The Strengh and Weakness Barack Obama
THE STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS OF BARACK OBAMA

His strength are :

1.He pulls the republicans and democrats closer together. Although Obama is running for the Democratic side of the presidential election he makes Republicans think on subjects they would have never thought on before without him bringing them up.He brings Democrats and Republicans closer so that they can view each other's point of view.
2.He is a very smart man who knows what he's doing for someone who's very limited in experience (we'll get back to that).He takes his time when making a decision and knows how to make one without having to question himself about it.
3.The way he wants to change certain things in America.He knows what Americans want help with and is willing to help them.He is very focused on cleaning up America and America's image and is ready to begin doing that now.
4.He is a very strong man and I believe would be an even better leader as the president.He knows what needs to be done and how it needs to be done and is preparing to do it if he is elected president of the United States.

His weakness are :
1.His lack of experience. Most people would say that McCain has way more experience than Obama.Which is true.But at the same time Barack Obama knows just as much about America as John McCain does and makes better decisions at mostly everything!
2 His race.We all know that there has never been a black president.And so does Barack Obama.It will be hard for him to become the first black president since others have tried before him and failed.His race also makes him a liklier candidate for being assassinated.

3.His middle name.Barack Hussein Obama.The first thing people think of when they see that middle name is that he is in some way associated with terrorists because of Saddam

    They succeeded with help from a political heir, a loyal lieutenant. By contrast, presidents who kept their vice presidents and wing mans at a distance were more likely to be ‘cursed’. So the first thing author suggests to Obama is even if he can not succeed himself in 2016, he can chose a proxy to replace him. Secondly, Obama has the advantage of being young. Amar believes he can use his youth to stay involved with politics. Another thing the author believes is Obama needs to go bold and big with his ideas to find a legacy for himself. To sum it up, Amar believes that President Obama’s second term does not have to be filled with problems and the outlook of the future is bright for the president. Adam Clymer agrees with Amar. They both state that although Obama will have problems in the future, he does not have to be known as a lame duck president in his second term and his fate rests in his own…

President Obama has some great things he wants to change in our country including health care, jobs, and the school system.

    President Obama’s ability to close the racial fissure has met both agreement and opposition, I am going to discuss both of these. It could be said that the election of president Obama closed the racial divide to some extent. Obama, by virtue of his abilities proved the racial discrimination to be baseless and also proved that a person can touch the zenith by virtue of his abilities. Secondly Obama’s election showed that white Americans are willing to elect an African American president not due to his race but his plans for the future of America. Obama's election to President was a very important change in the American self-image. It showed to everyone that white Americans could vote for and elect an African-American to the highest…

    Barack Obama “What Kind” 2008. President Obama main focus was to persuade Americans on a better education system. On the other hand, John McCain doesn’t believe in improving the education system, instead he think education funding should be cut. However, according to Justin Bank, “What Kind” had distorted the voting records, for example “In 1955, McCain voted for a Republican budget resolution for fiscal year 1996 that would have reduced education spending from the previous year” (Banks, 2016). Knowing the facts, my opinions of President Obama did not change my opinions, instead my opinions are still the same. The emotional appeal continue to influence me, because of the images of children getting the speech of how important it is to get an…

    “Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.” As playwright and poet William Shakespeare states, greatness is something that comes naturally to some, while others must put much effort in to achieve it, and others are forced into it. When examining the United States presidency, much effort must be put into identifying if a president was great and how the president rates compared to previous presidents. For example, political scientist Fred Greenstein (2005) describes six qualities that shape a president’s performance, such as emotional intelligence and political skill, and Joseph A. Pika and John Maltese (2004) add other elements, such as personal character and career, that shape a president’s performance. Besides examining the president on his personal strengths and weaknesses, Stephen Skowroneck (2003) states that it is also vital to evaluate what time period the president held office in, if the country was resilient or not at that time, and if the president supported the previous presidency. When evaluating if our current president, Barack Obama, will be remembered as a great president, using the above criteria and observation methods as well as comparing him to past presidents is vital. President Obama’s approval rating is currently 42% (Gallup.com), with citizens mostly angry about the country’s economic situation. However, with his use of new media and strong interpersonal skills, President Obama’s 2008 campaign and subsequent presidency has given Americans the most personal experience of any campaign and presidency to date. In addition, as the first African American president to hold the office, the historical significance of his presidency is enormous. Ultimately, despite the failures president Obama has experienced thus far in his presidency, President Obama’s campaign and presidency was so revolutionary that it will be remembered as great.…

He signed a law for abortion for arguing that women should be punished who decides to use abortion. This results that he takes his own actions and moving forwards to make it a law for people to agree with him.

    After watching the state of the union address given by President Obama, the speech got me thinking and evaluating how well the president has done thus far into his term. The president interacted with the congress very well throughout the speech. Every time he paused, the audience would give him a standing ovation. He even tried to throw a bit of humor into the speech by saying “…milk was somehow classified as an oil. With a rule like that I guess it was worth crying over spilled milk.” So for his ability to connect with his audience in congress, I award him an 8 out of a possible 10 points.…
