George Washington vs Barack Obama

I am going to talk about how George Washington or Barack Obama had a more successful presidency. I think that Barack Obama would have helped the US more than Washington because now we have more technology. Obama started a caring act called Obama Care Washington passed a lot of acts and tariffs as well. Obama also Signed $787 billion to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009, to spur economic growth after the Great Depression. Washington did bring America through the American Revolution which had a total of 10 battles in it.

Barack Obama had a very good presidency as well as Washington but Obama in my opinion had a better one. Obama got America through many situations in his presidency, he made many things like Obama Care and got us through the Iraq war. A great thing Obama did was created Obama care which is a federal law intended to improve access to health insurance for US citizens. Obama Care’s official name is the Affordable Care Act or in full it is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. That act was a great impact on America in my opinion and I think it helped many people.

Obama also ordered the capture and killing of Osama Bin Laden which helped America in a great way because Bin Laden was the head of a terrorist organization which could've been bad if Obama didn't do something because he could have caused another huge attack behind our back and could've killed many people. Another thing Obama did that helped America greatly is he dropped the veteran homeless rate by 50% which is great because there are a lot of homeless veterans who can't get a job once they come back from the war which leaves them homeless and with no money. Obama did many great things but so did Washington and that is what we are going to talk about these are a couple of great things that Washington did in his presidency. One thing that Washington did was move the United States Capital from New York to Philadelphia where it is still now. Washington also passed many laws and one of them was the Copyright law he signed this law on 05/31/1790. This law in my opinion was a great law because it still has an effect on life now and if it were not a thing many issues would be happening between companies and other businesses. This, in my opinion, is probably one of the greatest things that Washington did during his presidency, Washington ratified the Constitution on 05/29/1790 which means Rhode Island ratifies the Constitution becoming the last of the original thirteen states under the Articles of Confederation to join the newly formed Union.

As well as here Ratifying the Constitution and passing the Copyright law and moving Capital Washington signed a bill into law that directed the federal government to assume the Revolutionary War debts of the states. Which is a great thing because it shows that America didn't need Britain to take care of their debts they as a country could do it themselves. One more thing that Washington did great in his presidency is he passes the United States' first naturalization law, establishing terms of citizenship.

As you saw Washington did many great things but here are some more things that Obama did that in my opinion make him the better president. Obama increased the Department of Veteran Affairs funding which was a big deal because like I said in body paragraph 1 many veterans go poor after coming back from war because no one will accept them in any jobs because of what they did in the war which is not fair. Obama also Improved school nutrition with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act this act helped a lot of kids with their healthy eating and some kids' nutrients because not all kids get much food at home which helps them be healthier. Also, schools didn't always give healthy food like ice cream, and sugary foods.

Obama also Supported veterans through a $78 billion tuition assistance GI bill. This was a great impact on America because like I said in body paragraph one many veterans can't get jobs because many people don't let veterans work for them and that leaves them with no money so they can't afford to go to college so that is what Obama did, he paid for veterans tuition. Proof that he was a great president was shown in 2009 when he Won the Nobel Peace Prize “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples” that in my opinion shows that he was a great president and that he helped many people and had a successful presidency.

George Washington did many great things as a president but he did as well as all the other presidents did some bad things in his presidency. For instance, he was a president when slaves were a thing and he made a fortune off of slaves and whiskey products which at the time wasn't a bad thing because owning slaves was legal, but now it looks bad that all people are equal. George Washington was the first person to own a slave therefore it made it ok for everyone else to own one as well, by the time Washington died he owned approximately 316 slaves in all. While George Washington was a president he got in many battles as a country but he lost more than he won as a president.

Barack Obama as well as George Washington has been in many wars.

In fact Obama's whole entire presidency was ongoing of wars and he successfully got us through many of those wars. Washington on the other hand lost more wars than he won.

As well as Washington Obama made many successful acts that helped America in a great way and helped many people that couldn't afford college or afford food etc. Also Barack as a president made his own act to help people with not a lot of money to be able to afford food and things they need like college money or money for their kids school, groceries, etc. So overall I think whatever George Washington did Barack Obama did better.

So over all I think that Barack Obama was a better president than Washington there was many reasons I stated that I think are valued and state a good reason why Obama over all is the better president. You can see all those facts in the previous paragraphs that show you how great of a president both of these presidents were but for the most part, you can tell how Obama just had better things he did in his presidency so I hope you think the same thank you for taking your time to read my summary.
