Barrack Obama, the 44th President of The United States left an indelible mark at the White House. It’s not yet a year since he left office but if he appeared in any state, people will line up just to lay an eye on him. Both young and old, from every race and tongue, he was and is still loved by almost every individual on earth. He was the only President of the United States who brought out the picture of "the it never so serious guys in this oval office". He interacted with all types of people. He hosted many people at the White House and changed many lives for the better which are not the norm with so many other Presidents.
Being of African American descent and especially from Kenya, you would expect that he would be lenient on Africa and

He showed men how to love and be proud of their partners and family.
Obama was one person who really valued the work of men and women who bringing honour to the United States. Talk of the President visiting his troops in the battlefields. He was in Iraq and Afghanistan to give them the moral support that they deserved while in battle. Imagine the President receiving the troops back home from the battlefields, shaking their hands, hugging them, sharing jokes with them and even saluting them for all the sacrifice for the sake of their country. He was very social, interacting with various celebrities at White House. I can recall him hosting Oprah Winfrey, Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Justine Timberlake. To him, it did not matter from which race you came from. In major conferences, he was still the social man. At one point, he was taking a selfie with David Cameron the former Prime Minister of Britain. One time Obama dropped the Microphone after uttering the immortal phrase “peace –out” while his other hand was kissing his fingers. This was very common with celebrities, talk of Eddie Murphy and even Alex Turner and now the President himself trying this at a dinner party at the White House, it was amazing. He would even sing in the middle of his speech. You all recall in 2012, realizing that he was under the same roof with Rev. Green, he broke out into singing the man’s hit song Let’s stay together. You can’t even imagine any
President Barack Obama did many things to get to the positions he is at now.” Obama himself struggled with his mixed-race identity and sought to figure out how he fit in with the rest of the world”(Source B). He also had many problems growing up and many complications to get through school since he didn’t have much money. But Obama showed great appreciation for the things he had. He went out in his community becoming a great leader. Not only did he go out in his community and be a leader, But he showed great leadership, as a senate and as a president.Barack Obama was more than just an ordinary President, but he showed great leadership, hard work and cared for others than himself.
The election of Barack Obama as the president of the United States surprised Americans as much as it did the world. The first African American and non-white to be in the White House, Barack Obama symbolized a major historical event, another step-forward toward racial equality in the history of America. Civil rights activists, experts in the racial conflict of the U.S., and many liberal citizens believed that Obama’s election means the realization of the ideas of black civil rights leaders, the completion of the Civil Rights Movement, the beginning of a post-racial society, and the downfall of
In my opinion, with Barrack Obama being elected was a way of introducing equality and showing society that we too as African Americans can do great things. We came along ways from slavery days and things are different. We are the same and equal in this free state., the great United States of America.
His family raised him with respect and showed him the right way how to get things done. As to be the President wife she stated “It is unusual, however, for a former president and first lady to make a collective deal for their memoirs, and some publishing industry insiders said that early on the process, it appeared that the books were going to be auctioned separately.” And I think that’s real because pf the fact she has to stand by her husband to make sure he’s doing everything right and knowing that he can achieve any goals on his own. He made of choices in his life and that was he had a lot of charity that he gave and that was Obama Care it was Medicare for people who can’t pay for they medicine on their own. He took care of the United States and it was so sad that he had to leave but at the end he made of different changes in the law that he wish he could have kept. His family was so proud of him that he didn’t know what to think or say about that. I really don’t know too much about him but what I do know that he change the world and that I wish he could come back and change the world
There are many flaws in the actions of the President of the United States using executive action to shape policies for the United States, but congress plays a major role in the reasons why there are so many issues pertaining to the use of executive action. Another flaw is that it is not spelled out in the constitution that the president is allowed to bypass congress on any issues that are not attended to. Congress makes a huge fuss about the president executing his executive actions but congress is the one from the beginning that granted that right to him in the first place. The presidents use of executive action on issues, that when applied, bypasses congress. Executive Actions are used to remedy a fundamental lack of action by congress
Obama for sure tries to locate truth in his personal experiences. Obama discusses the issue of race in America in a reasonable and logical manner, yet he also seems sincere, full of character, and is educated on the topic. Racism still exists, but it is most often in the subtleness and comfort of familiar spaces and or homes. Obama’s willingness to have an honest conversation on the subject of racism. Obama hoped to change America’s anger for racial issues and move forward, from the past. I think him wanting to share experiences of his own and others, shows us he's really wanting a change for
The president is the most important job in the United States. Not the ruler of the United States ,but have some power over the country. The president of the United States is a person who symbolize the country and leads the country by making decisions of what is the best thing to do. The president needs to know about the past history such as the conflict of World War I and II and different events that led to violence in our own country. The president of the United States needs to know how the system of the government works and different problems that have been happening right now such as immigration, terrorism and hunger. The president needs to have the people votes so that he or she could be able to have the position of being the president
The President of the United States has a very important, and no doubt, stressful job. Yet not a king, the President carries multiple job titles which include, but not limited to: chief of state, chief executive, chief legislator, and commander in chief. Harry Truman (33rd U.S. President), displayed to the whole world his role as commander in chief, when he made the decision to drop two atomic bombs on Japan, in April of the year 1945. President Truman’s actions and reasons for the bombings showed that he used a utilitarianism view, as the bases of his decision.
