    President Barack Obama addressed many issues in his speech. He began his discourse with a brief history of slaves as well as the struggle that they had to go through. He also mentioned the civil war and its effects, which lead to his main point, racial tension in America. President Obama stated that this is the minority issue compared to health care, education, and good jobs for every citizen.

He also addressed that The United States needs to be unified as a country and not split because of race. “There is a lot of…

    As it stands for 2010, Obama has not had the best of luck with passing domestic policies through the majority led democratic congress. The public’s view of Obama’s lack of assertion and success has fueled, even more, the already existing frustration over the weak economy. Blinded by this want of a quick recovery, people fail to see what Obama has been successful in. His successes encompass health care, the stimulus package and the small tax cut the tax payers received last year. What the public does notice or what the media display’s for them is the heavier tax burden imposed by all these government policies. This growing dislike for government interference has caused a shift from a majority who favor strong government, to now a majority who wish for less government interference. This is shown through the now Republican Majority existing in the House of Representatives.…

    If I were the President of the United States, the first major challenge I would address is the state of our economy. I think it is important because most of the issues our country faces stem from unemployment, bankruptcy, credit crisis and outsourcing of businesses. Our economy also affects global economy, so by fixing our economy we will not only be fixing our own but also the global economy, benefitting billions.…

Obama plans to end the war by 2014 and use half the money that would be spent on the war, and use it for roads, bridges, runways and schools and the other half on paying the deficit.…

    Although most Americans think this administration has socialist tendencies, the president’s policies and actions are similar to those of past presidents. Moreover, the two party systems help keep the democrats and republicans honest, by giving the voters a chance. The public in 2008 clearly chose a progressive social agenda. To give credit to president he has passed an economic recovery bill that is slowly progressing. Most would like a quicker recovery but, with anything, it takes time to implement.

    The main goal that I have set for myself in this written assignment is to make people aware of what we are doing altogether. I have tried to do it by surprising the audience: the article starts with praising president Barack Obama for the goals he has achieved, but meets a turning point halfway. Then some light is shed on the global warming and climate changes. I used the word supermassive black hole in two ways: first as the black hole in Obama’s mind, referring to global warming which he seems to have forgotten about, then it is used as a consequence of our way of life: black holes and other problems are being created by our nuclear power stations.…

    The cartoon shows President Barack Obama who is walking towards the White House. In the foreground there are two African-American which are hiding between the trees and bushes in the garden. Obama stops his march into the White House to look back to the black people and waves. One of them is retuning the gesture. In the garden are three sings. On one of them is the name “JIM CROW” written, which is a symbol of the race discrimination. He symbolizes the stereotype of a singing, dancing black man, who is satisfied with himself and the world around him, although his intelligence is below the average. On the other sings is “SEGREGATION” and “SLAVERY” written. These two words also refer to the history and discrimination of the African-American in the United States. In the left hand corner is a kind of headline which says “THE FINAL DESTINATION ON THE FREEDOM ROAD …”. The cartoon is an exaggerated view on the events which are related to Obama’s presidency and his status as the first African-American President. The White House, which is located in the center of the picture and it’s painted in bright colours. Alpha…

    Obama also wants to cut down the taxes for middle class families. This he says will prevent families from having to have a $2,200 tax increase for next year. In my opinion this country's economy is bound to go down the hill. It may sound really negative but by the way things are going for example the United States helping their "allied" countries out in difficult times yet having a war of their own toward terrorism just makes me think of…
