John F. Kennedy And Bill Clinton: A Comparative Analysis

There have been forty-four U.S. Presidents over the past two hundred and twenty four years. Some were very successful. Of those few historians, Abraham Lincoln was one of the greatest presidents that ever live. He is responsible for preserving the union, freeing the slaves, and enacting various new policies. Lincoln was a president that never gave up and put his people first. He was strong, confident and believes in his principles. Some of the presidents were least successful. Of those few historians, Herbert Hoover wasn’t very successful while he was in office. He was considered to be a terrible president because an awful thing occurred on his watch. Which was the Great Depression.

The speeches of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy are both meant to deliver a powerful message. Despite how similar these messages are, there are contrasting ideas that set the speeches apart. The speeches of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy share similarities in their statements on freedom and the main purposes of the speeches themselves, while differing in historical context.

Both President Roosevelt and Kennedy made their purpose, history and commitment very seriously. Although the Presidents had different outlooks on things, they both stepped forward and proved their situation to be well set forth. Together they had the support of their people, may not have been the complete support but they persuaded the best choice for the peoples of the United States of America. The presidents were at two different time periods but had similar problems that needed to be addressed and taken care of, both presidents

President Kennedy and President Johnson had policies that lead America to the nation it is today. Although many policies were successful, both Johnson and Kennedy had committed some errors. This didn't stop the evolution of America or either of the hard working presidents on accomplishing what they both intended to do while in their time of presidency.

For over two hundred years, our country has been served by many presidents who changed our country; from turning territories into states to establishing borders around the United States of America, our presidents’ have been in the forefront of our ever-changing country. James Knox Polk and Theodore Roosevelt transformed the face of the US by their actions as president: these include, but are not limited to, expanding America, being involved and active in foreign affairs, and assuring equality for all citizens of this country. While serving their terms, both presidents signed a plethora of treaties, declared multiple wars, and passed various laws which helped shaped the United States of America into what it is known as today. James K. Polk and Theodore Roosevelt completed numerous actions that were both very similar as well as had beliefs that were contradicting to one another.

Bill Clinton was on of the best presidents of all time. Mr. Clinton did a great job in supporting our neighborhood police force. The crime rate during his presidency was very low. President Clinton signed a bill that kept assault weapons out of the hands of the wrong individuals. Which created a low forty percent drop in crime in 2001. President Clinton was the inventor of the three-strike law. The law gave criminals three time to commit a crime but after the third time they were going to incarcerated for numerous years. I would say that is very well needed today. Mr. Clinton also opened doors to correcting our environment issues. President Clinton also implemented welfare reform. I think this was amazing. Helping citizens to get off welfare

Presidents Great and Bad Americas great Presidents include Washington, Lincoln, and Roosevelt and why their place in History, as well they earned the title. Washington self sacrifice for his nation in war and the politic arena, resulting, in a strong nation. The president is giving his life for the nation, as well as fighting in uniting a nation; President Lincoln in fighting the civil war brought a nation under one flag. Roosevelt fought for the average man by instituting social Security, welfare and public works projects, as well as fighting two wars at one time.

President Kennedy is still thought to be a successful president because of his policies on foreign, civil rights, and environment. People thought Kennedy was the worst president because he started the Cuban missile crisis. I believe Kennedy was a great president because he submitted the foreign policy so everyone can vote. He left behind his foreign policy so everyone can

Forty- four Presidents have helped our great country to become a nation to freely live in. George Washington known as “The Father Of Our Country led the way for us to be free and Abraham Lincoln helped all people to live freely and work each day. Barack H. Obama (Democratic) also known as Barry, our 44th president and George W. Bush (Republican), our 43rd president are the main two presidents that stood out the most. Both ex-presidents differ from each other but also share similarities. Weather a Republican or Democratic supporter, these two main political parties show philosophical differences through their viewpoints on major topics such as economic policies, foreign policies, or dealing with terrorism.

Special qualities is what differentiates people who watch things happen and people who make things happen. John F. Kennedy and John Bergmann are examples of great leaders that took their unique traits and moved forward with them, changing the world. John F. Kennedy was the 35th president of the United States. John Bergmann is the general manager at Popcorn Park, this zoo welcomes all creatures. John Bergmann, not as major of a leader as John.

During Bill Clinton's presidency many changes happened, but the most noticeable is the technological revolution. The United States was embracing technology and what it offered to so many. It was a time to set aside the paper and pencil, and purchase a computer, a computer could be used to store information in a digital format. Information was becoming easily accessible at your finger tips, the internet could be used to look up all sorts of information. People were using cell phones and considering cellular devices as a necessity. As America recovered from the Ronald Reagan recession, the country began to embrace the information age. The United States did not only embrace this change, but led the world in this change. America led the world in

During Kennedy’s presidency he was obsessed with his weight and would travel everywhere with a bathroom scale, so that he could see how much he weighed. He tried to learn how to speak French and even asked his daughter’s teacher for help (8). During his presidency he used 16 pens to sign the Limited Test Ban Treaty on September 24, 1963 (8). Kennedy had a lot of back pains and problems all because one of his legs was shorter than the other. He received last rites four times: after becoming sick in England, a high fever in Japan, and back surgery on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas (8). He believed that people could solve their common problems if they would just put their country’s interests first and work together, not against each other.

Because of their positions in the government and their resulting influential abilities, presidents are either praised for advancing the nation, criticized for not doing anything to help the country, or even making the country’s situation worse. Their success as president is dependent on the success of the country. People don’t take into consideration the attempts presidents make, but only those things that help or hurt the country. This leaves room for there to be a good president who may not accomplish much and a bad president who may accomplish a lot.

President Kennedy and President Lincoln are both very well-known because of their assassinations and the coincidences that follow the story. Although, some people people believe it really isn’t that big of deal while others fear that it could potentially happen again in the future. The lives of both Kennedy and Lincoln share many of the same aspects, which leads some people to the question, does history really repeat itself?

Throughout our nation's history it has endured 43 presidents,some of them have been remembered as great men who served our country well and made it a better place. Others are more well known for the scandals they caused and others are hardly remembered at all. Despite the amount of presidents that we have had there has never been a president who stands out as the best president ever. Although there are two presidents from the post world war 2 era, each from two separate parties that I believed both had some of the skills to be the best president ever.
