In both events of Pearl Harbor and 9/11 had a damaging effect on our country. We were terrified and frightened for what could happen next. Pearl Harbor occurred on December 7, 1941 at the Hawaiian territory. 9/11 occurred on September 11, 2001 at New York City. The Pearl Harbor attack was caused from a feud we were having with Japan. 9/11 on the other hand was a terrorist attack towards our country. President Roosevelt gave a speech from the attack of Pearl Harbor. The speech was “Day of Infamy speech”. President Bush also presented the nation a speech after 9/11. The speech was known as “Address to the nation on September 11 attacks the oval office”.
Following the sorrowful, unjust, and seemingly hopeless occurrences of September 11, 2001, both of former President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Blair had delivered extremely powerful, reaching, and meaningful speeches to Congress and to the Labour Party, respectively, whereupon they had been highly well-received and honored for their words. Within their speeches, Bush and Blair had established distinct, identifiable tones, and had utilized a plethora of rhetorical strategies. President Bush had presented an oscillatory tone between states of sadness and hope, an air of credibility and persuasion as established by cornerstones of promise and implementation, alongside repetition of particularly significant or far-reaching phrases, involvement
September 11, 2001 is a day that will be remembered in American history forever. This day was one of the worst terrorist attacks on American soil. More than 3,000 innocent people lost their lives that day. George W Bush had been president of the Untied States for less than a year at the time of the attacks. He was faced with the difficult task that evenings of letting the world know what took place that day, and help the American people through a day of shock and disbelief. In a time of unspeakable evil, George W bush addresses that nation using rhetorical appeals; together with the history of American ideas to reassure and untie not only Americans, but the world to stand together and fight back on the war of terrorism.
George W. Bush Jr. had his successes and failures in both domestic and foreign policies during his presidential years. With starting his presidential career, he mainly focused on the issues of domestic policy, in nature. As these policies ranged from cutting taxes, seeking to expand energy production, to strengthening public education, a startled tragedy struck. Bush Jr. went to Florida on September 10, 2001 to make known his education ingenuities he involved himself with. From Bush being there and getting a call that planes crashed into the World Trade Center was devastating. The events that happened shaped the world that day and started a whole new aspect to him as being president. Not only did Bush have ambition towards domestic policy
President Ronald Reagan expressed his ideas for the new administration during his first inaugural address to the American people about the country’s economy. He attempted to reduce federal government spending and decrease the national debt during his two terms in office.
With all presidents there comes the good and the bad, as for the bad George failed to deal with the many of the problems at home in the country instead focused mostly on the problems of other countries. This could have been because he was very familiar in dealing with foreign affairs causing him to ignore the domestic problems. An example of his failure to focus on America was he failed to create a new plan for the international environment and to place any responsibility on the United States. Even though he was able to decrease drug use in the middle class in the lower class drug use increased.
U.S. Presidents during WWI on through the end of the Great Depression embraced several popular policy ideas from Progressivism, Nationalism, New Freedom, and Conservativism that shaped and formed deals to ensure and protect the nation’s economy and welfare. The largest expansion of U.S. Government and resources happened in 1890s-1920s. The boom of the economy, unchecked cooperate wealth, and panic of the American people drove the nation into a deep depression that citizens were slow to recover from. The U.S. presidents during this time made conscious decisions to strengthen the government, regulate business, and instill trust in the American public.
During a time when the United States suffered a worsening of the domestic economy, marked by the high rate of unemployment and inflation. Ronald Reagan addressed the American people as a Messiah. He led a growing conservative population called “New Right.” The values that Reagan transmitted to the American people were fundamental to his win in 1980. These were; national strength, patriotism, and individual empowerment. His message was antigovernmental; “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”
In American history, we have had a total of 44 men (not counting Cleveland’s two non consecutive terms as different people) serve as our president. Of those 44 we have had 26 serve in the military and 16 have led us through wars. A small group of men fit into both groups, and far less have done all of this while they changed the way the world saw our nation. This narrows down the number of presidents to single digits, and if we are to factor out those who did little or nothing to benefit the United States on the inside, we would be down to one man. Dwight David Eisenhower. President Eisenhower fit all four criteria for the greatest president. military service, outstanding leadership through a war, proof of betterment of the country by fulfillment of his campaign promises and propitious influence on domestic affairs.
Some of the most influential Presidents of The United States were from the Roosevelt family. What most might not realize however, is that the Roosevelt family tree extends from many influential faces. One might even say, it runs in their blood. From the get go, the Roosevelt family has been making strides in political areas. Claes (pronounced “Clause”) Maartenszen van Rosenvelt started off as the furthest known ancestor of the Roosevelt family, immigrated to New Amsterdam, between 1638 and 1649, purchased a Farm of around 24 morgens (48 acres) in midtown Manhattan, in the very place where the Empire State Building now dominates the Manhattan skyline.
Ronald Reagan found many ways of bringing the government back to what the founding father imagined it to be. As president he cut the budget and ended the Cold War. He got many United States citizens revert to the conservative way of thinking. “Republicans believe every day is the fourth of July, the Democrats believe every day is April15th.”
The White House was opened in 1800’s, and John Adams was the first to occupy the residence. In the 1810’s during War of 1812, the White house was burned down by the British army. Theodore Roosevelt was the first president to actually call the White House the White House. The Resolute Desk in the oval office is the large, nineteenth-century partners’ desk. It is often chosen by president to use. The qualifications to run for the Presidency in the U.S. Constitution are to be a natural born citizen or citizen of the United States, 35 years old, in the America for 14 years.

To the victor belongs the spoils! It is not about what you know it is all about who you know! These are the expressions that immediately come to mind when noticing someone that did not quite fit the requirements of a leadership role are in that leadership role. In the article about the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA), the Bush administration selected appointees they felt were for the cause of ensuring their political party and America would be favored in the eyes of the Iraqi public. It was the epitome of what a spoils system was all about. In this paper, we will discuss the ways the ‘appointments’ of the CPA resemble a spoils system and how they did not. Also discuss the strengths and weaknesses between how our founding fathers would
citizen which in my case i am not a U.S. citizen. That would be a big time disqualification for me because i was born in a different country. Even though I am not a U.S citizen, I would not change that in order to become a U.S. president. I believe a person from out of state could be a good president but it would just take away the point of having an american citizen run their American Country. I do believe the role of a president should be taken seriously but the requirement could someday get modified. It could happen later in the future or in the ending of my life existence. Although if that would of happened I would not consider in becoming a
