The president of the united states is a very powerful person. Whoever holds the power of the president have the United States army to back it up. Since the announcement of Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy the media has been on him, using every word he says against him. I believe the media’s negativism toward Donald trump has to do with the fact that Donald trump is a very powerful man without the title of the president. When he became the president of the united states his power grew beyond

If people from the 1800’s were asked what the correlation between media and politics was many would think that there was no such thing. Back in the day people did not have all these advancements we have today. If candidates wanted to get elected they had to be in good terms with the public. If they wanted the votes they had to convince they were fit for the job. Media is defined as the main mean of communication. Everywhere a person goes they are bombarded with media.

A key issue during the 2008 presidential campaign and Obama’s administration was interest groups and lobbyists. Obama had to deal with interest groups all throughout his presidency, whether it was dealing with Congress or his interaction with committees. Over time interest groups have taken on a larger and more important role in government. The interaction between interest groups and Obama played an influential role in shaping his presidency. Special interest groups are a group of people, usually

Donald Trump was supposed to be the guy who would fix everything in Washington, but after two months in office he’s proving to be a terrible leader. Trump was never very popular, but he got high marks for his leadership. Now that’s fading. In November just after the election, 56% of Americans thought he was a good leader — now it’s fallen to just 40%. After two months, here’s what we know: He’s not going to fix everything.

punishment to punish them. Torture is one of them. The function of torture is to force someone to say something and as a punishment. Torture is unacceptable which I disagree on which it is an action of inhumanly. According to “Tortures Terrible Toll” by John McCain, who is the Senator, he mentioned that we shouldn’t just torture the prisoners or the terrorists that we have caught. I agree with his point and the word of “inhumanly” to define torture is not a good way to punish a criminal. Even though their

partisan media shows defend their ticket of choice, they spend just as much—if not more—time attacking the other one.” Levendusky recalled news clips from the 2008 Presidential Election between Democratic President Barack Obama and Republican Senator John McCain. According to the book, right-wing news outlets called Obama “a tax-and-spend liberal,” while their left-wing counterparts said McCain’s vice president pick Governor Sarah Palin had a lack of

having a clear message and spreading that message to voters, debate performances and fundraising efforts. In this paper the 2008 presidential campaign of current president Barack Obama will be measured along with the 2004 presidential campaign of John F. Kerry. In this paper both campaigns will be analyzed on what tactics they used properly, where they were not as effective and what could have been differently. One of the most important factors when trying to run a successful political campaign

Ralph Waldo Emerson expressed the importance of speech in one short sentence: “Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel.” In 2008, the power of speech changed the course of history; the first African American president was elected, transcending years of racial inequality. For many blacks in the U.S., and many around the world, Barack Obama’s presidency was a step closer to righting America’s 400-year-old wrong: slavery and subsequent discrimination toward the black race. Obama’s

response to the Las Vegas shooting. The entire list consisted of Republican House and Senate members, and all of their responses were something along the lines of “sending my thoughts and prayers” (Leonhardt).. Topping the list was Republican Senator, John McCain who received over $7 million from the NRA. During the 2016 election cycle, the NRA spent $54.4 million with Republicans receiving a whopping $52.6 million and Democrats receiving a measly $265 (Hiltzik). The big money from the NRA is the reason
