In the intricacies of world politics, people are now forced to understand. The situation forces. It regularly escalates so much that it threatens to turn into something more heated than just a confrontation. But only specialists can judge the development of political events within the leading powers. Let's take the USA for example. The security of the whole world directly depends on who is at the helm there. The name of the President of the country is on everyone's lips. And who is he - Barack Obama - a Republican or a Democrat? What follows from this, how does it affect the situation? Let's find out.
What's the difference? Democrats
Parties in the US differ in their views on the role of the state in regulating society. Whether it's a Republican or a Democrat, they look at the country's position in the world in the same way, its irrefutable (from their point of view) right to interfere in the affairs of other countries, but they will argue about their own affairs to the point of hoarseness. We can say that their views on this issue are fundamentally opposite. What is the point? It turns out that Democrats believe that the state should take an active part in building society. Their theme is strongfederal authority. It should control both the economy and the social sphere. In addition, the Democrats are proposing bills to Congress to increase taxes, redistribute budgetary funds to those sectors that currently occupy it. That is, the policy of this party is quite flexible. Knowing such details, it is not difficult to understand who Obama is - a Republican or a Democrat, what is his symbol - an elephant or a donkey. One has only to look at his domestic political projects. More on that below.
What Democrats are criticized for
It is clear that it is impossible to gain supporters on the same idea. Especially in such a democratic society that exists in the United States.
The second party should offer people their own characteristics, demonstrate their strengths. Here is what the Republican says about the enemy: either the Democrat has a too flexible backbone, or he does not want to solve the problems of the state at all. Such criticism is well founded. The fact is that representatives of the Democrats believe in liberal socialist principles. They try to be flexible in their approach to solving problems, to adapt to the prevailing conditions. They are also criticized by Republicans for their excessive attention to immigrants, African Americans and the poorest segments of the population. By the way, these communities were the basis of the electorate of this party when Obama was elected. Whether he is a Republican or a Democrat can be judged even by who voted for him. Traditionally, this party is supported by poor, unprotected people deprived of a decent income.
A little aboutRepublican views
The opposing party focuses on the middle class, enterprising, active people. Its representatives are sure that the state should not stick its nose into the economy, leaving it at the mercy of self-regulation.
They assign a very meager set of tasks to the federal government: let it monitor the implementation of fundamental laws, and society will develop according to the capitalist scenario. Representatives of this party stand up for big money, as opposed to the Democrats, who seek to redistribute superprofits, directing part of them to social support for the poor. The described views and ideas are fundamental for them. According to the politician's statements, it becomes immediately clear who he is - a Republican or a Democrat. But back to the main question.
Barack Obama: Republican or Democrat?
Recognizing party affiliation in the US President will help his practical initiatives. Russian-language media often talk about them. Take, for example, his medical reform. It is aimed at ensuring that as many citizens as possible can receive qualified assistance. Making a note: taking care of all categories of the population.
Another recent initiative. Barack Obama proposed giving illegal immigrants the right to vote! Nonsense, which was immediately criticized by his political opponents. One more note: the initiative is aimed at attracting the poorest segments of the population. That's probably enough already.
Now you can judge for yourselfwhether Obama is a Republican or a Democrat. We reason: his political initiatives are of a social nature, directed towards the poorest strata. Compare with the description and conclude: Obama is a Democrat. The way it is. He belongs to a party whose sign is the donkey. So we figured out the formal side of the issue. But that is not all. Move on. We are wondering how the party affiliation of the main US politician affects the world, what does Barack Obama offer (or impose) on us?
Republican or Democrat President of the States? What's the difference?
There is an opinion that liberal social views are somehow connected with foreign policy peacekeeping. In other words, that Democrats are more inclined to make friendly gestures towards other states. Let's turn to the facts. After the end of World War II, there were many interstate armed conflicts involving the States. You will be surprised, but most of them began (continued) on the orders of the Democratic President. To name a few: the Korean (Truman), Vietnam (Kennedy and Johnson) wars, the conflict in Afghanistan (Carter), Yugoslavia (Clinton), Libya and Syria (Obama). Republicans cannot boast of such “feats”. Yes, and Obama, the current president, does not betray the principles of his fellow party members. His rhetoric, according to critics, is weak. Only deeds speak for themselves. US bombs are falling on the world like from a cornucopia (the terrifying photos prove it).
Obama promised to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and Iraq. Only they are still there. The necessary decisions have not been taken. Soldiers trample on foreign soil.
President or lame duck?
When discussing the views of the current US leader, one cannot but take into account the peculiarities of this period. And there are a lot of them. All countries have a lot of problems these days. You can start from afar. Back in 2008, the financial crisis was born. They fought him hard enough. Gradually, the hype in the media subsided. People seemed to have calmed down. Economists take a different view. In 2014, the world faced the threat of a new crisis. At the same time, no one understands how to deal with him.
Obama is a president faced with an impossible task according to modern estimates. The US debt is expressed in the cosmic figure of eighteen trillion dollars. Steps taken to ease the pressure on the budget did nothing. And then the foreign policy course began to "slip".
USA and RF
The new confrontation of old enemies flooded all the world's media. Because of the Ukrainian crisis, the planet, as some say, is once again slipping into the threat of nuclear conflict.
Given that the only time it was used was a decision made by a Democratic president, what can humanity expect now? How will Obama do it? 2014 was an extremely difficult year for him. The superpower, accustomed to its undisputed leadership, faced staunch resistance from a country that was almost no longer perceived as a world player. It turned out that Russia not only has its own interests, but also knows how to fight for them, attracting sometimes unexpected people to its side.allies. The world has changed beyond recognition.
Is he a Democrat to the end?
By the beginning of 2015, an unprecedented situation had arisen. In theory, based on the history of the United States, Obama is obliged to "throw all his strength into battle."
The kind of disobedience shown by Russia has never been forgiven to anyone. But that's not all. Countries (not only the Russian Federation) began to switch to their national currencies. This is already a threat of the economic collapse of the United States as a state. An example, as you know, was Russia. She not only "hooligans" with the territories of her neighbors (Crimea), but also knocks the soil out from under the dollar. Let us once again return to the experience of Democratic presidents. They made decisions about military operations. What about Obama? In 2014, as political scientists say, the first economic war began. Who will win? Will there be bombings? We will know the answer in time.
