The United States just elected a new president recently. This is a major event, because this is a country that values the citizens right to vote above many other rights and privileges. The months and weeks leading up to the election were very divisive and showed how humans have a long way to go before reaching a peaceful resolution of
The candidates that are running for president are terrible. I wouldn’t want to picky any of them. However, if I had to pick a certain celebrity, it would only come close to Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney seems to show as the only person that could actually run in this election and be professional.
Who: The president of the United States, Barack Obama. What: The “National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016” is a defense spending bill. It will “direct funding for procurement, research, and operation of defense technology, establish military policy, and address other matters pertaining to national defense.” However, President Obama used his veto power for only the fifth time during his term as president to veto this bill. Obama is confident, based on considerable Democratic disapproval to the defense spending, that the Congress will uphold his veto.
Exactly 25 years ago, then, President Clinton was forced to declare at a press conference, “I’m relevant. The Constitution gives me relevance.” Both houses of U.S. Congress had favored the Republican Party and the GOP was rolling out its legislative plans. The next morning, the Oklahoma City Federal Building exploded. The Pundits of this time era went ahead to write that it was a government shutdown later in the year which allowed Clinton to trump the Republicans.
Recently a former republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, has said that the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is on track to win his his party’s nomination. If he does, the chance for a safer future is “greatly diminished,” said Mitt Romney during a speech at the University of Utah. This connects the core demographic value of liberty, because Mitt Romney is expressing his ideas in public. On March 3, 2016 he said any other Republican candidates would be better than Donald Trump.
In the year 1956, two men faced off to become the president of the United States of America. These two Candidates were Dwight D. Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson. Eisenhower was the current president running for re-election by the Republican party. As for Stevenson, this was his first time running for office, and he was representing the Democratic party. Both parties had a good chance to win, but it was hard to persuade people.
The Obama- Biden foreign policy is said to have created ISIS. The foreign policy is said to end the war in Iraq responsibly, finish the fight against the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan, secure nuclear weapons and loose nuclear weapons from terrorists but has not done so. The policy has made the US feel less safe. US citizens believe that they should not have limitations on the right to bear arms. They use their arms to keep them safe not for harm.
Hillary Clinton has made many promises that she plans to fulfill if she is to be elected and some of them are complete opposites of the Republican candidate Donald Trump’s views. Hillary Clinton has declared that she would like to accomplish such objectives. Out of the many objectives that she has states the three that I would like to cover on such as when she stated that “for families making less than $125,000 a year, [she] will eliminate tuition” for in-state students of public colleges, getting rid of the tax loopholes for the rich, and increasing the federal minimum wage. These objectives seem to be hard to accomplish since each of them would require copious amounts of money and effort. One of her objectives is to make public college free
Human rights, education, and child poverty are some big issues that are sometimes overlooked in the United States. There are many candidates that are running for the 2016 presidential election. On the Democrat side is Lincoln Chafee, Hillary Clinton, Lawrence Lessig, Martin O’Malley, Bernie Sanders, and last Jim Webb. On the Republican side, we have Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina, Jim Gilmore, Lindsey Graham, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, John Kasich, George Pataki, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Rick Santorum, Donald Trump, and last Scott Walker. I chose very important issues and I feel like we need a president that are very serious about taking action.
When Americans go to the polls on November 8 to vote for president, there will be only one responsible choice on the ballot. One candidate has a lifelong devotion to public service, and the other completely lacks the experience and temperament to be president. For this reason, The Bear Truth Editorial Board endorses Hillary Clinton. The appeal of Donald Trump is real.
No matter the race or the nationality of the people, a president should find a better life for them as the leader he/she is. Hillary Clinton would be a good president in this presidential election, because she has more experience about the government or the country than the other candidate. Mrs. Clinton has an opportunity to be the next president, because as many immigrants live in the U.S.A; most of them are part of the Latino community, Mr. Donald Trump had been insulted them, become very racist about it, and he is planning to deported all of them. While Mrs. Hillary Clinton has been saying that she would help immigrants by fixing the immigration system.
In comparison with the new 2016 presidential campaign race, democratic frontrunner, Hillary Clinton will use similar racially-charged tactics to retain the Black minority vote. Unlike Obama, Hillary is a white presidential candidate; therefore, she can strategically garner the majority of Black votes because of the lack of African-American democratic candidates in the presidential race. Instead, Clinton will use the absence of said democratic candidates for her advantage. In the MSNBC article entitled, Clinton Showcases Strength with Black Voters in South Carolina, by Alex Seitz-Wald and Perry Bacon Jr. the authors report Clinton’s decisive rate of Black supporters. The reporters write that Clinton’s senior policy advisor, Maya Harris, states
Obama’s “Un-America”: In 2008 people voted for hope and change, but is that really what the American citizens received? Many promises were made by this community organizer, but were they truly kept? His three important promises were cutting the national debt in half by the end of his first term, redistributing wealth from the rich to the poor among citizens to create jobs, and providing insurance to all people through his legislation Obama Care. Six years later, these promises are still not carried out.
In 2016, the candidates running for president are Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Jill Stein and Gary Johnson. One of the major issues our nation is facing has to do with United States troops fighting ISIS and torture/enhanced interrogation. “ISIS has a different kind of fighting, killing dozens of families and public executions and others”(“CNN.”). “In the U.S., the Navy Seals have been handling these terrorists with waterboarding, but have dropped it because of members not being able to survive” (“HowStuffWorks.”). The candidates from the major parties, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have specific plans to deal with the major issues of our military,the plans just happen to be extremely different.
To Trust or Not to Trust It was once said that, “The vote is a trust more delicate than any other, for it involves not just the interests of the voter, but his life, honor and future as well”(Marti, 2016, para. 1). Although many do not realize it, placing a vote for someone is a significant action and it has considerable consequences, as this quote points out. If to vote for someone is actually to trust them with “life, honor and future”, the voter must make sure to know and trust whomever they vote for. In the upcoming election, many voters are supporting candidate Hillary Clinton. Unfortunately, it seems they do not actually know her troubling record.
