...Like many candidates before them, Mitt Romney and Barrack Obama are lying to voters just to get into office. Promises such as tax cuts, health care, and other hot topics, are the main issues being lied about. Politicians believe that if they tell you what you want to hear they will be sitting in the oval office sooner rather than later. History shows that a majority of promises presidential candidates make to voters are rarely brought with them into office. This year’s presidential candidates are Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, and current President, Barrack Obama. Mitt Romney has been accused of being one of the biggest liars to ever run for president. Multiple websites are dedicated to recording and analyzing all of the lies Mitt has told during this upcoming election. Like Mitt Romney, Barrack Obama has the same sort of websites. All of these sites are typically run by organizations who oppose the candidate being criticized. Although there are many lies that both candidates have told, there a few that stick out most. To begin, President Barrack Obama told several lies during a “60 minutes” interview on September 12, 2012. “ We have actually seen the federal government grow at a slower pace than at any time since Dwight Eisenhower, in fact, substantially lower than the federal government grew under either Ronald Reagan or George Bush.”, Obama said. Political analysts all around the country are calling Obama out on this remark. Critics are saying the federal...

...A person of interest in my life over the last few years has been Barack Obama. I don’t consider myself to be someone with immense knowledge in politics, just someone that tries to read into both sides of the story assuming that I’m not intended to know the whole story. Living in New Braunfels, Texas for the past five years I have heard more than my fair share of opinions on the man; however I stay committed to doing my own research and forming my own opinion. I believe that Obama has impacted my life and changed the world in a positive manner. His ethnic background and humble beginnings differ from presidents throughout my lifetime. This will be a stepping stone for more people of a diverse background to make an impact on today’s society. His politics aside, I want to divulge into Barack the person and learn more about his past. I believe that you can see the direction someone is going, if you take a look into what they’ve done. Barrack was born on August 4th 1961 to Ann Dunham and Barrack Obama Sr. in Hawaii where his parents both had attended the University of Hawaii. His father was there on a Kenyan based scholarship that would be very impactful on his life. Ann was also enrolled at the university pursuing her degree in Mathematics, but dropped out after news of her pregnancy (). Even in those times it was a given that education was a key tool in making advancements in life. “The African American Students Foundation, whose founders included charismatic Kenyan activist...

...A presidential primary is a state-based election to choose a party’s candidate for the presidency. A presidential primary shows support for a candidate among ordinary voters and chooses delegates committed to vote for that candidate at the National party. In the USA presidential primaries are held every fourth year, the manoeuvrings in preparation for the elections begins months, if not years, beforehand. Due to the fact that there is normally very little to see this stage is said to be the ‘invisible stage’ and therefore known as the invisible primary. The invisible primary is the stage which runs up to the first formal primary in the USA; essentially it begins as soon as the last election ends. It is the period when party candidates position themselves to run for the presidency before the official series of primaries and caucuses start. During this period of time the candidates aim to gain media coverage, endorsements and funding. It is important that candidates gain significant support for their campaigns by establishing name recognition and a political identity in order for their campaigns to be successful. Endorsements establish candidates as credible, reliable ones, for example in 2007 Barrack Obama was endorsed by Oprah Winfrey which helped his public image before the Democratic primaries. Many candidates such as Al Gore in 2000 make specific efforts to boost their image in order to gain support from superdelegates. Firstly the ‘invisible primary’ can be used to assess...

...great irony. Its central hypothesis: Even if Paul wins the presidency, the powers-that-be will prevent him from taking office by declaring a national emergency, furthering the plan to bring the United States into a one-world, socialist government. In order for the hypothesis to be proven, it will take all-out, all-partisan support to elect Paul. Any other outcome — victory for Barrack Obama, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich — will not spoil plans for the one-world agenda, either. To prove the hypothesis, voters must agree that currently, the United States no longer subscribes to its own Constitution and the rule of law. If this cannot be agreed upon and enough would-be voters still believe their vote is anything more than an affirmation of the status quo, things will in fact continue to move ahead as planned toward a one-world socialist government. The irony of the experiment is Paul’s platform of civil liberty and strict constitutionalism. Ending the federal reserve and upholding the simple rights of due process are in direct contradiction to a one-world agenda. Without your vote for Paul, we will not have proven the foregone conclusion of the hypothesis in such a dramatic fashion. When we stand there in the end, at least those of us brave enough to vote for Paul can say we called them out. Wake up! An Obama victory is not a Republican loss, any more than a Republican victory is not an Obama loss. It’s all a loss — unless you vote for Paul. Then all...

...market is a structure that takes into consideration the supply and demand of goods or services and bases the cost around that. The controlling of the cost is made by the government or monopolies. The Republican parties oppose interventionist policies that put the federal government in control of industry and allow it to pick winners and losers in the marketplace. During America’s last recession the Democratic Party has done its best to try and regain what our country use to be. The motto Democrats have followed is the problem didn’t occur in one night so it’s going to be fixed in one night. They have tried and are still trying many ways to improve our economy. They enacted the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in President Obamas first month of presidency. The Act was to help kick start the recovery period by saving nearly four million jobs and giving ninety-five percent of American workers a tax cut. The ARRA was also the start of rebuilding roads, railways, and water...

