METROVITS ELLER OBAMA?

Here asking the real question

How Will History Remember Obama's Presidency?

On January 21, 2009, Barack Obama was inaugurated as the 44th president of the United States. America had elected its first African American president who went on to serve two terms. His presidency was marked by some significant accomplishments, as well as some difficult challenges.

Obama's Early Years and Education.

Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii. His mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was a white American from Kansas. His father, Barack Obama Sr., was a black Kenyan studying at the University of Hawaii. The couple married in February 2nd 1961 and had their first child, Barack II six months later.

After his mother discovered that her new husband was already married they got divorced and she was left to raise her son alone. Her family were supportive and later that same year Dunham married an Indonesian student named Lolo Soetoro.

The couple with then had one daughter, Maya Soetoro-Ng. In 1967, the family moved to Jakarta, Indonesia where Dunham enrolled her two young children in local schools.

The President's Wife: Michelle Obama's Impact?

As the President of the United States, it is important to have a qualified and skilled ambassador by your side at all times. For many years, the Presidents wife was known to fill this role. But just how skilled was she as an ambassador?

One of her more popular quotes was;

“Plenty of folks—including me and my husband—started out with very little. But with a good education and a lot of hard work, anything is possible.”

During her time as the Presidents wife, she was responsible for representing him and the United States at various events and functions. She was also responsible for hosting foreign dignitaries and officials at the White House. In addition, she often gave speeches on behalf of her husband and the Administration.

Political Career: Where did it all Start and was His Road to Power Smooth?

It all started back in 2004 when then-Senator Barack Obama gave the keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention. His career seemed to be on an upward trajectory from there, as he was elected President of the United States just four years later.

However, Obama's road to power wasn't always smooth. He faced challenges from within his own party during his first term, as well as intense opposition from Republicans. Nevertheless, Obama was able to weather the storms and ultimately finish out his two terms in office.

First Term as President: What were his Major Achievements?

During his first term, President Obama faced a struggling economy which he addressed by implementing a series of economic stimulus measures that helped to stabilize the economy. He helped revive the economy after the Great Recession and presided over a period of steady job growth. His changes did  help avoid another resurgence and some of the lasting effects.

The Affordable Care Act, often called Obamacare, was another major achievement of the Obama administration. The law helped millions of Americans get health insurance who were otherwise unlikely to afford it.

President Obama presided over the end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He worked to wind down both of these conflicts, while still keeping America safe from terrorist threats.

In 2011, he passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, ended combat operations in Iraq, and signed the New START arms control treaty.

Second Term as President: What Were his Major Achievements?

When Barack Obama was first elected as President of the United States, many people were hopeful that he would be able to bring about major changes in the country. During his first term, Obama was able to accomplish a lot, but there were still many challenges that he faced.

In his second term, Obama was able to build on his previous successes and make even more progress.

Some of the major accomplishments of Obama's second term include reaching an agreement with Iran that prevented them from developing nuclear weapons. He also worked hard to combat climate change and made progress on equal rights for all Americans regardless of race or gender.

Positive Things that Occurred During Obama's Presidency.

During his two terms in office, President Barack Obama made significant strides in a number of important areas.

One of his most notable accomplishments was passing the Affordable Care Act, which helped millions of Americans get health insurance and has provided many benefits, including free preventive care, lower prescription drug costs, and protection for people with pre-existing conditions.

The law was initially very success in providing affordable health care for all Americans though over time the healthcare costs have risen sharply.

Negative things that Occurred During Obama's Presidency.

When Barack Obama was elected as the 44th president of the United States, many Americans were hopeful that he would bring about positive change. However, during his eight years in office, several negative things occurred.

Here are just a few of the lowlights from Obama's presidency:

One of the biggest problems during Obama's tenure was the increasing national debt. When he took office, the national debt was $10.6 trillion. By the time he left, it had increased to $19.5 trillion. This is one area where Obama truly failed to deliver on his promises.

When Barack Obama was elected as the 44th president of the United States, many people had high hopes for his presidency. Unfortunately, Obama's time in office was not without its share of problems.

One of the biggest issues during his presidency was the economy. The recession that started in 2008 continued during Obama's first term, and it wasn't until 2012 that things began to improve.

