... the two rivals? The telltale signs of Clinton's political ambiguity include reminiscently republican techniques of reducing the budget, creating jobs, lowered productivity, and shaping the tax code. During Clinton's 1992 campaign, balancing the budget was not among the countries main economic objectives (Miller 4). However, after close scrutiny, the economic woes of the approaching millennium were projected as "higher then we thought it would be" (Miller 4). In fact, "in the twelve years before Clinton took office, the deficit quadrupled in size" (deficit 1). As a result, Clinton must engage in creative cost cut ...

... agree on the same Republican fundamental issues, but their views on how these goals should be reached vary greatly. Three issues in which this is evident are the candidate's views on taxes, Social Security preservation and reform, and education.

... the leader of the Country. The main reason why Congress may want to give this authority to the President is because it places ultimate responsibility on the President. The president would no longer be able to spin responsibility of unnecessary spending back on Congress.

Our acceptance of and reliance upon the media for sensitive, truthful, information brings a sense of security and knowledge of world affairs that satisfies our internal push for social involvement (even if it is at the point of acknowledgment only). We are happy with the knowledge because there is no discernible contradictions and seldom question its relevancy, focus or content.

... this system because it puts to much stress and pressure on the students. For example to get into a good high school or college you must pass a difficult exam. Many students who do not get into a good school often turn to suicide, Japan is second in the world behind the U.S. in teen suicide.

That someone was Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt's political presence altered the course of the United States, transforming it into a superpower fully ready to handle the challenges of any opposition, and changed the role of the president and executive branch of US government, making it a force with whic ...
