Obama 's Tenure As President Of The United States

Being the first African American president of the United States was the very first achievement of president Barrack Obama. The former president created history by been ranked one of the presidents who has brought about change in the past a hundred years; from the affordable healthcare, halting the civil war in Iraq, the catching and killing Osama bin laden to changing ethnic demographics. After the eight years of leadership we can confidently say that the Americans are living in a liberated country thanks to the Obama presidency.

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.

The United States holds a presidential election every four years. The current president, Barack Obama, is unable to seek reelection for third time because the Twenty-second Amendment states a president can only serve two terms. President Obama’s final term ends January 20th, 2017, the same day as the new presidential inauguration. The new president to be inducted will be elected November 8th, 2016, Election Day. The race to be president began shortly after the 2014 presidential election, where candidates try to gain support and backing for their campaigns (Murse). During campaigning, candidates need the support to gain popularity amongst the people to be elected.

Ever since the beginning of time there has been a government. As mankind evolved so did the forms of government. Ancient Rome was a dictatorship, a form of government where one person was in charge. Great Britain was a Monarchy, a form of government where a royal family is in charge of the country. America is a Republic, a system of government were elected officials to make decisions for the people. It is that time again in America where the American people get to elect a new official, which America does every four years, for the task of being the President of the United States of America. The people have the honor of picking from the fantastic politicians who are running for it. President Barack Obama has made some bad decisions, but he

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.

I chose to do my historical event essay on the Elections of President Barack Obama. I chose this because President Obama is a well- respected man and also the first African American president ever in history. President Obama is the 44th president of the United States. He was first the senate of Illinois and that’s how he got a boost in his election for president. President Obama was first elected on November 4th of 2008 and is currently serving his second and last term in office. As of 2016 Obama will be done with his last term as President Barack Obama.

In Obama’s first campaign he dazzled audiences with high powered speeches about “changing Washington.” He always said his campaign was about “hope and change.” He said he wanted to “cast off the worn-out ideas and polices of the past”. But what does that mean? Does it mean that political power will shift to groups currently outside the walls of power? Or does it mean that a different party will call the shots? Or was he just saying it to get votes and was not planning on backing it up? (1)

Barack Obama is the 44th president of the United States. He won presidency in 2008 while running against John McCain, then won re-election in 2012 while running against Mitt Romney. In this paper, I will be arguing his achievements and disappointments in his foreign and domestic policies, as well as what campaign promises he has kept or broken while president of the United States.

President Obama will go down in history as an extraordinary president, probably a great one. He will have done this in an era that doesn’t aggrandize leaders and presidents, but shrinks them. All presidents have had profound opposition, vicious enemies and colossal failures. A few were beloved and others deeply respected in their day, but none in the modern era and certainly not

“I 've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” A legacy that matters has little to do with the accumulation of material things or serving as a token figure. A legacy should be one of moral substance where those who are speaking of you remember the very causes that you supported. A legacy should be one of purpose and careful intent that free to roam When examining the Obama legacy and all of the policies implemented under his administration, one should be in awe of his unrelenting efforts to ensure domestic tranquility and guiding moral compass that sought to include all. This paper aims to dissect the presidency of Barack Obama and discuss his lasting impressions that will ever etched in the memories of all. Then, discuss the possibilities of the dismantling of this era of prestige and integrity.

Obama returned to Honolulu in 1971 to live with his maternal grandparents, Madelyn and Stanley Dunham, and with the aid of a scholarship attended Punahou School, a private college preparatory school, from fifth grade until his graduation from high school in 1979.[20] In his youth, Obama went by the nickname Barry.[21] Obama lived with his mother and sister in Hawaii for three years from 1972 to 1975 while his mother was a graduate student in anthropology at the University of Hawaii.[22] Obama chose to stay in Hawaii with his grandparents for high school at Punahou when his mother and sister returned to Indonesia in 1975 so his mother could begin anthropology field work. His mother spent most of the next two decades in Indonesia, divorcing Lolo

The New York Times built its legacy around characteristics that did not represent the status quo nor did it follow the traditional steps in reporting news to the public. Instead of putting emphasis on reporting corruption, scandal, and extreme political views, it put importance in reporting the factual representation of events and limited both personal views and expressions (Smeraglinolo, Wehmer, & O’Rourke, 2007).

I chose to do Barack Hussein Obama I wanted to know more about him and his life before becoming President of the United States. I knew that I wanted to do him from the beginning because I really enjoy his humor and his relationship with his wife and children. I felt as though doing a research project on him would also educate people about the type of person that Barack Obama is, while also highlighting who he was as a young adult. Also, I knew that I would be able to find a lot of books and websites that would give me credible information. I learned more about Obama’s life than I could have ever imagined. I was amazed at how much information about his childhood I could find. I learned about how dysfunctional his family life was and how

Last year, America has elected a new president, the first American black president Barack Obama. As what all other presidents have done, they made so many promises during their campaign, in order for people to support them and win the votes to become president. President Barack Obama used the word change as his campaign tagline last year. It triggered us, the people around the world, to have the interest on how Obama has brought changes to the White House, to the political map in the United States of America, and to the world. It is also important to know how much Obama changes the image of the America to the better, how he cleans up the previous government’s mess, and the overall performance of Barack Hussein Obama in his first year of

In the year of a presidential election the media is flooded with an unhealthy amount of news about almost every facet of the candidate’s life. This information is presented in different lights to hungry audiences, all of those who wish to either see the best or worst of the potential President. Each individual member of this audience belongs to a different mindset and has their own background knowledge associated with the news they are consuming. Although people read the news with different intent and expected gain of knowledge, they all get the same amount of information.