The unemployment rate remained high throughout his presidency, which caused financial hardship for many families.

Another issue during Obama's presidency was the rise of ISIS. This terrorist group emerged in 2014 and quickly became a major threat to global security. Obama responded by increasing military action in the Middle East, but this didn't stop ISIS from carrying out terrorist attacks in various parts of the world.

Controversial Things that Occurred During Obama's Presidency.

As the first black president of the United States, Obama faced a lot of criticism from those who thought he was unqualified for the job.

The Affordable Care Act, which was nicknamed "Obamacare" by critics, was passed into law in 2010. The law required all Americans to have health insurance or face a penalty. While it helped many people get access to affordable health care, it also resulted in higher premiums for some people.

In 2012, Obama issued an executive order that allowed young undocumented immigrants who had been brought to the U.S. as children to stay in the country and work legally. This program, known as DACA, was rescinded by Trump in 2017.

Another controversial order from Obama was the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans, or DAPA. This would have allowed parents of U.S.-born children to stay in the country, but a Texas judge blocked it.

His most controversial executive order was likely the one that expanded access to stem-cell research. This was largely seen as a way to get around the restrictions of the Bush-era ban on federal funding for such research, but it drew much criticism from those who were opposed to any kind of abortion.

How will History Ultimately Remember Obama's Presidency?

When Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States, he inherited a country that was reeling from two wars and an economic crisis. He would go on to serve two terms, weathering challenges at home and abroad. How will history ultimately remember Obama's presidency?

As the first African American president, Obama made history simply by being elected. He also took office during one of the most difficult periods in recent memory and navigated it with relative success. While many criticize his policies and decisions, there is no doubt that Obama left his mark on both America and the world.

When future generations look back on Obama's presidency, they will see a man who faced immense challenges and rose to meet them. They will see a leader who made history simply by being himself, and who inspired hope in millions both here and abroad.

It’s important to share this photo and accompanying story. It is no joke that people are always trying to make a buck off the hard work of others. Pete Souza did an amazing job chronicling the Obama years and he should be rewarded as a cherished historian, not a copyright infringer of his own work.

In The Audacity of Hope, a book by Barack Obama, Obama talks about how the veterans in the Senate wistfully recalled the days when Republicans and Democrats sat down for dinner and made compromises over "steaks and cigars". Governments were often run on these compromises. And because almost everyone participated in world war 2 they all held respect for each other. Now you're lucky Republicans and Democrats even talk to each other in a civil manner. And the result? The healthcare system was in tatters, war was declared because of a misassumption, and college prices were (and are) soaring.