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
In 1787 our founding fathers believed that that the general population was not educated enough to select the president of the United State (Bronson, K and Dove, L 2015). This was one of the concerns our founders had when the wrote the Article II, section 1 of our constitution which laid out the framework for the electoral college process that we use still to this day. An article by Bronson, and. Dove” stated that the Electoral College provided security to concerns that the governing people had in this era of our nation’s history to ensure a viable election process, such as the unlikelihood that a candidate would have a national presence amongst the general public.”(2015). Due to the vast geographic distances candidates would not be able to appeal their platforms to the people since there was no televisions or radios throughout the country. The founding fathers even feared that the more populous states would force their influence on the less populate states making the popular voting process not viable to receive the true will of the people(Bronson,K and Dove, L page 1, para 2). These concerns where ligament in that society and era of our nation’s history and the Electoral College process gave security. With key transformations that have accord in our society, such concerns are less prominent. The Electoral College Process no longer protects us from concerns of the past, but directly effects new problems in our current society The Electoral College denies the will of the
The president of the United States of America is often referred to as the “leader of the free world.” It is a position that garners tremendous respect, and is burdened with extraordinary responsibilities. In American politics, it is the preeminent office for an elected official, and once president, “hunger for a higher office cannot drive them” (Bissette & Pitney, 2012, p. 422). The president is also the one person in America who does not answer to just a single district or state, but is the representative to all. Because of the position as chief executive for the nation, the president needs to work with his people and their legislatures, as well as within the realm of foreign affairs, representing the country abroad. This takes a certain level of charisma, or as the authors of The Federalist Papers detailed it as the “energy of the executive” (Hamilton, Madison & Jay, 1788).
The United States first declared its independence back in 1776. Just a decade later, the Constitution was written and signed on September 17, 1787. To this day, this document represents the supreme law of the United States of America. The first President of the United States was elected on February 4th in 1789. His name of course was George Washington. This was the start of the United States, since then we have had 43 other presidents. Each and every one of those presidents has done something for our country. Whether good or bad, effective or not very effective this is how our country has become what it is today. Since WWII, the United States has had 12 different Presidents that have led our nation and looked over significant events and decisions that have shaped this country.
Before 1789, pharaohs, consuls, Kings, Queens, and Councils served as executive in other government and no national government had a president (Welch 326). George Washington, in 1789 became the first president of the United States, as well as the commander in chief, and one of the Founding father of the United States. As a democratic country, USA has a political system where power is divided in between a legislative, executive, and Judiciary. In the beginning the presidency was not very powerful office in a fledging country that had few international ties and virtually no standing Army. Today the President of the Unites States is among the most powerful figure in the world. As a chief diplomat and most powerful person of the country,
There was three ways “A Dream Fulfilled: The Story Barack Obama” impressed me. One way he impressed me, was how he handle being biracial at the time period of the civil rights movement. Barack having a Kenyan Father and a White American Mother during the middle of the civil rights movement. For example, the book describes Barack resist being a racist himself because at this time everyone is pointing fingers at each other. He stays clear and still be accepting to other. Another way he impressed me, that he’s genuinely wants to help people. He was just in it to become president for selfish reasons. For example, he was a community organizer. The job has low pay and work with stubborn people. He accepted this job because he truly wanted to help
Barack Obama was the 44th president of the United States of America and the first African American president. During his presidential campaign in 2008 Obama gave a speech in Philadelphia called, “A More Perfect Union.” His speech moved millions of Americans and inspired racial cooperation and societal change. Obama called for acceptance of all colors and for people to realize that the government is, and never will be perfect; however, he also says it is time to take action and instill change, rather than just talking about change. Obama most effectively convinces his audience of this with pathos and by including antitheses and repetition, which helps him evoke passion in his audience.
