In American politics, the association between Congress and the President has been, as one would expect where there is a division of powers, challenging. The Founding Fathers developed a system of checks and balances as the foundation on which the States ratified the American Constitution. As a result, and with one branch of the government writing laws and determining budgets that another branch has to execute and spend respectively, an inherent tension has defined the American government. Now, every President seeks to influence policies. After elections, a country’s President is at liberty to bring his or her goals ...

The first essential step in analyzing the speech is the process of identifying the purpose of the speech. In our case, both three representatives are the Presidents of the United States so we analyze their inaugural addresses. The purpose of the rhetorical speech allows us to see the objectives of the speaker and measure the success of his words. In other words, we can trace whether he or she achieves his or her certain objective or not (Zarefsky). As for the particular inaugural addresses of John F. Kennedy, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Barack Obama, we may suggest that all ...

While it appears to be an opinion article about media productions that generated specific trends about confused gender identity, sexuality or race, Wesley Morris’ New York Times article “The Year We Obsessed over Identity” raises complex social concerns and voices personal preconceptions. Morris criticizes the 21st century gender shift that saw the transformation of women in breadwinners, as portrayed in “The Intern” comedy, while also harshly rebuking the transgender phenomenon popularized across media, and the racial shedding that allows whites to turn into blacks. The tone of the article is very condemnatory, as the author is blaming the social ...

Barack Obama has become a paradoxical figure of the United States. He is one of the most popular “lame-duck” presidents in history. He handily won his election and reelection, and has reinforced the democratic base. He has given African Americans a voice and has proven that African Americans can be powerful and effective leaders despite a congress that will openly work against them. From out of the woodwork, we now have a Republican presidential candidate who is seemingly racist, who is commended by his supporters for speaking “the truth” regarding black, Hispanic and Muslim people and citizens. Obama provided ...

This paper seeks to analyze the various similarities and differences between the two presidents in regard to their ideologies on foreign policy.

Nowadays the Internet is full of memes that became newly designed media tools. At the moment, our society is just beginning to truly interpret the real concept of memes.

An unknown person, who created a meme of a good quality and ...

On August 3, 2010, President Barack Obama signed into law the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, for the first time in the History of the U.S (Grindle, 2010).

Intelligence Community

In the weeks and the months following the 9/11 attacks the press evokes a huge failure of intelligence.

Abstract Introduction Politics has been a major driving force in the US economy and arguably all other economies in the world. It is therefore of little surprise that much of what is covered in the media and by journalists revolves around politics. The mainstream media has been the main means of communication between politicians and their supporters. For years on end, politicians have been using print, visual, and audio media to send messages and agendas to the people. These forms of media became instrumental especially during elections periods. They were the main means of reaching out to a large ...

The government has issued a lot of policies in the past years so far. One of the major moves of the Obama administration as far as policymaking is concerned was the issuance of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. What this policy is all about is overhauling the entire American healthcare system so that the focus would be placed on the affordability of healthcare for patients . Prior to its ratification, the focus of the American healthcare system was on the insurance companies and healthcare providers and institutions, at least based on theory as well as the preliminary research ...

The rhetoric religion involves studying linguistic and symbolic techniques involved in the dissemination, supporting, teaching, or establishing of theological beliefs or structures. A large number of present-day scholars have identified the link between rhetoric and religion as ancient, and that it is impossible to separate the two. Religion is greatly obligated to rhetoric because religion would be difficult to comprehend, progress, support, or spread without the adoption of rhetorical complexity. In fact, many institutions teaching religion today require units that develop rhetorical abilities among students as a part of all-round religious education. However, religious rhetoric is more than the ...

The presidency of Barack Obama has a lot of controversial topics to discuss and to review. First of all, everybody knows that Obama’s ambitious intention to change the country with the new reforms was widely spread.

However a lot of politicians do that, but in the end not even the half of promised is implemented. After six years of state leadership some results are obvious.

