Why President Obama should not be re-elected

Introduction

The inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th leader of the United States took place on Tuesday, January 20, 2009. The issue of a bad economy was raised by him. He said, “Our economy is awfully dwindled, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective malfunction to make hard choices and arrange the territory for a new age” but in fact he did nothing to overcome US problems.

Any region or country cannot develop progress or work in conformity unless; a consensus exists between the public and government. The route to development and growth rests with happiness and loyalty of the public that it shares for the country. If a state takes reasonable care of its inhabitants and not only provides them with the basic necessities of life, but also ensures the establishment of justices and fair distribution of resources; then the public would itself be devoted to giving their expected return to the state, in terms of production, loyalty, sincerity and trust. However, if the state is negligent with respect to the rights of citizens, or takes undue advantage of the authority given to them, then it acts as a demoralizing and agitating factor for the people.

With Bush-era tax cuts set to expire, Republicans decided to play hardball in their attempt to keep rates low for households making more than $250,000 a year. Social Security withholding dropped from 6.2% to 4.2% ,for 2011. That means if you're making $1,000 a week at your job, you now have an additional $20 a week to spend, however, you please. A study predicted that health care costs will increase by 9% in 2011, with 63% of employers planning to raise premiums this year. (Malhotra, 56)

Healthcare under Obama

Health care has been one of the issues that were hotly debated during the recent campaigns for the 2008 Presidential Election. Obama, aspiring to get healthcare costs under the command and double-check that the 46 million Americans who are uninsured can get health treatment, likes a new public program to contend with personal insurers. In fact? the US was advised to have the most costly health care system in the world? with 13.6 per hundred of Gross ...
