Bill Clinton because black people like him.
ReplyDeleteRaekwon,
DeleteYou can stretch your intelligence much further than this! Use that brilliant mind you are carrying around.
John F.Kennedy because he was a nice young president who believed in tax cut and established peace crops
ReplyDeleteKimberly,
DeleteI am sure you know much more than this. Good job, but I know there is more than this about JFK.

ReplyDeleteAbraham lincoln because he stood by the republican party platform which stated that slavery should not be allowed to expand into any more territories, which also brought on the 13 amendment.
I choose Kennedy because I loved how he expressed himself to Americans. Plus these words that he said are very inspiring. "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."
ReplyDeleteCarlyn,
DeleteWhat else did Kennedy do and say that supported American ideals and values?

ReplyDeleteEvery president that was elected did contribute to our country tremendously. Yes, Bill Clinton was popular making it his duty to become one with all races especially the African Americans and his scandalous antics. I too agree that Abraham Lincoln was good too for wanting to abolish slavery, and many other things.
I also can not forget Kennedys inspirational words "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your".
There is no right or wrong answer for this question being that each answer that we all give would be an opinionated one which wouldn't do any justice. Each president had different morals and rights so they did what they each thought was acceptable in their terms.
Priscilla,
DeleteYou are right; there is no right or wrong answer to this question. However, you did not fully support your opinions with factual evidence.
Yes, majority of our presidents did have an effect on our nation. But I'd have to say John F. Kennedy, i feel he put his heart & soul into this country when he was in office. Other than our current President, Kennedy was known to be extremely well spoken when it came to his citizens. Most of the situations going on in America, when he was in office, we in fact did know about he because i feel he didnt hide much. He showed his love & peace to this country...
ReplyDeleteTezhanae,
DeleteGood point, however you did not support your opinion with factual evidence of any kind. Be sure to support statements with textual evidence in the future.

I choose Abraham Lincoln! The reason I choose Lincoln is because throughout his time in the Office, Lincoln helped the Union accomplish to win the Civil War against the confederates in the south, he also worked with the reconstruction of the Union, he fought to get his lenient 10 Percent bill passed in place of the more rigorous congressional, and fought to abolish slavery! I also wouldn't mind seeing what else he would of done for our country if he wouldn't have been assassinated.
Luis,
DeleteLincoln was a thoughtful and intelligent president; his presidency occurred during the most difficult time in American history. What else can you say about him, and how does he compare to Roosevelt, Taft, or Wilson?

8 years of destruction from one President takes 8 years of reconstruction from one of the best Presidents there is. Barack Obama is one of the best Presidents there is and if I had to support anyone to run again it would be him. Obama prevented a Bush depression and improved the economy. He did this because he pushed through and signed the Democratic-sponsored American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, otherwise known as “the stimulus package." Obama also accomplished things such as, signing an Executive Order ordering an audit of government contracts, and combating waste and abuse, created the Making Home Affordable home refinancing plan, and oversaw the creation of more jobs in 2010 alone than Bush did in eight years. Barack Obama is an all around great President. If he could fix so much within 8 years, I can only imagine the greatness he would accomplish in 12 years!
Monayasia,
DeleteYou expressed your opinion and supported it with factual evidence. I am sure President Obama is looking forward to "not" being president in the future. However, he will probably remain involved in national concerns.

Thomas Jefferson was a great president. He one of the most influential people in the history of the world because he drafted the Declaration of Independence, He also wanted to expand the U.S through the louissiana purchase.
Tina,
DeleteI am sure there is much more you can tell us about Thomas Jefferson. He was one of the most influential men in America's history.

the president that I will be willing to support if they were running for president again is Barack Obama. Barack Obama wants and had change the USA. President Obama continues to enact policy changes in response to the issues of health care and economic crisis.
Kimberly,
DeleteYour statements are great, but you must support them with more factual evidence from reading or classroom discussions.
*His policy decisions have addressed a global financial crisis and have included changes in tax policies, legislation to reform the United States health care industry, foreign policy initiatives and the phasing out of detention of prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba.

I strongly believe Bill Clinton will be a great president, beacuse our country was in a way better shape "fianancially" and every other way when he was in office. He created a strong economy, he kept his promise about jobs, giving people a better life, cutting welfare, and balancing budgets. He kept peace and also dropped crime rates in many places which is a huge problem now! He didnt want war, he was a great listener and he cared about the people rich and poor. Bill Clinton was For The People !!!

A president I would support if he were to be put in office again would be Woodrow Wilson. He did many great things for our country. One that stood out the most to me was how he made the 19th amendment. Before he was president, would did not have the right to vote. We had no say on who we thought would be a good leader for our country. Wilson changed that for us. The amendment states that all women have the right to vote. Luckily, today we are now able to help pick who we think should be president. Around that same time, children weren't given much importance either. They had 8 year old little boys doig work of a grown man. These kids were over worked and it wasn't fair to them or their families. This caused Wilson to also pass the child labor laws. Today, no child under 18 years old are aloud to work more than a certain amount of hours. Things like this are what affected ur country in a positive way and I believe if Wilson was given the chance again, he would continue to make great changes for the people of this country.

Woodrow Wilson served in office from 1913 to 1921 and led america through world war 1 , supported for democracy and world peace, wilson is often ranked by historians as one of the nation’s greatest presidents. Wilson was a college professor, university president and democratic governor of new jersey before winning the white house in 1912. Once in office, he went to follow an agenda of progressive reform that included the the federal reserve and federal trade commission ,Wilson tried to keep the United States good during world war 1 but then he called on congress to declare war on germany in 1917. After the war, he helped talk over a peace treaty that included a plan for the league of nations , wilson received the Nobel Prize for his peacemaking efforts.

I would support for John F Kennedy because i believe he was a great president. I support him because he did a lot for this country like he mad e a great deal with civil rights. And he started the Egypt project a project that would counter the conditions of muslim terrorism to exist in this country. He also kept america from invading from cuba if that were to happen it could of gone wrong. And we would of lost. He also reduced tax by a lot which helped and also inspired us to put men in the moon for the first time. The kennedy name is a famous name in the U.S.A and this is why i will support him but sadly he died from massacre from people not liking him and believing his beliefs.

If i had to support and choose someone to be a president again i would choose Woodrow Wilson. Before he became president women did not have the right to vote and children weren't took into consideration. I feel that women would be looked as if they were less of a person and that's probably why we didn't have the right before. Children around ages 5-15 were working jobs that were defiantly too much for them and people didn't even consider to pay them more. They worked hard for so little money and busted their butts off to get there work done for such little pay. Women weren't treated equally and kids at a too young of an age were treated as adults. What kind of childhood is that? Woodrow Wilson made some very good changes and i strongly feel that if he had more time and a second chance a whole lot more would be changed.

I would have chose John F. Kennedy because he did a lot of great things to help the people and America itself. He reduced tax to help out people that had trouble with money. He was a well spoken guy when it came to the citizens. Not only that but he also stoppped a fight that was about to occur in Cuba.
