Barack Obama has been questioned for his patriotism, citizenship, and, now, his opinion towards civil rights. The Republican Party is attempting to attack Obama by promoting this anti civil rights stance. But, is this based on fact or fiction?
Obama has displayed his advocacy for civil rights through his repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, constant support of the homosexual community, and his belief that every American has the right to a job. The repeal of DADT was a turning point in American history. It displayed that the United States is beginning to become prepared to accept equality for all, no matter their sexual orientation. The repeal of DADT also showed Obama’s support of the LBGTQ community. He allowed for them to serve openly without the fear of dishonorable discharge. This allows them to maintain their jobs, much like his new proposition of The Jobs Act. The Jobs Act will create jobs and hopefully bring American families out of this economic downfall. Obama has greatly displayed his attempts to support the United States through his civil rights reforms and laws. He wants every American to feel like an American and not like an outsider that is being discriminated against.
Although not all of Obama’s propositions have been passed, he is still putting in the effort. Obama is trying to better the government by promoting the people, rather than himself.
