...Do you think America needs a female president? If so, Hillary Rodham Clinton is the right choice for the next U.S President. Hillary Clinton is mostly known to the public as Bill Clinton’s wife and later his first- lady. But after Bill Clinton's presidential run, she has made a name for herself as the Secretary of State and a Senator from New York. Her name often crops up when talking about the 2016 presidential race as someone who could possibly be the first woman president of the United States. Hillary Clinton has made some great accomplish in her life, and she deserves to be the next president. Hillary Clinton needs to be the next president because of her experience, it’s time that we need a female president, and she has a plan to raise American incomes. Hillary Clinton should become the president because she has the experience as a U.S Senator, First Lady, Secretary of State, and one of the most influential lawyers of her time. When Clinton was the Secretary of State, she had made many great accomplishment. For example, she restored America’s reputation in the world when America's credibility overseas had been badly damaged after years of unpopular American-led wars in the Middle East. She went out and helped many countries that she possibly could. Another great thing she did was help girls all around the world. She stood up against sex trafficking, which helped girls reach their potentials. She helped women gain access to market, credit, and training; she made sure all...

...the heads of the American people. But what if people are much less sophisticated in their political decision making? What if they just react to stimulus they are provided with little to no regard to the quality of that that stimulation? While many factors go into forming the public’s opinion about the President and the job he’s doing what if one the biggest factors is how the President is portrayed in the media. Not the news media, but on the silver screen. The Clinton Presidency has its shares of ups and downs but it also had several movies that featured the President of the United States as a character. Did these film’s change people’s opinions of President Clinton based on how they portrayed their fictional presidents? Observing approval ratings during President Clinton’s tenure in office we can see if a pattern emerges that is consistent with the portrayal of the President in various films during the Nineties, and if that change correlates with box office receipts, which will serve as a measure of viewership. President Clinton took office on January 20, 1993 and like most presidents his approval ratings started out artificially high. Having won the 1992 Presidential campaign with only 42% of the vote his approval rating started at 58% with 20% disapproving and 22% having no opinion (Gallup). And while many things happened five months later on May 7, 1993 Warner Bros. Pictures released “Dave” a modern take on the Prince and the Pauper where a corrupt President Mitchell after...

...Presidency is portrayed as a powerless and manipulative position, contrasting to the media portrayal of current day presidents as all-powerful and ultra-refined. Lyndon B Johnson gives the audience a behind the scenes view of the everyday life a president, and it is not what would be expected. His daily tasks did not include barking orders and everyone graciously following his every command. President Johnson was constantly attempting to persuade members of congress, bartering with what little power he had. He had to manipulate Capitol Hill in order to pass the Civil Rights Act, but he felt that he was doing it for the good of the American people. The president is not seen as someone who can control all things in All the Way, which is often what is portrayed in the media....

...Watergate Paper 03/19/2012 His/145 Cynthia Grant Watergate Paper By 1968 the unpopularity of Lyndon B. Johnson due to the Vietnam War, ushered in yet another American President, Richard M. Nixon. Thought the United States was in the middle of a cultural revolution the change was welcomed. President Richard Nixon could relate to the average American. A product of the hard working middle class, President Nixon rose to prominence through his own will and determination. While not the ideal time to become the President of the United States of America, President Nixon would project a stern image that supported traditional Values. President Nixon inherited the Vietnam conflict and an economy that was weakening the greatest scandal that would send an American President packing. was about to unfold. An obscure break in at the Democratic National Committee Headquarters in Washington D.C. in 1972 would create one of the most serious crises in the history of the United States Presidency’s. In 1961 we learned that the first presidential debate was televised live so media coverage of the scandal would surely steer up the American People. The Watergate Scandal would occupy the American Nation for the next two years beginning in 1972; and ultimately, in the summer of 1974. On June 17, 1972 police arrested 5 men who had broken into the offices of the Democratic National Committee’s Headquarters and would eventually arrest 2 additional men who were responsible for the break in.

...matter of weeks, Americans are burdened with a very tough decision. Who should we elect as our next president? Should we choose Hillary Clinton, who seems untrustworthy but has the political experience? Or should we choose Donald Trump, who has had absolutely no political exposure, but does seem genuinely invested in bettering the United States? Either way, U.S. citizens are hampered with an extremely hard choice when it comes to selecting the next president of the United States. Both candidates are a bit lacking in the trustworthy department. Hillary is involved in an email scandal where she used a private email server and deleted thousands of important emails while she was Secretary of State. This can make Americans feel unprotected and unsure of what these emails were about, why she felt the need to use a private server, and how the emails may affect Americans. The article “FBI releases Hillary Clinton email report” written by Tal Kopan and Evan Perez, provides information on how the FBI did not feel the evidence from the emails was worthy of persecution. This can strengthen democrats’ support for Hillary. Donald...

...THE MEXICAN - AMERICAN WAR 1846-1848 BY: Clarence Pino One of the most interesting movements in history. The Mexican- American provided the United States of America not only with 500,000 plus square miles of land. But impact of our country playing a very important role of shaping it to the most successful economic country today. The Mexican- American War was interesting to me because of all the moving pieces. In Mexico you had the Federalist going against the Consecutives. The whole time this was going on you had the Abolitionist opposing the war, thinking that America wanted Mexico just to add more slave states. At this time the term “MANIFEST DESTINY” was coined . In August 1843 Santa Anna threaten war with America if they were to incorporate Texas into the Union. Herrera (new president of Mexico) didn’t take this stance. With the encouragement from Great Britain President Herrera decided to resolve the issue of Texas with diplomacy rather than war. President Herrera then told America to send an ambassador to negotiate the Settlement of the Texas boundary. America sent Ambassador Slidell to negotiate for Texas, but his intensions involved more than just the State of Texas. When Ambassador Slidell went into Mexico he had every intention to buy California and New Mexico from Mexico. United States made an offer of 25 million dollars for The Rio Grande border in Texas and another...

