Week 2 Assignment

To drill or not to drill is the question. Yes Barack Obama has promised us many things, but he isn’t promising us anything that any other president hasn’t promised us. The all promise us the world at our finger tips, a better life, and lower taxes, but how many times does that really happen? We all have hopes and dreams of what is going to go on in the Nation, but they do not always come true. With the topic at hand, we definitely would like lower gas prices, but they seem to keep rising. We all want prices to be lower on things, but not everyone is willing to pay the price to do so.

    Republican Strategy for Drilling on Federal Land

    The United States had great choice to make this past month in the Presidential Elections. The decision was to continue on our current path or start on a new one. A major point on the two candidates was on the domestic economic policies. Issues on the domestic economic policies were very different for both tickets in this year’s election. Differences were very clear on each party’s stances on drilling on Federal Land. Romney was very adamant on increasing drilling on Federal Land and also creating the much controversial Keystone XL Pipeline. During Obama’s first term, production of natural gas on the United States Federal Land has decreased from 35% to 21%. Though, his dismay of drilling has come after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in which millions of barrels of oil polluted vast areas in the Gulf of Mexico. This trend will be continuing, unless progress is made to ensure the safety of the environment while drilling. This is a main concern for the government, especially on domestic Federal Land.…

    President Project

    Pros; Mitt Romney is a strong debater, an impressive campaigner, and a skilled fund raiser. He has assembled an effective and out front Presidential campaign for 2012. He clearly takes being a candidate very seriously. Mitt Romney's tax plan is the most practical and pragmatic which is why we wrote "Finally, a candidate steps up and offers a proven, tested, and verified solution to create millions of private sector jobs." That shouldn't surprise anyone because Mitt Romney specialized in turning companies that were under performing into proven winners. Mr. Romney's success as a capitalist provides a striking contrast to the failing socialism of Barack Obama.…

On the other hand, John McCain doesn’t believe in improving the education system, instead he think education funding should be cut.

    Barack Obama Stimulus Essay

    Whether you like President Barack Obama or not, the Stimulus is a very important bill that he passed that saved our country. Very soon after being elected in 2008, Barack Obama passed the Recovery Act, the main focus of this was to promote renewable energy. One of Obama's main goals was to double the generation of renewable energy by 2012 (Gillin 1). The Recovery Act is sometimes referred to as the Stimulus package but, Obama prefers to call it the Recovery Act because that’s the same as saying it would work long term. A Stimulus would mean that it would only boost the economy for a short period of time. “Obama in fact intends to invest more long term, and intends to put a "down payment" on tackling major issues such as health care and greener energy” (“Barack Obama Has a Stimulus problem” 1). Barack Obama’s greatest achievement during his presidency was passing the Stimulus due to its effect on America.…

    African American and Obama

    In “A More Perfect Union’”, a speech given by Barack Obama, there are multiple issues addressed, with race being the biggest of them all. In Obama’s speech, his main focus is the issue of racism, and he touches on the examples of racism today and how we should cope with these problems. Obama uses various tones and experiences in both his life and the lives of others as well, to portray his thoughts on the subject. Obviously in a speech about racism given by an African American man, there are going to be mixed responses portrayed by the audience, and I think those mixed reactions are exactly what was occurring in the audience. As being part of that audience, I think Obama did an exceptional job of showing how racism is still present today, not only towards African Americans, but every other race as well.…

    Essay On My First Black President

    I can remember standing in line at the F G Clark Activity Center at Southern University.

There was an air of stillness, yet a hopeful felling on my HBCU campus. Like many of my fellow students standing in one of the two lines separated by the first letter of our last name, we would be voting for the first time for President of the United States.
