President Barack Obama's Re-Election

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.

The 2008 presidential election saw a significant increase in voter turnout among young people, Blacks and Hispanics. This helped with Obama’s political campaign, for he had a strong connection with minority groups and young voters. With the increase in voting for the Democratic party in 2008 by Blacks, Hispanics and young people, Barak Obama became the 44th president of the

Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States of America on November 4, 2008. He was the first black man to be elected to office. Due to the Civil Rights Movement and abolishment of slavery, African Americans gained many new freedoms and possibilities. African Americans gained the right to vote, the right to get a quality education, and they were seen as equals to the whites. This all eventually lead to the election of Barack Obama.

The presidency of 44th US President Barak Obama has been marked with rather prominent and significant shifts in policy, reverberating throughout many areas of the country. One of the president’s most controversial proposals that has yet to be fully acted upon is providing a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States. Supporters of the legislation point to a variety of moral and economic reasons to justify their position while opponents retaliate with their own concerns about the “fairness” of this policy action. For many against this pathway, citizenship is a delicate conceptual idea that already has a clearly defined pathway within the United States. Citizenship is often a rather subjective

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.

Leadership is action,not a position”(Donald H. McGannon 1).On November 4, 2008, senator Barack Obama was elected as the first African-American of the United States of America. It was then on that he would lead the country for two terms and finally leave his legacy in 2017.Barack obama impacted most of the american peoples lives in a positive way like when he created more jobs. During the“ course of Obama’s two terms of presidency, he has shown multiple times through his actions on why he is such a great president.,Such as providing health care for the poor and helping the economy.For instance, obama averted an economic collapse.

Hope. That is what President Barack Obama’s 2008 Presidential Campaign was all about. Hope. He served his four years with some victories, but also some losses, but he wasn’t done. He wasn’t ready to give up on America, on hope. On April 4th, 2011 President Barack Obama officially announced his reelection campaign for the 2012 election to be President of the United States again. From compelling campaign goals and ideology to effective campaign strategies, President Obama was in it to win it straight from the beginning.

My parents told me that I would never see a black president in my lifetime. Nobody believed the United States would have a black president so soon. A lot of pressure already came with becoming the president yet alone becoming the first black one. People tried to look through Obama’s past to find anything bad on him that could hurt him from becoming the next president. Race relationships got worse because some people didn’t like the fact he won. Barack Obama proved that if you stay strong and fight through everything that you can become anything you

There will be many times where people will look back into history years from now and remember the significant events of the 2000s, and a big reason for that is the advances both in technology and society that took place. On the day of November 4, 2008, a man of strong beliefs from Hawaii named Barack Obama announced that he was running for president of the United States. He won the election and was sworn into office becoming the 44th president of the United States on January 20, 2009. He has not only marked a page in history in becoming the first African American president, but has tried to work to better the economic and political aspects of the country. After his term in office was coming to a close, he won the re-election in 2012 and will be currently running in office until January 2017 when his final term ends and a new presidential candidate will gain office.

In a 2008 debate, now-President Barack Obama proclaimed, “We are a nation of laws and we are a nation of immigrants, and we can reconcile those two things,” (CNN, 2008). The hype surrounding Obama’s first term election included “hope” for immigration reform—an important platform of his campaign. In 2012, Obama’s re-election was partially attributed to an increase in support from the Latino demographic. The Latino vote helped Obama win key states and compromised 10% of the electorate—the highest ever recorded (Lopez & Taylor, 2012). With less than a year for Obama left in office, immigration legislation is struggling. Despite bi-partisan efforts, the future for comprehensive immigration policy is bleak. The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act (S.744) made great strides towards comprehensive reform in 2013. The arduous passage of S.744 was a victory for immigration reform but its subsequent failure in the House of Representatives is symbolic of an over-arching problem facing immigration reform policy in the United States.

These past few months, America has been in a great state of turmoil due to one of the most controversial presidential elections in history, the outcome of which has left the country divided with the question of whether the surprise presidential elect, Donald Trump, is actually fit to be president. He is one of the only people in this nation’s history that has managed to become the presidential elect without being a career politician or having any background experience in that area, and that alone deserves at least a little bit of recognition. For as long as anyone can remember this country has been ran by politicians who have time and time again disappointed the American people. The huge amount of distrust that has built up over the years is why the people began to demand a change and chose a man with no real experience. He is brash and outspoken, yet the formality is just one example of the many changes that are going to begin. While there has been a lot of debate over whether or not presidential elect Donald Trump is fit for office there are positive points to his election such as his views on imposing congressional term limits, bringing jobs back from overseas, as well as his stance on immigration and Obama Care.

Define: Sociological Imagination is when an individual has a problem that is produced from social conditions around them. Or even when the individual and their family, even others that have no relation are effected by the social conditions around them causing them problems. It is the idea that is meant to help people/sociologist see societal issues that cause problems for the people within that society, not just the individuals themselves.

In the year 2008, the United States elected its first African American president. This was a day of celebration by the African American people. It was proof they finally overcame the many harsh obstacles in life and earned respect. Back in 1964, both whites and blacks would never have imagined something like this could be possible. Back then, African Americans were considered slaves with absolutely no rights. Sadly, by some, they were even considered non-human. Electing an African American as president strongly shows how far we have evolved
