Many citizens, most of them conservatives, have questioned the economic recovery, but evidences have dismissed their arguments. President Obama pointed out that “we do have real, tangible evidences of our progress;” for example, we have created “10.9 million new jobs”
Find a Way (Romney for President, Inc., 2012) was perhaps the best ad of the campaign. It addressed the major concerns that effected Americans at time, national debt, unemployment, presidential challenges with the House and Congress and at the same time showed that Romney was successful addressing similar issues at the state level. Unfortunately, that was probably the only Republican campaign ad that Americans would relay to; however, a curtail mistake later on was a major contribution to Romney’s lost and a great pro for the Obama
Romney’s ad talks about how his leadership will be once he becomes a president of the United States. The ad starts with the questions to persuade an audience, “What will be different about Romney Presidency?”. Romney intends to show enthusiasm toward the decided Republican voters and to sway the decisions of those that are undecided.
Some of the current Republican presidential candidates may be getting a boost from the former Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, after he met with a few of them over the holiday weekend. Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Chris Christie all had their chance to meet with the former Massachusetts governor and pick his brains about politics. This was enough to get Romney's name back in the media after a long and very silent absence, but it has many wondering what the purpose was behind these visits. What did Bush, Rubio and Christie really want from Mitt Romney?
In the article “Job One: Tax Code Rewrite,” William O’Keefe, an author who cares about tax reform, argues that the Obama Administration should rewrite the tax code in order to reduce the unemployment rate. He supports this claim with a formal tone by using opinions and anecdotes as evidence. According to William, we need “systematic reforms to our tax code and regulatory policy.” The author targets a tax reform audience that cares about the economy. William’s purpose is to persuade readers that Obama’s stimulus tax bill will not help the economy or business in the long run. This work is significant because it challenges the Obama Administration to rethink their priorities.
Romney has strategically placed two concealed platters before the nation. When the first is revealed, he describes how Obama cannot continue leading the country because of his lack of business know-how, leaving his listeners empty handed and starving. They are now waiting for what will fix their problems. The second covered tray is already brighter, and more appeasing, and it hasn’t even been revealed yet: It is Romney’s plan.
One of the customs of Presidential elections is the debates held between the candidates prior to that event. The topics discussed in these debates are of controversial nature and their role is to target and convince undecided and independent voters - those not belonging to a specific political party.
Four years ago today, the 2008 election season was in full throttle. The Democratic primaries had an early start, with John Edwards officially announcing his candidacy for the Democratic nomination in December 2006, Hillary Clinton following in January 2007 and Barack Obama declaring his intentions for the Oval Office in February. The Republican contenders entered the race soon after and were competing for the nomination in early 2007. John McCain, the last viable contender to formally announce his candidacy besides Fred Thompson, made a formal announcement on March 1, 2007. Lydia Saad noted the awkwardness of no Republican front-runner at this period before an election. Indeed, prospective candidates for the 2012 GOP nomination have
On July 18, 2013, Detroit filed Chapter 9 bankruptcy and make it become the largest municipal bankruptcy in United States history. The center of the automobile industry in the United States currently famous with the stereotype as ‘the ghost city’ – the worst city in the state where people don’t want to come with $ 18 billion debt. There are three main factors behind Detroit bankruptcy, they lost their revenue sources, they spend too much, and the government failure. The following below is the explanations of these three factors.
As Sherman wrote, “Perhaps the most surprising thing to ponder at this late stage in the election is just how close the race could have been had he taken nearly any of the advice offered to him by advisers. ‘This thing was doable if we did it the right way,’ one adviser told me.”
It was a cool autumn day as the sun set on the horizon of Las Vegas, Nevada. That night the Democratic National Committee and CNN would host the first of a series of Democratic debates in the race for 2016 Presidential Race. Congress being out of session for the next few days, Senator Jay Whitman had just arrived at the airport and planned on heading straight to the debate to see what the future of the Democratic Party would bring to America. Being already, obviously, thoroughly versed in politics himself he was exhilarated to heard the candidates debate the issues that mattered to him and the people of Nevada her represented. Once he had arrived at the event, he found his way though security and into the auditorium. The debate started roughly
The 1988 presidential election saw Republican George H.W Bush victorious against Democrat Michael Dukakis. America had just experienced eight years of relative economic prosperity under Republican President Ronald Reagan; Bush used this prosperity to boost his campaign. The 2016 presidential election, however, is considerably different. The Republican candidate Donald Trump has no incumbent Republican president with which to boost his campaign as Bush did; instead, Trump is campaigning against Hillary Clinton, who is backed by a Democratic party which has won the last two elections. The advertisements by Bush’s and Trump’s campaigns show the stark differences in how Republican voters feel about the state of the country. These differences are most clearly manifested in Trump’s “Two America 's: Economy” advertisement when compared to Bush’s ad on economics. Analysis of these commercials on economic policy shows that perhaps the most significant difference between Bush’s and Trump’s campaigns is that Bush’s core message appeals to optimism and logic, while Trump’s appeals to fear and lacks strong logic. These different strategies bring to light how the Republican party’s base has changed over the two elections.
The country was undergoing a recession but nonetheless, he came into office ready to take action. One of his first priorities after getting into office was to tackle the financial crisis. His stimulus package and some of the carryover from the Bush administration pushed money into the economy when it was needed the most. His auto bailout gave manufacturing a lifeline (GM, Chrysler, Ford), and his support for credit starved banks, slowed down the spread of subprime contagion. Even though some believe he did not make the economic life better in his first four years in office, he certainly prevented it from getting much worse, and on re-election day, voters rewarded him for that. According to exit polls, more than half of voters still blame George W. Bush for the sluggish economy, only 38% blame president Obama. During his second presidential campaign, Obama argued that the only solution to America's deficit problem was a mixture of increased revenues and lowered spending. In contrast, Mitt Romney consistently maintained that he could eliminate the deficit without raising taxes, he even promised to cut them below their current rates. Mitt Romney's plan was not realistic and his political agendas were rather inconsistent, Obama's plan was a far more realistic approach, by promising to increase marginal rates on the very wealthy-essentially by allowing some Bush tax cuts to expire-Obama offered a path that,
In 2009 the American auto industry was in a dire economic state. Chrysler was in Chapter 11, GM was on the brink of bankruptcy, and Ford’s future was at best uncertain. The demise of the U.S. auto industry would have a devastating impact on our national economy and specifically the economies of Michigan and Ohio.
The Auto Recovery Act was difficult for most to understand and seemed inequitable or unfair to bail this industry out and not others or private taxpaying citizens. After all, the billions of dollars here were taxpayer’s money but the other options would only end in tragic results. However, few were discussed in public. Candidate Mitt Romney having vast experiences in this field was mocked for offering the legal option, bankruptcy. Romney wrote, the US auto industry is of bankruptcy is the only path to the restructuring the industry for a true lasting recovery. The auto industry would remove excess labor, pension and real estate costs that continue to burden their profitability. The government should provide guarantees for post-bankruptcy financing
