Despite on what side of the political party adults stood on , during the elections of 2008, our future President would be the first for its own kind. Illinois State Senator, Barack Obama and Arizona State Senator, John McCain were battling it out to be America's next greatest leader.In the hands of trusted adults laid the future for our country. We would either have our first African American President, or the oldest man to hold the position as President.Obama won , not only his 1st term ,but his 2nd term as well.
Many Americans weren't happy .They went out of there way and dedicated themselves to attack Obama's personal life, rather than his political career and the choices being made for our country.
As we all know from our basic knowledge in government, one of the requirements to be The President of the United States is that you must be an American citizen. Based on his family roots, people, also known as the "Birthers", were claiming that Obama's birth certificate was a fake and he was born in the African country of Kenya. The Birthers were taking in consideration that Obama's last name sounded a lot like Osama, or that his middle name is Hussein. All these middle eastern orgins created talk among fellow Americans. If the attack wasn't that he was not born in America , it was that he had Middle Eastern connections, and that wasn't necessarily something to brag about in the USA.
Religions were also attacking our President. They were calling him the Anti-Christ , that would cause the end of our world. Groups of people were finding ways to tie his name with Blasphemy , which meant some type of curse.American citizens were worried about their lives , because the leader of the country they lived in would end their lives. There have been quotes from the bible being tied to the actions of Obama.
In theory if President Obama would not have been targeted personally , a lot of changes would have been made possible, or as well as being able to carry out former President George W. Bush. A big problem right now is the controversy with Obama Care, even though it has passed through. People assume just because it was Obama's idea or the medical plan is named after him , it's stupid. I'm pretty sure people aren't reading the fine print on the new policy, and taking time to judge it for what it really is. This new policy could change the world if it really was judged for what it was made to do and help out. Also people think that Obama is to blame for sending the most troops out to Middle East when in fact it was former President George W. Bush who deployed the most troops. Americans don't care to think the what behind his reasoning only the fact that he is taking a certain action.
In 2001 Fast & Furious introduced a modern antihero , Dominic Toretto , or also known as Dom. The film has had major publicity since the death of Paul Walker. The 6 Fast & Furious movies have to do with car racing , drugs, and breaking the law. We have grown to love Dom , even though every move he makes is illegal.
The first installment of the Fast & Furious series is about a group of high-speed cars who steal oil as its being transported . Undercover cop Brian O'Conner is put on the special mission to uncover who the team is. Both the audience and Brian learn that Dom is a family man , and he would do whatever to keep his family safe. The head honcho himself and his "family" are the group who is stealing the oil for money.
Ichabod and Dom share the same desire for money . Only that Ichabod chooses to inherit the money from the father of his beloved Katrina , and Dom steals oil. Both will not use the money for bad, but their methods of receiving the money is questionable. Ichabod is a teacher and doesn't earn the money he desires. Dom motives are to better the conditions for him and his family as we see that , they live in a rough neighborhood.
When Dom is in trouble he knows exactly what to say to get himself out of a life threatening situation. For Ichabod his manipulative ways are to get people to like him specially , the upper class. Although this strategy might be used for two different the men know the words to say and master it very well. We may call a person who manipulative a liar or someone we can't trust. The way Dom and Ichabod control people is very astonishing to us.
Both men have the intelligence to get what they want. When Dom finds out that Letty was "killed" by Felix he wanted to make sure Felix was put to his misery, in this case Dom wants revenge. Ichabod uses his intelligence by stopping by his student's house to get fed by the mothers. We would call Dom's intelligence street smart. Should we still be able to love Dom after he kills Felix out of revenge?
The fact is although Dom performs illegal actions, we still love him and can't get enough of the movies! Dominic portreys the rebel inside of us and I think that's why we love him and don't want him to get hurt or caught. So what he killed Felix, didn't he deserve it for "killing" Letty, Dom's true love. We want to see Dom happy and being able to provide for his family. We admire the skills Dominic has, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who wishes they could drive as fast and crazy as him.
