is reviled by many countries. His chief objective seemed to be to stop the Cold War and end communism as it had stood for the better seven decades, and he did accomplish his task. However, he lacked the delicate diplomatic touch that many wished he would have used. But, he was strong in his convictions ad was not afraid to voice them to any country or individual leader he believed needed to be told how to act properly. This paper looks at the situation with Libya in 1986, examines Reagan's diplomatic doctrine as it applies to this situation, and then determines the immediate and eventual impact of Reagan-led US actions.

From the second author’s views, he tries to defend the president actions of not acting towards the crisis in time by proving evidence of his prior work for the nation. He shows that the president was just caught by the situation and was not aware of its happening. Despite arguments by the likes of The Chicago Tribune's editorial calling for the impeachment of the president, the author still believes that the president tried his best in handling the matter and that he is normal person and should be understood (Genovese, et. all,

Even in matters of national security the president has secured new and immense power by way of the USA PATRIOT act, which, remains unfettered to this day. It would be appropriate to compare the process our leaders undertake to the ancient tale of Icarus. We find that often, our presidents simply fly to close to the sun in their quest for power. This is most apparent in their abilities to harness the power of the media, build a co-operative relationship with congressional law makers, or to implement domestic policy. In these areas, one president or another has enjoyed some level of power and success for a time; that success however, would not be absolute. Often, the power they wield, which they have empower to help them lead, would be threatened by a plethora of oppositional actors and stimuli in the political field, some of the oppositional forces would

The PBS documentary Divided States of America is a thorough compilation of information starting with Barack Obama’s rise to the Presidency, his subsequent eight years in office, and the events which led to Donald Trump’s election to the position of the forty-fifth President of the United States of America. Amid these important events there were many smaller ones, both positive and negative, which when articulated in the documentary, provided all the gritty details about how and why those major events occurred. Most of the events covered were events which I had very limited knowledge about before my exposure to the documentary. As my knowledge and understanding of the events which transpired during this period increased, a few events really

The presidency, even though loose in definition, upholds high standards for this country and are often the face of emotion and strength for America. The presidency is much more than just an institution or title, it is the focus for the most intense and persistent emotions in the American polity. The president is a symbolic leader, the one figure who draws together the people’s hopes and fears for the political future. He or she strives to help people make sense of politics. The support he or she has from the public and interest groups, the party balance in COngress, the thrust of the Supreme COurt opinion together set the basic power situation he must deal with. The president should be a “master politician” who is above all politics. Each President defines a unique leadership role that is strategic choice to enhance political

In the article “What Trump’s NFL, Curry remarks should signal to his base,” Julian Zelizer argues about how because Trump is “immature” and “divisive”, he is destroying America’s unity(Zelizer). He also points out that Trump did not blame or harass the white supremacists after the Charlottesville incident which is why this current problem or race is occurring. The author criticizes Trump on “blaming others, rather than offering real economic relief” which leads him to believe that Trump is distracting everyone from his campaign promises(Zelizer).

In President Barack Obama’s speech addressing the action taken in Libya, he said that the United States reserves the right to unilaterally use military force to address direct threats to "our people, our homeland, our allies, and our core interests" (Morici). To save the collapsing rebellion, air attacks had to target Gadhafi’s tanks, artillery, motorized columns, and government installations (Hanson). The problem that Congress faces is the question of whether unilateral action is constitutional. Unilateral action

After the election of Barack Obama to the office of the President of the United States, there seemed to be a general belief that all the issues of unequal treatment of African-Americans in the United States had come to an end, that the injustices of the past had suddenly ceased to exist, or, at the very least, that they did not matter anymore going forward. However, the recent shooting incident in Ferguson, Missouri and its subsequent fallout (Sherwell, 2015) presents a very different picture, showing that issues stemming from racial tension are still very much in existence in the United States. Even putting aside conflicts arising from racial issues, Americans tend to view people of African descent or with the associated features as a race, but not those of European descent or with European features. As a result, in the United States, there are scholars, and black scholars. George Bush was a presidential candidate; Jesse Jackson was a black presidential candidate.

The U.S. must intervene in South Sudan, as it is an enduring interest within our National Security Strategy to maintain “An international order advanced by U.S. leadership that promotes peace, security, and opportunity.” General Rodriguez, commander of AFRICOM, should employ both diplomatic and economic instruments of power. By doing so, the U.S. risks a potentially long-term engagement in East Africa.
