The presidency of Barack Obama has a lot of controversial topics to discuss and to review. First of all, everybody knows that Obama’s ambitious intention to change the country with the new reforms was widely spread. The United States of America were expecting for a brand new historical page. Many voters believed in the promises that have been made to them. However a lot of politicians do that, but in the end not even the half of promised is implemented. After six years of state leadership some results are obvious. In fact two more years left and practically nothing improves the first given promises. Moreover this to-do list included very hard goals which supposed to be reached.
This advertisement is meant to show the reality which is not more the prediction or somebody’s complain. It is a fact which is proved by the time. On the one hand the creation of it was provoked by the news and on the other hand people are talking of it even more often than TV does.
The chosen idea for the advertisement probably will attract the attention of everybody who is interested in the domestic policy of his or her country. By the way, it influences the issue of the particular life quality and basic needs of every citizen.
People like to gossip and to estimate failures. This example can be compared to the field of possibilities to discuss. Actually, this might have a great success because of the topic. Not only politicians or political experts can take a try to debate. Everybody is watching TV and having access to the internet, so the chances are more likely to increase and people will be talking about it.
Approximately more than 70% of USA citizens aren’t interested in the political problems that much. However when it refers to the President the situation can be changed in a minute.
Setting the standards is very responsible and crucial part of each presidency period. Barack Obama is the first Afro-American President for the whole history of the United States. Such hegemonic state requires strong and stable reforms.
In 2014 Barack Obama has served for six years and his failures are posted on the general critique.
The President has claimed to fight for the middle class welfare. At the present time the income of the particular middle class family is getting down since the 2009 and each year it is reducing nearly on the one monthly salary.
Taking into the account the issue of the Keystone Pipeline could be a good solution of the unemployment. This pipeline could have provided people with well paid workplaces. The taxes which are constantly growing are probably not the best tool to run the infrastructure building process. The rates are quite enormous and the massive disappointment is getting the top positions. In 2009 Barack Obama claimed that if approximately a trillion dollars “stimulus” spending is going to be enacted, that would shorten the unemployment up to 5%. Surely, it is not even close. Perspective and constant economic growth can as a result overcome the unemployment and poverty.
Everybody heard about universal coverage so called “Obamacare”. It was supposed to reduce the insurance costs by $2,500 per one family in a year. In fact, the free profitable mandates turned into the increase of health insurance costs. These changes have caused the insurance premiums rise. Hence, this program is making health care reform less efficient and undoubtedly less affordable.
The military-political component of Obama's foreign policy was formed slowly and with great difficulties.
The main document that defines Obama’s policy - «National Security Strategy» was established only 2 years after the beginning of his presidency in 2010. Its refined version in which the strategy was finally stated and indicated how the military departments are supposed to achieve their goals – was finished in 2012 that is even later.
The main problem to be solved is the geopolitical problem especially the growth of instability in East Africa. For instance the “color revolutions” parade that took its echo in Syria. Revolution led to destabilization of the entire Middle East and empowered a radical Islamist forces that oppose the Jewish state of Israel - the main partner of the United States in the Middle East.
The output of the troops from Iraq and Avhanistan may further the destabilization in the Middle East and greatly increases the chances of radical Islamists to take over the region. The United States and the European Union relations with Iran are getting down.
Obama has also failed his policy in the field of overcoming the global financial crisis. It led to an increase in the budget deficit and foreign debt. This has as well had an influence on the military sphere. The policy aimed at saving costs led to the creation of a program that by 2020 is going to layoff the army and it should be reduced by 200 thousand people. This will allow to save about 450 billion dollars predictably by a realistic scenario.
The attitude of the military people to such policy is extremely negative. This situation keeps afloat only because of President Obama compromises. The really sad thing about it is that soldiers are fighting for their country meanwhile the pink slips are ready for them.
People are under the great risk defending the state interest and the truth is that they are separated from the army. Turning back home from the military service without any job is just unfair. But the compromise in the military policy of the world hegemony leader is a bad sign.
Obama's opponent in the presidential election John McCain has succinctly expressed about this: «We could have left a force behind in Iraq that would have stabilized Iraq. And we are paying an incredible price for the president’s leading from behind, whether it was in Iraq, in Syria, in Libya, or a number of countries in the Middle East. We are seeing the chickens coming home to roost» .
If further military and political doctrine of Barak Obama does not undergo the radical changes - the United States will probably lose the position of world leadership. Taking into account the current policy chief opponent of the USA which is the Russian Federation this option is real and effects could remain any time.
Nowadays political life is becoming more vulnerable because of the fact that the world has never been at the state of such long list of wars. The true image of the situation can be illustrated with the usage of different tools even the art statement. The main role belongs to the importance of the topic.
