The Pros And Cons Of Barack Obama
“Make America great again!” Have you ever considered that this slogan, used by new presidential elect Donald Trump, related back to the terrorism issues during Barack Obama’s service in the White House. ISIS is one of the most well known terrorist groups that have executed many maniacal attacks on the U.S. within the past eight years, but Obama had the audacity to leave each incident ignored. Barack Obama should have spent more of his effort reducing or removing terrorism threats in America than he did during his presidency because it makes our country a target for other terrorist groups, parts of our country are now physically destroyed, and many people are left with terminal injuries or are dead.
To begin, many people have had the realization

Many people were left with terminal injuries and plenty were left dead. In December of 2015 “...a married Pakistani couple, stormed a San Bernardino County government building with combat gear and rifles and opened fire on about 80 employees enjoying an office Christmas party. They killed 14 after pledging loyalty to ISIS. A third Muslim was charged with helping buy weapons.”(Sperry) Outlandish citizens do not piece together the deaths and Obama, but if they had the vigilance, they would come to the consensus that this is on him. This is only one example of the terrorist attacks that happened each year under Obama.
In conclusion, Barack Obama should have spent more of his effort reducing or removing terrorism threats in America than he did during his presidency because it makes our country a target for other terrorist groups, parts of our country are now physically destroyed, and many people were left with terminal injuries or are dead. Obama allowing the terrorist attacks to happen negatively affected our country. Overall, Barack Obama should have never let this issue get out of hand, and hopefully the new elected members of our government can prevent this from happening

    Through the first presidential debate, Hillary Clinton has proved that she is the best choice for President. First, she proved that she is more empathetic to the common American. She herself came from a middle-class family. During the debate, she preached about her hardworking father, who worked in drapery. Trump came from a wealthy family, so he cannot relate to average Americans as well as Clinton can. She then expressed her desire for tax cuts for the middle class, and tax increases for the rich. She also mentioned how she intends to create 10 million jobs by investing in industries such as “clean energy”. She proved that she will do her best to make everyday life better for them.

    On September 11, 2001, nineteen men from an Islamic terrorist group known as Al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial airplanes, and flown them into the World Trade Center in New York City, one into the Pentagon and the other crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. A total of 2,977 perished as a result of the attack. (“September 11, 2001: Background and Timeline of the Attacks”) President George Bush addressed the nation, “America was targeted for attack because we’re the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world and no one will keep that light from shining”. (“Text of Bush’s Address”) My interpretation of his speech is that we are a nation of hope and prosperity, and there are those who do not share in those same beliefs. As a nation, we need to continue to stand strong and be vigilant to those who threaten us. Following the aftermath of the attack, United States sent their military forces into Iraq and in pursuit of the man whom orchestrated the attack. Al-Qaeda Leader Bin Landen was responsible for the September 11th attacks and was killed in his compound in Pakistan on May 2,…

    As many U.S. residents already know, being prepared for the unexpected is a trait attributed to success, especially when it comes to our family’s health. One typical suggestion when it comes to “making ends meet” in household matters is saving enough money in a family safety net to ensure solvency and to mitigate the high cost of paying for routine medical care or unexpected health issues. However, that is impossible for most people due to the huge costs of current medical coverage. A very limited percentage of the population are able to pay the total cost out of pocket when a medical emergency occurs. Simply obtaining a health insurance plan, either thru employment or by procuring private medical…

    Since the successful attacks by planned by Osama Bin Laden, and carried out by Al Qaeda terrorists, the United States of America has implemented new strategies to thwart efforts by terrorist to achieve another successful attack on US soil. Along with the new Global War on Terrorism, came new laws, different executive orders, and the implementation of the Department of Homeland Security to combat terrorism and to strengthen the nation's national security. According to James Carafano and Jessica Zuckerman, “There is little doubt that the United States is safer than it was on September 10, 2001—at least 40 terror plots against the U.S. have been foiled since 9/11—but the war on terrorism is not yet won” (Carafano and Zuckerman 2011, par.2). After many successes, at least 40 foiled plots said by Carafano and Zuckerman, the United States has monitored and compiled a list of suspected terrorist organizations both foreign and domestic. However, the US has recently began to slow down their efforts in national security interest. Under the leadership of the Obama Administration, there have been many defense cuts, a refusal to secure US borders, and a foreign policy that has caused more instability in the Middle East than ever before. This has given rise to more hatred for the hegemonic United States government by Islamic extremists, and has left the United States susceptible to three major types of terrorist attacks that are likely to occur on American soil.…
