The current President of the United States, Barack Obama, has been a particularly modern president, using social media in many ways to bolster his political agenda and even setting a few online records along the way1. He utilizes social media to not only seem more modern and knowledgeable of current technology, but as a gateway to reach more people through appeals to his audience’s pathos and ethos. He garners public support and gives out specific information2 through his new, ‘personal’ twitter3, therefore we will focus mostly on that account. In the 21st century, it is incredibly important to understand the close relationship between social media and rhetoric.
The 2008 presidential election was the beginning of a new era in politics4. While media such as television and newspapers focused on Obama’s race and birthplace, the now elect president was focusing his resources on the internet. Particularly social media, such as Facebook. His efforts were worthwhile, seeing how he overcame all obstacles and won the election. It proved social media’s, and the internet’s, true reach and power, as well as how intelligent Obama was in arguably being one of the first few politicians to tap into its true potential. His application of rhetoric in this new platform was ingenious, and it convinced the American people that he was a capable, modern man; an appeal that many established but older candidates lacked at the time.
Due to how recent this development in politics is, it’s not
There are many flaws in the actions of the President of the United States using executive action to shape policies for the United States, but congress plays a major role in the reasons why there are so many issues pertaining to the use of executive action. Another flaw is that it is not spelled out in the constitution that the president is allowed to bypass congress on any issues that are not attended to. Congress makes a huge fuss about the president executing his executive actions but congress is the one from the beginning that granted that right to him in the first place. The presidents use of executive action on issues, that when applied, bypasses congress. Executive Actions are used to remedy a fundamental lack of action by congress
The president is the most important job in the United States. Not the ruler of the United States ,but have some power over the country. The president of the United States is a person who symbolize the country and leads the country by making decisions of what is the best thing to do. The president needs to know about the past history such as the conflict of World War I and II and different events that led to violence in our own country. The president of the United States needs to know how the system of the government works and different problems that have been happening right now such as immigration, terrorism and hunger. The president needs to have the people votes so that he or she could be able to have the position of being the president
The President of the United States is often referred to as the most powerful person in the world. This position offers presidents a unique opportunity to reach a large audience and to command its attention. Presidents frequently use this advantage as a “bully pulpit” to persuade citizens and to vote for favored legislation.
The president of the United States (POTUS) “authorized U.S. Central Command to work with partner nations to conduct targeted airstrikes of Iraq and Syria as part of the comprehensive strategy to degrade and defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL.”1 October 2014, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that “U.S. military operations against ISIL in Iraq and Syria had been named Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR). Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR), a US and international coalition designed to degrade and defeat ISIL in Iraq and Syria is dependent on the ability to build partner capacity (BPC). This line of effort continues to be a major challenge for the “whole-of-government strategy.”2
The president of the United States of America is often referred to as the “leader of the free world.” It is a position that garners tremendous respect, and is burdened with extraordinary responsibilities. In American politics, it is the preeminent office for an elected official, and once president, “hunger for a higher office cannot drive them” (Bissette & Pitney, 2012, p. 422). The president is also the one person in America who does not answer to just a single district or state, but is the representative to all. Because of the position as chief executive for the nation, the president needs to work with his people and their legislatures, as well as within the realm of foreign affairs, representing the country abroad. This takes a certain level of charisma, or as the authors of The Federalist Papers detailed it as the “energy of the executive” (Hamilton, Madison & Jay, 1788).
The United States first declared its independence back in 1776. Just a decade later, the Constitution was written and signed on September 17, 1787. To this day, this document represents the supreme law of the United States of America. The first President of the United States was elected on February 4th in 1789. His name of course was George Washington. This was the start of the United States, since then we have had 43 other presidents. Each and every one of those presidents has done something for our country. Whether good or bad, effective or not very effective this is how our country has become what it is today. Since WWII, the United States has had 12 different Presidents that have led our nation and looked over significant events and decisions that have shaped this country.
The morning of March 4, 1801, the outgoing President of the United States John Adams left Washington D.C. before sunrise, the morning his successor was to be sworn into office. Criticized for being a poor loser for not staying to welcoming the incoming President of the United States, this quiet event in the stillness of the morning was one of the most profound events in political history and an example of the uniqueness of the American system of government. The peaceful transfer of power.
