Compare And Contrast Jfk And George W. Bush

What does it take to be the president of the United States of America? The Constitution lists only three qualifications for the Presidency — the President must be at least 35 years of age, be a natural born citizen, and must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years, but is that really all it takes? No! Even if you meet all of those requirements you still have quite a bit of work cut out for yourself. It is a very long process to even be considered in the running for president, with campaigning your way throughout the country, then having to be selected by the citizens themselves. A lot of work right?. Both JFK and George W. Bush had to make their way through this process. Both president’s JFK and George W. Bush have similar visions

JFK's reasoning behind wanting a united country was to be able to abolish past conflict with the Soviet Union which had sparked from the cold war. George W. Bush's reasoning behind wanting a united country was to be able to settle and overcome the conflicts within the United States of America. Both of the presidents have a very important role in the world as the leader of the United States of America. Both JFK’s “Inaugural Address” and George W. Bush's Inaugural Address'' come across with a sense of “recruitment” as both are asking for us to come together as one and do what is right for the US and other countries. However, JFK’s speech is focusing on how we need to come together to solve issues the US could be facing with other countries and George W. Bush’s speech is about how we need to come together to put an end to the conflict we are having within our own country and what it truly means to be

Bush's inaugural speech he addressed the importance of the United States coming together to overcome conflict that is happening within our own country and how we truly need to be American. He shows this is when he said “America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideas that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests, and teach us what it means to be citizens. Every child must be taught these principles. Every citizen must uphold them. And every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, American.” (George W. Bush Inau) This showed that even though we all have different backgrounds, culture, and religions that does not make a difference in how American we are. We need everyone to come together to resolve our own conflicts. We must work together as one, we must use our differences to our advantage, we must learn from each other's differences, not let them divide us. Another way he brought up the importance of coming together as one was when he said “Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty. But we can listen to those who do.” (George W. Bush Inau) This is showing that even though we might not know first hand what it is like for everyone in all parts of the US we must all come together, we must listen to what they have to say. We must take all of the individual experiences and use them to grow as individuals and as a whole. We all need to accept each other and our differences.
