obama presidency
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 illustration shows how Obama ‘uses’ nature, or the money that should be spend on our planet, to support our banks, so to get rid of the financial crisis. I used an illustration in order to get the attention of the people who are reading the newspaper.
It has been a challenge for me to write a credible article, related to a current event and at the same time impossible to happen in less than a few months.

LONDON – Barack Hussein Obama has been our beacon of hope from the first day of his election. In half a year now, he has been able to help the Americans to unite in order to defeat their ominous enemy of the economic disaster. Unfortunately for president Obama, a growing number of people throughout the whole world notices why he is suddenly the one being able to save this superpower from crises. All energy, time and money usually spread among various problems, now have been spent on finance and war only. The direct problems he had to face made him forget about long-term effects, effects his predecessors always have kept in mind. Obama seems to have done the right thing with obvious and instant difficulties, but a supermassive black hole in his mind might create the biggest problem this world has: global warming.
It has been six months now, since America welcomed her first black president on his

    Al Gore is a politician and environmentalist that gave his speech “Climate Emergency” at Yale School of Forestry in 2004. He also presented it during the presidential campaign that same year. He argues that the Earth’s environment is in fact vulnerable, and that humans have a big impact on it. In his speech he uses scientific facts, statistics, maps, and graphs to demonstrate. Gore explains why he used the title “Climate Emergency”, “it is intended to convey what it conveys- that this is a crisis with an unusual sense of urgency attached to it, and we should see it as an emergency. The fact that we don’t, or that most people don’t is part of what I want to cover here” (Gore, 861)…

    This article talks about the second-term curse; the perceived tendency of second terms of recent U.S presidents to be less successful than their first terms. According to the "curse", the second terms of recent presidents have usually been plagued by a major scandal, policy inertia, some sort of catastrophe, or other problems. In the article “Second Chances”, the author suggests some ideas about how President Obama can avoid a unsuccessful second-term. He talks about the failures of George Washington, Ulysses S. Grant, Woodrow Wilson, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and most recently George W. Bush, who were the victims of the ‘curse’ and by looking at these two-term stars, he explains how and why Obama might be more blessed than cursed.…

    In the case of “The Island President” it illustrates just how diverse the issue of climate change is. One reason this is so challenging is because, climate change affects every country in a different way, and would require many different approaches in policy making to correct and address the issue. For example the policy needs of the Maldives greatly differs from ours here in the United States.…

    It is quite a balancing act that president Obama must perform if he is to maintain equilibrium between the demands of the wealthy elite and the interests of the masses of the American people. And in his last remaining four years the expectations of the so-called African American population may not be so easily assuaged by grandiose political posturing or a philosophy/policy based on the idiom that “a rising tide lifts all boats.”…

    With global warming being one of the most talked about issues in the world today, its threat to potential environmental crises in poor countries has caused many already unstable governments to collapse. These crises are brought on by ever worsening environmental degradation. Nicholas Kristof, a world traveler and two-time Pulitzer Prize winning journalist has contributed to this responsibility by informing the public with his 2007 article, “Our Gas Guzzlers, Their Lives.” Lester Brown also discusses the negative affects global warming has in the developing world in his article, “ Could Food Shortages Bring Down Civilization?” The authors both use similar and different tactics in making their articles affective to their readers.…

    During presidential campaigns, people are constantly bombarded with promise after promise from hopeful nominees. They promise to bring the change that the american people desire. Nobody in recent American politics has embodied the spirit of hope and change more than Barack Obama in his 2008 election. Among his many promises were health care reform, a responsible end to the Iraq war, and effective action on climate change. While many people in his own base have become disenfranchised by his supposed inaction on his campaign promises, he actually has kept nearly 45% of all his campaign promises and has tried to pursue all three of these specific campaign promises (Politifact 2016). While each promise has met its own, unique fate, most of his…

    Being a millennial baby, I think that the election of President Barack Obama has had the greatest impact on the millennial generation, when he was inaugurated on January 20, 2009; everyone knew that everything would change. With President Obama being the first African America President, it gave some people a dosage of confidence, so to speak. I remember my father telling me that President Obama was elected. Even then, I thought to myself, I could do anything I wanted and be anything I wanted. That wasn’t quite the case because of one little problem: racism. Racism has been there ever since I can remember, just because of someone’s skin tone. Even at my school, I feel different because I am the only Indian in my class. The majority are Caucasians.…

    A former United States Senator, Joe Lieberman, had this to say about global warming: “Today, we can see with our own eyes what global warming is doing. In that context it becomes truly irresponsible, if not immoral, for us not to do something.” The President of the French Republic asserted that “The time is past when humankind thought it could selfishly draw on exhaustible resources. We know now the world is not a commodity.” It is clear that global warming may be man’s greatest challenge - however, it seems as though many are still denying its existence.…

    “People tend to focus on the here and now. The problem is that, once global warming is something that most people can feel in the course of their daily lives, it will be too late to prevent much larger, potentially catastrophic changes,” Elizabeth Kolbert. For decades our world has been changing slowly, and we have felt the wrath of global warming. Recent hurricanes such as Ike, Wilma, Katrina, Rita, and now Sandy have caused many casualties, billions of dollars in damage and chaos to environments around the world. The effects of these storms are only getting greater with time. We can’t simply adapt to it, and the costs are incalculable. What we are facing is huge, global warming is real, and it is here! It’s time we start focusing on using clean energy exclusively, because the better option is out there.…

    The earth is experiencing ecological and environmental issues caused by global warming. The earth is changing drastically and it is up to the American people to get up and do something about it. Why Bother? written by Michael Pollan opens the reader's eyes in a compelling way to global warming and other related environmental issues.

Pollan tries to persuade his reader by looking at these global issues from many different standpoints.…
