Michele Bachmann is a presidential candidate and a Minnesota congresswoman. She is known for her success as a small business owner, a U.S. tax attorney, federal lawmaker, a wife, and mother. She has made her appearance known to the public due to her outspoken negativity towards the President of the United States, and her famous quote "Barack Obama is a one term President". Although the election is far away, Bachmann has managed to cause individuals to have a "change of heart" towards her vote, due to her controversial statements. Many have realized that Bachmann voices without actual facts; therefore, causing individuals’ to lack confidence in her campaign and see her as another Sarah Palin. Anyone who recalls Sarah Palin’s Death in March 2008 can tell you that she based some of her overall opinions on important topics off fabrications to boost her campaign (Makin). Michele Bachmann is unfit for the position she seeks for the President of the United States.
Although feminist are “tired” of pointing out that people have been sexiest in their treatment towards Michele Bachmann. The same feminist have noticed Bachmann caused most of the unfairness upon herself, due to her actions and her choice of words to the public. First and Foremost, Bachmann has criticized President Barack Obama on his lack of empathy for the American citizens; however, she has not managed to come up with a solution to help the struggling economy. Secondly, Bachmann tried defending the human papillomavirus and Gay Marriage comments on the "Tonight Show" with Jay Leno; however, it just showed viewers that she does not stand strong on her view points when under pressure.

- Condoleezza Riceanalytical essayCondoleezza Rice At this point in time the name and image of Condoleezza Rice is commonplace among the majority of informed Americans. As the first female to serve as the National Security Advisor to the President of the United States, Dr. Rice was propelled even further into the spotlight following the attacks on America on September 11th 2001. I too, like most Americans, saw a lot more of Condi, as she is known by her many friends and colleagues, after September 11. Clearly she was intelligent and always remained calm and poised in the face of adversity and standing before the cameras. I also noticed and appreciated her articulation and was even moved by what seemed like her stoic yet compassionate presentation.

1112 wordsRead More - What Is Michelle Obama Essayanalytical essayNot only has she graduated from two exceptional Ivy League colleges (Princeton and Harvard), she is also a lawyer. She was raised on the South Side of Chicago, had opportunities to study at prestigious universities, returned to her hometown, married, and raised two beautiful daughters. Unlike Barack, Michelle has two black parents and a black sibling, and she comes from a city readily associated with black life and politics. She even has a family tree that traces back to American slavery. Observers comfortably frame Michelle Obama as angry Sapphire figure, but how is that possible when she is one out of the few mothers who hold degrees from the most reputable schools around the world. Again, her critique was taken as evidence of her ideational anger. Michelle Obama is the most known example of an African American woman who has worked hard to become who she is today and is probably the most idealistic perfect woman. Still the success and difficulty she has experienced in gaining accurate recognition is emblematic, if not typical, of black women’s citizenship struggles. She is still only seen as the stereotypical black woman in the eyes of supremacist even though she has out succeeded the majority of people today. One could assume that Michelle Obama is someone who could be looked to as faultless representation of how black women can achieve and obtain such incredible power. Unfortunately, not even the first lady is respected even with her credentials. For example. there were attempts to frame her with the common trope of hypersexuality. In the heat of the general election fight, Fox News referred to her as “Barack’s baby mama”. Instead she fights strong against these over rationalized comments because she knows she is better than what they say. If Michelle Obama, the First Lady of the United States, is not recognized as credible, than it is clear that no black woman will ever be

Hillary Clinton, even though her husband is former president Bill Clinton, has made a name for herself though her hard work and diligence. An example of this ignorance would be the rapper T.I. commenting on Hillary Clinton and how she should not be president, "Not to be sexist, I can 't vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman"(CNN). Being flabbergasted by this is an understatement. Everyone should be given the opportunity to do what they want to, and be evaluated by their abilities and skills, not their race, sex, or religion. Ignoring comments like this shows how strong and intelligent of a person she is. In a recent debate Bernie Sanders, another candidate for the presidency, said “all the shouting in the world” wouldn’t fix the gun violence problem” (FoxNews). Hillary Clinton thought this statement was aimed towards her and accused Bernie Sanders of the sexist comment. While in Iowa she addressed it saying “I haven’t been shouting, but sometimes when a woman speaks up, some people think its shouting” (FoxNews). After these allegations on both sides the next occurrence of sexism came from the mouth of Sanders campaign manager, “we’re willing to giver her more credit than Obama did. We’re willing to consider her for vice president. We’ll giver her serious consideration. We’ll even interview her.” (FoxNews). This statement would make most woman infuriated let alone a woman who is running for the presidency. This is sexist because the way Sander’s manager phrases it, it sounds as if Hillary belongs below a man. Some are questioning if these proclamations are actually sexist. To determine this would be up to the interpreter themselves. When presenting yourself in front of a crowed want to be dressed to impress. Hilary Clinton and her signature pant suits are

Depictions of Clinton’s projected image have little basis in fact. While she is not overtly misogynistic or racist like other politicians who are running for presidency, her actions as a policymaker have had the same devastating impacts to non-white women locally in America and abroad as her male peers. Though Clinton is one of the first women to run for presidency and be taken seriously (which certainly is to due to white privilege), she still condones foreign policies that destroy the lives of women around the world.

This however is not by far her most notable achievement, speaker of the house aside, under her guidance the 111th US Congress was said to be the most productive in the history of its conception. This means that she was able to oversee the 111th Congress in a manner that minimized the terrible three, collective action problems, commitment problems, and coordination problems.
