Similarities Between Clinton And Obama

Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have many similarities. Both of their first terms as President were shockingly alike such as, job approval rating difference being only point five percent and the interest in reforming available healthcare to people of lower class. Both President Clinton and President Obama were referred to as black presidents, only because they didn’t uphold the same backgrounds as did the former presidents. Neither Obama nor Clinton had a personal relationship with his father, which meant both grew up in a single parent working household – a reality rare in the time period. Both young Obama and young Clinton grew up aspiring to be great lawyers; they married lawyers Michelle and Hillary, respectively. Clinton, as well as Obama, belong to the Democratic Party. However, despite the many similarities between the two, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama could not be any more different. Former President Bill Clinton proves superior to the current President Barack Obama because of the beneficial strategies he used to improve the United States of America.

Bill Clinton deported well over one and a half million illegal immigrants from the United States, which indirectly created almost six billion new open jobs for the true American citizens.

In 1993, he signed the Family and Medical Leave Act into law with gives Americans the option to be absent from their jobs for up to twelve weeks of unpaid, job secure leave of absence for child birth, adoption, family or personal illness. The act allows over forty-two billion Americans to have a peaceful mind that they’ll have a job should they need to take a leave of absence. He signed an Executive order to place a strict policy on federal employees who owe child support as well as ordered the Legislative branch to place strict policies on deadbeat parents who refuse to pay child

support.
Barack Obama only deported about one million illegal immigrants that only indirectly caused half as many jobs to be opened up. In 2009, he signed Obamacare into law which mandates subsidies and tax credits to employers and individuals to increase the coverage rate and health insurance affordability. Obama has been accused of overruling congress to put the laws he wanted to enforce into place. He raised spending for the government on foreign countries, putting the first before the United States. He refused to strengthen authority because he did not believe that stricter authority would reduce crime.
By raising our standards of education, health care, and national security, Clinton improved the lives’ of all Americans. However speculators still refer to the forty-second President of the United States as a black president. A debate of who is the first real black president occurs here; is it the forty-second president, Bill Clinton, or the forty-fourth president, Barack Obama? One may say that in a sense, both are the first black presidents. Barack Obama is first with African-American characteristics. However, out of context, Bill Clinton was a black president, not with characteristics but rather how his presidency aided African-American citizens more so than it did the white citizens. America’s forty-second president was a president for the black community rather than being a black president.