One of the chief principle roles of the President of the United States is as Chief Executive. As Chief Executive, it is the president 's duty to "faithfully executive the laws" that are passed by Congress. The way the president accomplishes this is through the bureaucracy, which is broken down into the four types of bureaucracy. These types are Cabinet Departments (Department of State), Independent Executive Agency (Central Intelligence Agency), Independent Regulatory Agencies (The Office of Personal Management), and Government Corporations (AMTRAK). As well Presidential Commissions such as the 9/11 Commission in 2001 would also count as a special type of bureaucracy. The bureaucracy is the largest portion of government, with nearly 2.8 million employees, though even as Chief of Executive the president only has direct control over about 3,000 bureaucrats. Therefore, the president actually doesn 't possess that power over the functions of this area.
Barrack Obama, the 44th President of The United States left an indelible mark at the White House. It’s not yet a year since he left office but if he appeared in any state, people will line up just to lay an eye on him. Both young and old, from every race and tongue, he was and is still loved by almost every individual on earth. He was the only President of the United States who brought out the picture of "the it never so serious guys in this oval office". He interacted with all types of people. He hosted many people at the White House and changed many lives for the better which are not the norm with so many other Presidents.
Rand Paul, the son of famous libertarian Ron Paul presidential candidate, and Kentucky senator began running for the position of president of the United States of America, on April 7th 2015 under the Republican Party. He ran under the slogan Defeat the Washington machine. Unleash the American dream, and promised to be a non-establishment Republican president. Rand Pal is by far the best candidate for the presidency in all fields, but most specifically, for our economy, our foreign affairs, and our rights and liberties.
Every four years, the people in America vote for the new President of the United States. The President’s job is to serve the country as the chief executive of the government and as the Commander in Chief of the Armed forces. One of the front runners of this election season is Republican candidate Donald Trump. He promises to make the changes necessary to make “America great again”. Trump cannot become the next President of the United States because he is grossly unqualified. His lack of experience in politics, his capitalizing on the public’s fears to gain support, his lack of education on the law, and his disrespect for minorities is highly negative traits that deem him unqualified for the office of President.
In this article, two aspects of the rhetoric of U.S. President Barack Obama are studied, the content of the oral speeches and his use of his account of social network after the attacks of Boston April 2013. The research, based on the analysis of textual content of the speeches and published tweets, reveal three facts, the first fact was that Obama’s public interventions remained the proper characteristics of the U.S. presidential rhetoric to the war against terrorism, especially talking about the enemy. Second, was that these rhetorical resources moved to social networks, twitter, and the use of this network, merely reproduced purely textual fragments of what was said by the President to the media; therefore networks are used as simple dissemination
The first inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States took place on Tuesday, January 20, 2009. Like so many Americans I was incredibly excited to see our country taking such a giant leap forward in our attitudes about Race and equality. It didn’t take long to realize that my hopes were going to be dashed and our country was going to in fact experience a “rebirth of racism” that defies imagination.
Kriti Gautam Professor Sherry Sharifian Federal Government 2305-71433 28 October 2017 Donald Trump and Mike Pence on Social Media: A Study on How They Use It Social media is capable of being an effective means of communication, if one knows how to use it properly. “Ethical and social factors need to be considered when communicating to the public, through social media” (Bergal). Elected leaders should not be afraid to speak their minds, but they should really think before they post. They should not post if the post would cause harm to or insult a certain group of people. Whatever they post in social media should almost resemble what is written in their “official” government pages. I conducted a study on Donald Trump and Mike Pence’s social media pages, from October 12 to October 25, 2017 (14 days), to see if they use their social media effectively or not, and the analysis and discussion of this study is presented in this paper.
Referred to as the “Facebook election” the 2008 US presidential election, and the lesser-known 2007 election campaign of former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, dubbed 'Kevin 07 ', set a precedent as to how one could use the dynamic and ever-growing platform of social media to their electoral advantage. It is pertinent to note that Chris Hughes, one of the co-founders of Facebook, was among Barack Obama 's key strategists. Though quite older than the average Facebook user, Obama captured the youth vote, having around 2 million supporters on Facebook, with his Republican rival John
