Could it be...A president we actually like

According to a study done by the director of The Center for Media and Public Affairs, President Barack Obama has gotten the most positive feedback during most presidential campaigns. When compared to former presidents like George Bush, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton, President Obama has had the most positive stories and articles written about him. Some people think that this is because he was so different from what most people were used to when it came to the President of the United States. It is not even the fact that Obama had this abundant amount of positive feedback back because he didn’t. The negative feedback still outweighed the positive. According to The Washington Times, the ratio for Obama’s coverage was 49 percent positive and 51 percent negative. What makes this stand out is when it is compared to a former president like George Bush who had 23 percent positive or Bill Clinton who had 28 percent positive feedback. Now that his campaign is over and Obama is president, the writers and journalist have put the heat on him just like they do with all the rest of the people who have ever occupied that position.

This stands out because presidents get so much criticism throw at them all the time. For a President to get that much positive press, it really says something about his campaign. I agree with the article, I think the feedback he got had a lot to do with who he was and how he was so different from the norm. By him begin the first African-American president; people were drawn to his campaign. Even if they did not agree with what he stood for, or they did not agree with his plans for the country, people still wanted to know about his story.

Why did Obama’s campaign receive more positive feedback than former campaigns of George Bush, Ronald Regan, and Bill Clinton? I don’t think we will ever really know for sure. Will the amount of positivity he received affect the amount of pressure that will be put on him? My guess will be yes. Because people think so highly of him, they will most likely watch every move he makes to see if he lives up to be the president that a lot of people are hoping him to be.
