President Barack Obama Delivers Morehouse Commencement Address

Barack Obama served as the 44th President of the United States. Inaugurated before an estimated crowd of 1.8 million people, Obama proposed unprecedented federal spending to revive the economy and also hoped to renew America’s stature in the world. During his first term he signed three signature bills: an omnibus bill to stimulate the economy, legislation making health care more accessible and affordable, and legislation reforming the nation’s financial institutions. Obama also pressed for a fair pay act for women, financial reform legislation, and efforts for consumer protection. In 2009, Obama became the fourth president to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
In 2012, he was reelected over former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney by 332 to 206 electoral votes. The Middle East remained a key foreign policy challenge. Obama had overseen the killing of Osama bin Laden, but a new self-proclaimed Islamic State arose during a civil war in Syria and began inciting terrorist attacks. Obama sought to manage a hostile Iran with a treaty that hindered its development of nuclear weapons. The Obama administration also adopted a climate change agreement signed by 195 nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow global warming.

    This speech just changed my life in these short 30 mins. I've been making so many accomplishments in these few years I started to become relaxed not working as hard as I usually do to continue forward. This speech made me remember my drive to proceed getting back on track and becoming the man, father, and future husband I need to be, thank you Barack Obama.

    Obama refused to help black people in his 8 years in office. On making policies to specifically help black people, he said America doesn’t work like that. However, he had the country pay $12M to Holocaust survivors. On the question of reparations for the defendants of African slaves, he said it would be too difficult to do. Obama was 8 years of garbage. Having him speak at my school was a disgrace. Morehouse used to stand for something, but now it just falls for anything. The many changes in policies is evidence in that. The identity of the school has been stripped.

    President Barack Obama's election in 2008 inspired me to enroll in college, Berkeley College, and set a good example for my family, society, and the youth. I'm all about higher education and the exclusive knowledge and skills you gain from it because I want to reach my full potential and be much more than the usual dreams of being a basketball player or rapper. My dreams are the next the C.E.O., or maybe even President of the United States. CONGRATULATION MOREHOUSE CLASS OF 2013

It was nice having a leader who spoke with eloquence and carried himself with Presidential bearing and dignity, yet with a sense of self effacing humor and relatable humanity. My fear is that he was the last of the line and we won't have another gentleman scholar as President again.