...THE NEXT DECADE The Next Decade is a book written by George Friedman, and emphasizes The United States’ relationships with other nations. The book addresses some technological and economic problems and well as explaining empires and republics on the rise during the following decade. The Next Decade is a comprehensive and remarkable analysis that encompasses the issues and benefits for being a super power. The United States has unintentionally become a global empire, and the role of the United States President is to serve as the world’s most important political diplomat. It is noted that the President must be able to at least promote the quintessential virtues, ethics, and tradition of the one of the greatest countries in the world. The greatest battle of the decade is predicted to be how the United States will react to leadership that will be interested in the economic dealings rather than serving the American people. Friedman made a bold and unshakable declaration: America is an imperial empire. He gives the overview of what America will be facing in the upcoming years which includes balance of power. Also America could lose itself as a Republic. The book starts with a summarized historical background and explains current political situations that are happening globally. It then analyzes each geographical region and assessment plans. The Next Decade is a comprehensive and remarkable analysis that encompasses the issues and benefits for being a super power. A main theme of the...

...Danielle Williamson English Composition 101 Professor Damiano 10/22/16 2016 marks an important year, for it is when America elects the next president of the United States. There are so many organizations and movements whose main goal is to get people out to vote in this year’s election and I do not support them. I feel as though voting is a waste of time especially in this election, where both candidates are corrupt and unfit. Also, I feel as though the electoral college should be abolished. Voting is a waste of time because it is the electoral college who ultimately chooses the president and not the American people.Many people don’t understand the logistics of the electoral college and just how much they impact the lives of Americans.

...because many Americans do not look favorably on the Obama Administration; they hold the President responsible for high unemployment and trust Romney to fix the problem. Nonetheless, voters expect Obama to win, because he's more popular. The most reliable political prognosticator, Nate Silver, expects Obama to get 50.9 percent of the vote (he received 52.9 percent in 2008) and 305.5 electoral votes (365 in 208). Silver says Obama has a 73.1 percent chance of winning. If the President does prevail in November, it won't be because of the economy. The US is experiencing a weak recovery from the devastating 2008 recession (GDP growth is a tepid 1.7 percent) and unemployment is high (8.3 percent). Even though America's growth rate is greater than that of Europe (but less than that of China and India), citizens are not satisfied. Consumer confidence is low and recent polls show 62 percent of respondents believe that the US is "on the wrong track." Not surprisingly, 52 percent of poll respondents believe that Mitt Romney "would do a better job handling the economy and unemployment." Romney hasn't done a good job articulating his vision for the next four years. In his acceptance speech, he presented his minimalist five-step plan to create "12 million jobs": open all of America to fossil-fuel excavation; initiate an education voucher system; forge new trade agreements; cut the deficit; and reduce business taxes and regulations. Fortunately for the President, Americans continue...

The people have many concerns on the two presidential candidates. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Each candidate has their own ideas and how they believe is the best way to run the country, and each has their own group of people they follow their ideas. A movie that has a simple connection with this year’s elections would be, The Purge: Election Year. Basically, two candidates are running against each, Senator Charlie Roan and Minister Edwidge Owens. Charlie is against the annual purge, but on the other hand Edwidge is not.

...According to media sources, the current political climate is intense. Many Americans are angry, “dissatisfied with the state of the country, and 64.7% believe that the country is on the wrong track.” In fact, Congress is only getting a few positive nods—about 16% to be exact—from the citizens it serves, because 61% of all voters believe that “most representatives are selling their votes.” (Gallup, 2015) In general, people in the U.S believe the wealthy and special interest groups can easily buy congressional support. The distrust of the government plays a huge part in Americans’ skepticism and panic; in search for a new president, they’re looking for someone to subside their unrest. My candidate, Bernie Sanders, hears the issues at hand and...

...On 20 September, 2001, President George Walker Bush addressed the Nation in a Joint Session of Congress, in the wake of the terror attacks upon America on 11 September, 2001. At this time in history, the United States needed direction and support for how it was going to deal with the most costly and bloodiest terrorist attacks in the Nation’s history: the American people demanded the President address the Nation after the attacks, and nine days later, the President delivered his speech. Across the country, emotions ran high in America and many were in constant fear for their lives and their country. “Is another attack coming?” “What will be the next target?” “Could this be the end of the world?” many pondered. Throughout the country the airlines halted service, the New York Stock Exchange temporarily suspended its operations and nearly every television station around the country relayed the latest news covering the latest developments in those uncertain times. The American people prodded answers from their leaders, “Who’s responsible?” “Why did they do this?” “What’s next?” So when President addressed the nation not only did he have to answer those questions, but he also had to quash fears and reinstill a sense of pride and stability in the American people. Hailed by many, “The speech that made the Bush Presidency,” the President utilized several techniques, explicit and implicit, that had effectively neutralized public fears and persuaded the people toward collective action....
