President Obama 's Presidential Election

The 1980 presidential election of the United States featured three primary candidates, Republican Ronald Reagan, Democrat Jimmy Carter and liberal Republican John Anderson. Ronald Reagan was the governor of California before he decided to run for the presidency. John Anderson was a representative in Illinois and Carter was the incumbent. The lengthy Iran hostage crisis sharpened public opinions by the beginning of the election season. In the 1970s, the United States were experiencing a straining episode of low economic growth, high price increases and interest rates and an irregular energy crisis. The sense of discomfort in both domestic and foreign affairs in the nation were heading downward, this added to the downward spiral that was already going on. Between Carter, Anderson and Reagan, the general election campaign of the 1980s seemed more concerned with shadowboxing around political issues rather than a serious discussion of the issues that concerned voters.

The 2016 presidential election had been a contentious one even before the primaries began. A divide within parties and between the public grew increasingly evident over the past year, ultimately leading to a candidate with no prior political experience beating out a candidate with forty-plus years on her resume. Scandals plagued both campaigns, however, polls and positive media coverage stayed firmly in Hillary Clinton’s favor throughout the duration of the election process with Donald Trump even claiming that the polls were “rigged” and the media was biased. While the veracity of these claims cannot be verified, today we know that the polls were wrong and the media that all but handed the election to Clinton were wrong as well. So how did Trump, someone many said would need a miracle to make it to the White House, beat all the odds and his seemingly strong opponent to become President? Though pundits are still struggling to understand it, the rise of Donald Trump shouldn’t have surprised anyone. For the pioneering German sociologist Max Weber, it would have been entirely predictable, a classic example of the politics of charisma.

Tuesday November 4th, 2008. All across the country, eyes are fixated on television screens. Everyone waits in anticipation. The race is almost called. Then, after hours of waiting, the 47th President of the United States of America is announced and simultaneously history is made. A Black man, Barack Obama, has just been elected. However in the time leading up to the election as well as the years that would follow, Obama faces much animosity, criticism, and hatred. In the article, “The Slow Motion Lynching of President Barack Obama”, Frank Schaeffer argues that Obama is being lynched, unfairly attacked and made victim in large part to the country’s racism. Although I agree that President Barack Obama has been unjustly criticized and attacked, Schaeffer only names race as the fuel for such criticism and fails to mention other contributing factors to the lynching of the President.

Every four years, the United States’ citizens elect a new president. The election is held in November, but campaigning starts almost a whole year before the election month. Candidates compete on a daily basis for the one position some people only dream of holding. With this election on the horizon, voters need to take time to understand who the contenders are and what their main objects will be once they arrive in office.

In today’s society it is noticed that in the most recent presidential elections, specifically the upcoming election in November, there are candidates that uphold little to no political experience. Some examples of candidates like this would be Donald Trump, a businessman who can carry out negotiations well regarding the economy however, his views can be seen as extremely conservative and violent towards other races and sexes, and Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon who is well educated and is able to speak clearly to the American public but is currently dropping in the polls. Also current President Barack Obama had actually began running for president after only being a new senator in Illinois for quite a short period of time, four years to be exact.

The 2004 presidential election was a re-election year, with current President George Bush with the republican ticket and as the democratic representative was John Kerry, Senator from Massachusetts. While the country watched the election and debates get underway, they decided that the candidates stance on the war in Iraq, terrorism, and the economy would be the separating difference of who would take office. As America watched the campaigns play out, they were finally able to decide on November 2, 2004 who would be their commander-in-chief. The 2004 election was set on a scene of war in the backdrop, similarly the 1944 election resembled the same scenery. From 1944 to 2004 to 2016, the key issues and the stance of each candidate needed to take

The results of the 2012 election revealed many important factors that will come into play when the 2016 election approaches. Geography, for one, is a key influence as the Democrats and Republicans had seized a stronghold on some states and in order to win they will need to gain a hold on each other’s states. The Democrats in the 2012 election have gained popularity with their platform of social justice and federal government programs among minorities such as African-Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and unmarried people while the Republicans platform of a limited government has shown to be less relatable to the general public hinting that maybe they will tweak their ideology to fit what is social acceptable for the next election.