All Ye Need To Know

Retired scientist Ronald Mallett continues to work on the possibility of time travel.   Like Albert Einstein, he believes time and space are interconnected. That’s why he is tinkering with technology that will allow him to bend time as if it were in a black hole. Despite this seemingly hopeless pursuit, he invites us to imagine the possibilities that could occur if he succeeds.  Covid-19 could have been stopped in its tracks if we’d been able to carry a vaccine into the past.   Mallett says nothing about negative consequences that could arise when we fiddle with history. An ill-fated adjustment might recreate the Mesozoic Era. True, some people make a habit of looking backward. Mississippi’s legislature is nostalgic enough to resurrect the separate but equal Jim Crow laws of the 1800s.  Unfortunately, in their bid to defend state rights, they forgot about human ones.   Knowing little of ourselves, substituting the past for the present takes us into a tulgey wood of thorns and bogs. Writers from William Saroyan to Honoré de Balzac see our misadventure as the Human Comedy. By the phrase, they mean that ignorance gives birth to countless absurdities. These literary giants have spent many a candle-lit night in pursuit of them. The result has been an endless series of written comedies and tragedies. If vanity could learn from genius, we might survive…perhaps even grow wise from the exposure.  But imagination isn’t the sole purview of brilliance.  Lesser minds employ it, roo.  How else could QAnon exist? Belief is awkward to confront because it is impervious to evidence. If I prefer strawberry ice cream to pistachio, the question of accuracy doesn’t apply. Ambiguity, of course, is part of the human condition.  Quantum physics informs us that truth is relative. Reality lies at the intersection of matter and the observer. Any ignorance we carry en route alters what we perceive. Just as a black hole bends time and space, so black holes of the mind bend reality.      Lauren Boubert, a Republican member of Congress, provides an example. She has submitted a tax proposal to Congress based on her notion of geography. Since her knowledge of our country is limited to the continental United States, she leaves out Alaska and Hawaii. If her bill succeeds, these two states would have to fend for themselves. Or, they could form a separate but equal union which Mississippi might envy. Equally unburdened by evidence, a drag queen astounded 11-year-olds at an elementary school with the announcement that many genders exist. Seventy-three to be precise. With a little imagination, more be possible. The number has been growing. President Barrack Obama created the opportunity for these endless possibilities. Executive Order 13672 was his attempt to end lifestyle discrimination at the federal level.  The impression the document left was that gender was a state of mind. A Facebook friend warned I was dipping my toe into troubled waters when I wrote a blog about Executive Order 13572. But how could I ignore it? I’m an  English teacher. When I hear plural pronouns used in the singular, I bristle. Yet as an English teacher, I also know that language changes. The MLA Style Center, that arbiter of modern usage, already prods me in the direction of a new “they.”…Jules is writing their research paper on Jane Austen’s Persuasion;  Ari read the instructions to themselves [or themself] before beginning the test. Unfortunately, no one has alerted Grammarly about the change. K. Rowling stumbled into the gender crisis without the benefit of a friendly warning.  Not one to mock different lifestyles, she uttered remarks meant to defend women’s rights. But, we all know where the road of good intentions leads. Harpies soon descended and claiming the high ground, they called for a boycott of her latest video game, though it, like many of her enterprises, provides the lifeblood of numerous charities. J. K. Rowling needn’t have worried.  Isle Bryson made her point for her. Faced with an 8-year jail sentence, “they” claimed to be a transgender female, and at “they’s” request, “they” was sent to a woman’s prison. No sooner had “they” donned a uniform of one shade of gray, than “they” proceeded to rape two fellow inmates. Rowling’s video game, as it happens, suffered no similar harm.  Hogwart’s Legacy game enjoyed record sales. In this Barnum and Bailey world, a little humility doesn’t go amiss.  As homo sapiens, we are no more in control of our lives or the environment than earth’s smallest creatures.  We may shrug with indifference at an ant war unfolding beneath our feet, yet we fail to consider that Nature may take the same view of us and our endless wars.  Like Lauren Boubart, Nature shows a wanton ignorance of geography. We’d do better to ponder our place in the universe than spend time making up rules that discriminate.  If a child born as a girl wants to be a boy,  I doubt the moon will fall out of the sky for that ambition. If we are honest, controlling someone’s inner life is more difficult than controlling the outer one. How can we take charge of anything when we are blind to events that will occur over the next 30 seconds?  Some of us avoid the terror of a random cosmos by placing our faith in a god or gods.  I, too, feel the impulse. Nonetheless, when studies show that prayer is no more successful than a coin toss, I’m disinclined to take a leap of faith. Should I be wrong in my irreligious leanings and one day find myself in the presence of a celestial being, I’m certain to be struck with another conundrum. Shall I refer to this deity as “he,” “she,” or “they”? 

lmao i am not trying to guilt trip you. It was really an extremely bitchy moment that Obama puts anyone on his playlist which is not a serious one because everyone at some point makes it. However you turned it into a whole lecture about what I think of artists and art consumption in general. It really feels like you are talking me down and trying to preach when I was just being a huge raging bitch for a kiki. I never called obama problematic to paint me as a dumb anon who has no idea of world leaders and their ideals or whatever. It was not serious but turned into some morality lecture.

listen, i did preemptively explain in the tags that i wasn't trying to get on a soapbox or be mean, but i had lots of thoughts about the situation and you gave me a good opportunity to do so. sometimes asks are just vehicles for me to go on and on about something... that's just how it is lmao. but we agree the luke combs cover is bad and that obama was goofy for including it over the original. rest assured i'm not trying to lecture you

The True Measure of Success: Making a Difference in People's Lives

Written by Delvin In a world often driven by material wealth and external markers of success, it is crucial to remember that true success goes beyond monetary gains. Former First Lady Michelle Obama once wisely stated, “Success is not about how much money you make; it’s about the difference you make in people’s lives.” These words hold immense power, urging us to shift our perspective and…
