Rick Santorum’s departure heralded the beginning of the general election. Mitt Romney, with the backing of the Republican establishment, and the growing support of the base, can now devote his resources for a one on one showdown against President Barack Obama. Recent polls indicate that he is behind by only a few points in a head to head match-up against the President. High employment rate, skyrocketing gas prices, ballooning national debt, and an exhausting war in Afghanistan created animosity against the President’s administration. Therefore, the President must decisively address these issues in the months ahead to ensure reelection. He must pull the jobless rate below 8%, and lower the price of fuel. The President must not prolong the war in Afghanistan and must not escalate tension with Iran. In essence, a President seeking reelection will need to embody Niccolo Machiavelli’s acumen and Desiderius Erasmus’ deferential image. Now, I will outline what the President must do to handily beat Romney.

Congress and The Presidency Congress as a whole makes laws. When Bills are addressed they must meet the approval of both the House and the Senate in order to become a Law, and then the President can always veto it. Congress also deals with matters of public concern be it something that needs to be investigated or something that needs to be put before the public to raise awareness. Congress is made up of two parts: The Senate and the House of Representatives. Each is granted different powers and responsibilities.

Ever since the election season of 1972, presidential primaries have become “the dominant means of selecting the two major party candidates.”i[i] The primary system is one in which the eligible voters of each state do one of the following: 1) Vote for a presidential candidate to run for their party in the general election. 2) Vote for a delegate pledged to vote for a certain candidate at the party’s national convention. As intended, this process would bring the candidate selection processes out into the open and “let the people vote for the candidate of their choice.”ii[ii] On the surface, this may look very democratic (and admittedly, in some instances it was/is), but upon closer examination, it becomes overwhelmingly clear that the candidates are chosen long before the people cast their vote. The culprit: the structure of the presidential primary system.

In “The Choice” by Barack Obama in 2012, the scenes are mostly shot in the living room. There are couches, flowers, and shelves which are full of books and framed pictures. Obama is sitting on a chair and talking to the camera about the choice that the voters have and need to make. He probably chooses this setting with a homey feeling because he wants middle-class viewers to feel like he is one of them, explaining to them as if he is going to each house and talking one-on-one. While he is talking, the camera is clearly focused on his face. The lens takes the close-up on Obama 's face while all the images and background behind are blurred. This technique is called “shallow focus.” It is intended to direct the viewer’s focus to one element of a scene. Obama is

During 2008, Barack Obama delivered his speech called Toward A More Perfect Union, this was during his presidential campaign. The majority of his speech was about race and America. Barack Obama had a very unique perspective than many people in America, because he is biracial and he was raised by his white grandparents. When you are biracial or mixed, society makes you pick which race you are instead of being both. For example, Obama was either seen as too black or not white enough, even though is equally both white and black. Obama successfully uses his own story to address racial divisions in the United States, he is able be relatable and give a real life example.

Obama successfully used allusion and repetition. Along with personal anecdotes to identify with the audience.
The painting by the American artist James Rosenquist titled “President Elect” got my attention as a prominent example of post-modernism by several reasons. First of all, it is important to denote that this artist was obsessed by the promotion of political and social figures in the media. In his board style painting “President Elect”, he utilizes combines street publicity images with political aspects by delineating John F. Kennedy's grinning face close by common American middle class items of consumerism of those times. In order to be more specific, a yellow Chevrolet and a cut of cake from an advertising image. Rosenquist made the arrangement utilizing pictures cut from their unique setting that he adjusted to fit a fantastic scale in a photograph
Nothing would be better when President Obama would be at an event and start singing or cracking jokes with the crowd to lighten the mood or to make everybody’s days. During the two terms, he was an amazing president and did so much more than what I have written in this paper.
Today 11/7/16 we are exactly one day from electing our next president!, Our current president until the immaterial is Barack Obama he in my opinion would be declared as a federalist, what are federalist?.