Notwithstanding the fact that the war on terror was officially launched by the White House a little more than a decade ago the main trends in the American foreign policy regarding Middle East have changed significantly in these dozen-something years a couple of times. The issue the United States of America are dealing with in case of ISIS is something very different – both in nature and in scale. Compared to the zeal of the Bush administration to fight every single suspected organization and individual in retaliation for the 9/11 assault, Obama administration was (and is) far more reserved about American warfare in ...

“Voting at elections is one of the most important rights of the subject, and in a republic ought to stand foremost in the estimation of the law.” Alexander Hamilton, 1782 Any democracy is based on the direct manifestation of the people’s will, which is effected via various elections. The structure of presidential elections in the USA is rather complicated and indirect. In the presidential elections in the United States the number of citizens who participate in the election of the electors has no legal value, so there is no formal method of calculating the turnout. In particular localities, ...

The article by Ike Brannon and Chris Edwards (2009) analyses and criticizes the federal government’s intentions to execute a fiscal stimulus plan to inject $800 billion into the U.S. economy to fuel economic growth. This plan positioned Barack Obama and the key policymakers as the modern representatives of the Keynesian economic views, which appear to be highly controversial from the viewpoint of history and modern economic theory.

The founder of this movement, John Maynard Keynes, actively pushed it in the 1930s. His key ideas implied that massive financial inflows from the government could fuel economic growth through reduction of ...

Barack Obama has clearly benefited from the changes in attitudes brought about as a result of the lengthy civil rights struggle undertaken by generations of African Americans. The entire thrust of the Civil Rights movement—to come to a point where all Americans could be afforded equal opportunities rather than to continue a system in which opportunity was based on race—clearly made the public life of Barack Obama possible. As a biracial child of a white mother and an African father, without the gains of the Civil Rights movement, he would likely never have been able to attain a college education, a law degree, or ...

The constitutional amendments and the court rulings among the American institutions in matters regarding abortion have led to multiple reactions among the people on the stance of the government. The restrictive aspects of the abortion policy define the nature by which the people regard the abortion policies.

Court rulings have not left the issue to chance as with a number of cases having no favor for abortion. The most notable decision was in the case of Roe vs. ...

Healthcare in the United States over the last few decades has been in need of relevant, practical and effective reforms. The disparities between the wealthy insured and the poor uninsured, dependent on government provided healthcare, only continued to get wider and wider. Millions of Americans were unable to afford healthcare insurance of their own, are not offered insurance via an employer and many were unable to be accepted by insurance companies if the already had been diagnosed with a, costly, preexisting conditions. There is no doubt that change was called for. When President Barack Obama won the officer in 2008, ...

OBAMA CARE

Introduction The term Obama care is more or less a derogatory term coined by the critics of the affordable care act put in place by president Barack Obama. The literal meaning of the term Obama care is quite disturbing to say the least. This is because it refers to the type of care that is more inclined towards president Barack Obama as opposed to the entire nation. The question thus arises as to the true nature of this Obama care and whether or not it favors the greater good of the nation or it is a desperate plan by president ...

Introduction:

After two consecutive Democratic Party victories in the Presidential Election (2008 and 2012), the Republican Party will be looking to regain the country’s top Executive position although they face significant challenges in doing so. President Barack Obama remains relatively popular although he has taken quite a battering on the healthcare reform issue with the Republicans fighting tooth and nail to deny him any progress in this field. His final two years will also be significant, since Congressional elections in 2014 will probably see the Republicans take over the Senate, thus ...

John G. Roberts Jr.: Chief Justice of the United States

Many Americans of this day and age are relatively uneducated about different facets of government. They know there are a president, a vice president, a secretary of state, and other cabinet members.

However, there are some facets of the government, specifically within the judiciary branch, that are not well known. The Supreme Court is a well-known phrase, and many people know what it is, but hardly ...