...Many individuals consider the U.S. an idealist country that lives under a democratically elected government. However, when one takes the time to look outside of the box one can describe the U.S. as a country with an Imperial Presidency. An Imperial Presidency is one that is developed through an over expansion of the powers of the president. An Imperial Presidency is a presidency where the balance of power is shifted towards the Executive Branch. The Presidents have used such tools as the constitution, media and pop culture, monetary freedom, and committees and executive orders to expand the presidential powers. Presidents George W. Bush and Barrack H. Obama have utilized these tools to further their agendas over stepping their constitutional boundaries, congress and the people of the United States. There are many ramifications that come with the expansion of the presidential power. The Constitution, executive order, the media and pop culture, and monetary power are all tools utilized by the president to expand their powers. The Constitution is one of the main tools utilized by the presidents to expand power. Even though the presidential power is clearly outlined in Article II of The Constitution, its vagueness has provided enough wiggle room to stretch their power beyond its implementation. Therefore, one of the tools utilized by the President was actually the document created to prevent such activity from happening. In depth, Article II section I grants, “The Executive Power;...

...their life to the end which would be natural death. This particular group strives to achieve its mission through education, legislation and political action. Activities include providing research, education materials, information and leadership training for the effective right to life citizenship as well as sponsoring legislation which will continue to protect human life. They also support the election of public officials who will defend life. The National Right to life is currently not a supporter of our president, Barrack Obama, as he does not oppose abortions. In fact in 2010 President Obama won the enactment of a massive health care law(“ObamaCare”), which has resulted in the federal funding of health care plans that will pay for elective abortions, and will also lead to the large-scale rationing of lifesaving medical treatments. The National Right to Life on the other hand did support George W. Bush during his term as president. During his presidency, Bush implemented numerous laws and acts that made it nearly impossible to have an abortion, resulting in everyone getting a fair chance at life. Along with Bush's implementations making it virtually impossible to obtain an abortion, he also imposed strict laws enforcing punishments on those who did receive abortions. I am a supporter of this group for many reasons. The three main reasons that I support this interest group is that they do not support abortions, they believe that everyone deserves to have the right to...

...in newton Connecticut. A man named Adam Lanza killed twenty children and six staff members in the elementary school. After events like these, gun control laws become much more controversial and emotionally driven because people are still in devastation. Many parents and other family members of these events become so involved in gun control laws because of how emotional and close to home gun control becomes, after your own family is impacted. After the event at sandy hook, president Barrack Obama delivered one of the most touching and memorable speeches of his presidency. In honor of the deaths he expressed enormous sympathy for the families of the victims; he ordered flags to be flown half-staff in honor of the victims. Also Obama honored the six adults with the 2012 Presidential Citizens Medal on February 15, 2013. Obama had also said something along the lines that government would be working to prevent any tragedies similar to this. In a speech later that December president Obama said he would make gun control a central issue at the start of his second term. Another person fighting for more gun control laws is congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who...

...poles of different European citizens show an overwhelming support for the current president, Barrack Obama, over his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney. "If Europeans could vote in November's election, 75% would vote for Obama while only 8% would vote for Romney" (World views). While many ideas and opinions are given for the overwhelming support of President Obama it is mostly due to cultural, historical, and foreign policy views of European. The US Democratic Party is much more secular and closer to European idea of thought and government. They believe the federal government has much more of a role to play in providing some basic services, similar to the ideas common in Europe (European Conservatives). The US Republican Party has more of an individualist approach, where federal government plays a smaller role of individuals. Romney has been portraying Obama as wanting to turn America into a European-style entitlement society. Stating he wants to ensure that America remains a free and prosperous land of opportunity (European Conservatives). This has done nothing but get Europeans to support Romney even less. Europeans have historically sided with the Democratic candidate in the US presidential race. This European perception of Republicans was made worse during the Bush administration, largely because of widespread European disapproval of the war in Iraq (European Conservatives). When Obama was elected in 2008 European approval of the president was much higher, especially in France...

...RONALD REAGAN ECONOMIC POLICIES Name: Instructor: Ronald Reagan Economic Policies Reaganomics was the popular term that was used to describe Ronald Reagan’s economic policies, which advocated for a decreased social spending, widespread tax cuts, increased military spending, and deregulation of the domestic markets. This paper aims at analyzing the economic policy of President Reagan’s administration. Generally, Reagan pledged to advance, or return, to a free market and that involved getting the government off the citizens’ backs. Specifically, he was in favor for a massive deduction in government spending, a balanced budget by the year 1984, and a more drastic cut in taxation. His main concern was the reduction of income tax, and ensuring a come back to the gold standards, when money supply was done by the markets and not the government. Besides calling for free markets domestically, Reagan asserted deep commitment to liberty of international trade. However, when the president’s advisors went to office with the idea of cutting both taxes and spending, they found out that the first objective was easier to achieve than the second because of politics of the day. Cutting tax was popular and they did come down substantially. The top marginal rate reduced to 28 per cent from 70 per cent (Magazzino, 2010). Many loop holes were eliminated and the tax base broadened. However, cutting the spending was unpopular and the democratic...
