Obama PresidencyBarack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961. He attended Harvard Law School. After graduation, he continued his legal work as a civil rights attorney and professor teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago. He was elected to the Illinois State Senate in 1996. He served there for three terms (1996-2004). Later, he started his campaign in 2007 for the 2008 presidential election. He won the presidential election against John McCain, his Republican opponent and took office on January 20, 2009. He became the 44th President of the States -United of America. America. He is best known for being the first African American to ever serve in the White House. During his tenure, he implemented several national policies. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), aka Obama Care, is a good thing to mention. It is health care reform that deliberately aims to give more Americans access to affordable, quality health insurance and reduce the growth of health care spending in the United States. This was to reduce the number of uninsured people and help stimulate the economy. One of the reasons why this law does not work is that “Americans are selfish” – Vu, 32 years old. By saying this, he meant that many Americans think they pay (high) taxes for those who don't care about their health. . Those who are not responsible for their health will end up depending on this act of government; they will benefit from it. Those who are responsible for their health think that it is not their place to take care of those who do not even take care of themselves. Despite all the motivational videos, advertisements, posters, speeches, people still walk around with bad habits like smoking, drinking... middle of paper ......istan. His great efforts to pass health reform should be honored, even if they encountered difficulties; his action to recapitalize the bank in the midst of a financial crisis. The list is long. We can't deny that leading a class as president in high school is difficult. We are talking about a nation, one of the key nations in the global perspective. It's full of stress and pressure. It is not easy for Mr. Obama or any president before him to lead this country. They're all doing their best for this thing they're dealing with. Some efforts were not well thought out, but at least they allowed us to move forward. Mr. Obama's leadership is doing a job well done for Americans. We should highly appreciate his will and commitment to our countries. As he continues his final term, we should pray that he has an open mind, that he has a brighter view of everything..
