Obama is one of the world leader who contributed, influenced and made drastic changes to the United States. The fact that he was a president for 8 years is astounding and raising me the questions; why could he reach the maximum of 8 years? What are the reasons why has he been favored by Americans that they wanted him to continue his second time? Obama is the first president in America who is not Caucasian which this fact, already gave a drastic change to the United States. Therefore, this fact started to alter and drive some major changes in terms of cultures in America. One of the major changes is that colored people are now having more rights and more equalities. Racism and discriminations are started to fade away comparing to the past. Since
Barack Obama has impacted America in many ways since he was elected the 44th president on November 4th, 2008. The first African American president of the United States has taken the world by storm and done many great things for this country. Barack Obama has accomplished many things in his personal life, and also as the president of the United States. Obama has affected the world financially, economically, and rebuilt our image as a nation.
By electing Obama, the people decided that people other white can hold high power jobs. The election also correlates to an increase in diversity of voters and a step in the right direction when it comes to bringing more diversity to politics. His election also demonstrates the melting pot that is the United States.
I remember when President Obama was first elected while I was in the 5th grade and many do not truly understand how he has positively impacted Americans in many different way. He is essentially the first president that I grew up with while understanding American Politics. He grew as a role model to many minorities who have long believed that there would never be an African American President. He brought hope, change, and prosperity to a country that was nearing a recession when he attained the presidency. Many have repetitively treated President Obama with contempt, racism disrespect by questioning his citizenship, faith, and love for the great country. 8 1/2 months into his first term President Obama was delivering a nationally televised
It is ambiguous as to how President Barrack Obama shapes our politics in terms of our political regime, but it can be determined through the present outcomes of his leadership today. In The Politics Presidents Make, by Stephen Skowronek, describes that there is a life-cycle of inaugurated presidents through the history of the United States. A political regime is defined as a full cycle of presidents that induce change in our politics until it is repeated again. Through this, it is possible to determine where President Obama would stand in our political time. Skowronek also mentions four leadership categories in which past presidents are placed in: politics of reconstruction, politics of disjunction, politics of
Barack Obama had the biggest influence on the United States in the early 2000’s. Barack Obama was the first African-American President, and also the first president to be born outside of the contiguous United States. Barack Obama served as the 44th President of the United States, from 2009-2017. He reformed health care, strengthened the economy, helped protect the Environment from the effects of climate change and air pollution, and used military diplomacy in other countries.
When we study Obama’s history we learn that one does not have to be rich or an outcast
The 2004 election season was during a time of high patriotism supporting the War on Terror after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. President George W. Bush ran a reelection campaign on American pride, national security and security of the American family. This platform resonated with the American populace, especially married women, who historically support the democratic candidate. In 2000 Al Gore won women voters over President Bush by 11 points. However, in 2004, John Kerry only mustered a 3 point victory in female voters over President Bush. Of those, married women favored President Bush over John Kerry by 11 percent (Trei). The political culture in America leaned toward the Republic Party and conservative views largely because of the 911 attacks. America wanted revenge and President Bush showed the fortitude to go after the Taliban in Afghanistan and more in a more controversial decision, invaded Iraq on the premise of Saddam Hussein being a threat to the United States and that Iraq had been stockpiling weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The American populace believed George W. Bush
I agree with Adjei and Gill 's premise that President Obamas electoral victory has not brought about a fundamental change in race relations in the United States. The simple addition of an African American within a position of power does not erase the historical sentiments of pain and suffering that was endured for countless years. In order to combat racism and enter a post racial era, the acknowledgement of race, racism and systematic changes have to occur, it is not a simple feat that can be done through an overnight process. One could argue that it does prove at America has
Many people in the United States feel angry towards equality and not enough opportunity for everyone. Obama ensure that people should forget others differences and bring people to work together. He wanted people to take action for oneself in order to build a better lifestyle. With that being said, Senator Obama had a goal for the people and that was to enhance better
Under the Obama regime there has been an uptake of education which was not always the case and more so for the African Americans. This has been linked to the blacks accessing schools they could not have done in other regimes which is a great effort on the government.
It is important to remember that President Obama was not only unique because he was the first African American President, but his policies and ideas brought about hope and change in an era of modest political involvement, particularly among the poor and the millennial generation. During his time in office, he has helped the economy bounce back from the one of the worst economic crises, but he has also taken steps to advance science and technology as well as improve social equality for all Americans regardless of gender, race, or religion.
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.
He is the first African American to in history to run on a major ticket. In the beginning of his campaign a lot of people questioned his authority and wanted to know could he handle the responsibilities of a president for such a big country. “ I want to know how deep is your love for the people, what kind of courage have you manifested in the stances that you have and what are you willing to sacrifice for. This is the fundamental question. I don’t care what color you are. You see, you can’t take black people for granted just cause your black”. (C.West) These questions just made Obama a much stronger person and he continued to fight.
We just had an African American president and that changed the citizen's views about everyone else. Who would have thought that the United States will have an African-American president, well, except Senator Robert F. Kennedy? Having an African-American as president changed individuals entirely. They saw African Americans in a totally different light, addressing them more as human beings and as part of the society. Although, people of other races are affected, but majority of the changes are seen around African Americans.
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
