President Obama already made history when he was sworn in has the first black president of the United States. The main accomplishments was saving the United States from going into a great depression in 2009. I do not know why people did not like Barak he saved us based of rescuing the economy. He also signed the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2010 to re-regulate the financial sector after the Great Recession.

This has helped him become a role model and a respectable person that everyone can look up to. Barack Obama also grew up with humble ways. Since his family struggled to make ends meet, he learned that life was not easy. However he developed the character qualities of self-reliance, self confidence, respect, and dignity. He worked his way through life by taking loans for college, and working to pay them off. He as well mentions that he rejected job opportunities at Wall Street, so then he could instead travel to devastated parts of the nation due to major company lay-offs. Due to his learning’s from his early life and to his dedication to his people, Barack Obama is portrayed as a common man who will represent the common people of the United States of…
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…
President Obama is an extraordinary figure who has done some good things in bad times, and some great things under impossible circumstances. As the first black president he has faced enormous difficulties and has had to weather a steady downpour of bad faith from the right wing and racist resistance from bigoted quarters of the country. He has been torn between America’s noble ideals of democracy and its cruel realities of race — a tension he rode into office, and one that occasionally defeated his desire to reconcile the best and worst halves of the nation he governs.…
A good leader is someone who constantly is honest with the people who he or she is surrounded by. A leader who is educated is able to evaluate other people's skills to have the ability to achieve their ideal goals. As many of us know, Barack Obama was the first African American United States President in the United States' history. I remember it was 2010 when Obama established a healthcare system called Obamacare. Obama is considered a good leader by continuously being plausible and an attentive person for almost eight years. Not only is he an attentive worker, but Barack also does other things to help our nation, such as visiting other countries around the globe. Obama uses humor in his speeches…

Obama has a gift at writing and the deliverance to his speeches to the crowd. But sometimes he can lose or bore people because his intelligence confuses people. Sometimes he uses words people never heard of because a limited education. But it’s not his fault he doesn’t try to flaunt his intelligence that’s just the person he is an intelligent black man. But no matter Black, White, Asian, Dominican, Hispanic, Mexican, African, or whatever he speaks for us the people. Whether you have master degrees or a GED he represents all of us.

Before the 2008 election of Obama the Bush administration had grown, “unpopular, particularly regarding the ongoing war in Iraq, the response to Hurricane Katrina, and the economic downturn that the country was experiencing” (). This means that the people of the US were desperate for a change in government, so that they could fix the hard times the country was experiencing. The country wanted something new because Bush was so unpopular due to his failing policies. This allows Obama to swoop in with his new and diverse policies and position himself as a, “force for change” (). The People used his campaign ideas to deliver that the country was eventually going to end up okay.…

He spoke very clear and direct to his…

President Obama was influential throughout his two terms (2009-2017) as he was the first African American President .

Obama’s election also shows that America is moving away from a racial based society and voted for their president based on his worthiness regardless of skin color. One of the reasons Obama was elected president was because he could relate to the concerns of the ordinary citizens. During a tough time like this many watch how the people in power will handle the situation and whether they are actually doing something about it and most people voted for Obama because they believed he could bring about change and in a recent poll, Obama was voted as the world’s most popular leader as well as the one most likely to remedy the global recession.

As President, he was able to influence our entire nation. First of all, Mr. Obama was a gigantic inspiration to the minority population in our country. He has said, “My fellow Americans, we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We were strangers once, too.” President Obama was able to show millions of people in minorities that anything is possible. An African American man was able to become president in the United States, only several decades after an African American man couldn’t even drink from the same water fountains as a white person. President Obama showed them that no matter how high the cliff is, it can still be climbed. Not only did he help African Americans, Mr. Obama was able to insure millions of Americans of all races via the Affordable Care Act. He was able to save thousands of lives through that act, which was a tremendously large impact on our nation. Many people were unable to afford healthcare, and they were forced to try and help the sick and injured through other, less safe methods, or possibly just let them die, or not treat their injuries. Mr. Obama was able to combat this through Obamacare. President Obama didn’t only help people, but also our planet. He decreased carbon emissions by nine percent, which was a major help to protecting our environment. Carbon emissions are caused by the burning of fossil…
Obama talks about different types of experiences of racism in his life that many other young African American men and woman might have also experienced.

The points he uses in his speech are both realistic and appropriate towards the audience that he is addressing, which are the voters of America.…