Presidential elections have and continue to be a time where Americans begin to pay attention to politics a little more in depth, they look into the issues which burden America, and then decide which candidate, in their views would fix and continue to grow the policies and programs which are working to America’s advantage. Presidential elections have and will continue to grow and change, but the past three presidential elections have seen many changes and have been very different just in the course of 12 years. Although a lot has changed there are some major things that have dramatically changed just from election to election such as, campaign strategy and spending, “battleground states” or states which could vote for either candidate, the

Normally, the political election is regarded as really beginning when the candidates are nominated, but this is not a normal election. The 2016 election has been looming over the American population since before even the primary and caucus debates. Possibly the most publicized presidential race in American history, it is easy to get wrapped up in the soap opera-like daily news headlines.

The United States presidential elections are this year, 2016, in November. As a student, a citizen, or an aspiring politician, it is a good idea to know a little something about the presidential candidates. At this point in the race there are only five people left that are running, Donald trump (R), Bernie Sanders (S), Ted Cruz (R), Hillary Clinton (D), and John Kasich(R). One might want to know the issues of each candidate, which party they are affiliating with, how they plan to go about fixing these issues that we have, and the ultimate question will they be best suited for presidency. I narrowed which candidates I want to research more on, down to Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.

The 2016 Presidential Elections are right around the corner and many Americans are waiting until their votes are counted to find out who will be the President of the United States of America for the 2016-2020 term. All across America, the presidential candidates are attempting to get your support and to get your vote, but do these candidates really want to rebuild America and make this country great again? In these races there are many highly qualified candidates who want to grab your attention and address specific topics where they feel they are more qualified than their fellow candidates. Throughout all of the candidate’s campaigns, you have probably noticed many advertisements, posters and commercial’s with the contenders trying to gain your vote by accusing other candidates for failures or stating how they are “going to rebuild America.” The Republican and Democratic primaries are coming up in a month’s time. The Democratic Party is more straightforward with Hillary Clinton as the front-runner with Burney Sanders following behind. The Republican Party is more spread out with various candidates including Donald Trump (the front-runner), followed by Dr. Ben Carson, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, John Kasich and Rand Paul. Donald Trump, the leading candidate for the Republican Party, follows two goals stated in the Preamble of the United States Constitution: provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare.

The 2016 Presidential Election has been filled with large amount of controversy and drama. The two candidates, Hillary Clinton for the democratic party, and Donald Trump for the Republican party, each have a list of questionable acts. The two come from different walks of life and both have different views on how America could better herself. As voting time approaches it is time to look at all our candidates have given us so that a decision can be reached. By going back into their backgrounds, considering their proposed policies, and who has been funding their campaign, the most suitable candidate should be uncovered.

The news media don 't want Hillary to win the presidential election and they are pushing this terrorism threat along with everything negative said about President Obama and the wars in the Mideast scaring the public and at the same time they are helping Trump by the blanket coverage they have been give him that to date Trump hasn 't had to spend very much to advertise his campaign.

Barack Obama has shown The American people that if you want to change you had to violate the Constitution. During Barack Obama 's last term of presidency in 2015 Obama has violated the constitution ten times. His first violation was the Obama care bailout. The idea of getting the state of Massachusetts care was a great idea but the way Obama did it was not. In the national review article, it was stated, to a bill out of Massachusetts 's malfunction healthcare exchange President Obama and government deal picture for more than 300,000 state residents to receive Medicaid coverage without any verification of eligibility." I believe all Barack Obama was trying to do was give people I can 't with noninsurance to finally be able to afford health care. Been Elaine Obama care employees actual date to have injures was a violation awesome because mostly not have coverage until 2016.I believe that is very unconstitutional because what person will allow someone to put their take into something but it never comes through. It was announced on February 10, 2014 that the ministration deadline delaying them for mandate. Which may 50 to 100 full-time employees letting them be existed with coverage (national review). One of a violation still contains with Obama care subsidies to non-exchange plans .which was giving coverage without the Application even being accepted.it states on national review, “The administration found in February 2014 that some exchanges were having difficulty

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.
