Excellent
article:
Some
research to do:
What
was the ‘legacy’ that Obama inherited from previous
administrations? What were the expectations when he was elected at
home and abroad? What were his policy objectives? Consider:
1) Obama
as the first African American elected President
2)
the
divisions in US society
3)
the
US economy, short term and long-term, and global cooperation in this
area
4)
reforming
the financial and banking sector
5) the
war on terror and the US approach to the Arab world / Israel and the
Palestinians
6) civil
liberties, Guantánamo Bay and human rights
7)
health care reform
8) US
oreign policy and the Pacific
9)
US
foreign policy and Russia
10) US
foreign policy and China
11) US
foreign policy the EU and NATO
12) climate
change
More
than seven years later what are the realities regarding these
questions? Were these objectives achieved? If not, why not? What are
the main criticisms coming from those on the right? And on the left?
What
have been the limiting factors and constraints, legal and practical,
on Obama?
What
are the major achievements and failures of the administration and the
man, given all of the above? The Iran nuclear deal / Cuba / climate
change etc…
