Why is President Obama a democratic leader?

Answer 1

First, the word Democratic (with a capital D) is an adjective, meaning it must describe a noun: he is a member of the Democratic party. If you want the noun version of the word, Barack Obama is a Democrat.

Answer 2

First, it should be noted that Barack Obama is both a (capital D) Democratic leader and a (small d) democratic leader. In other words, as president, he is the leader of the Democrats, and the candidate the Democratic Party chose to run for president. But the reason he is also a democratic leader is that America is a democracy, and he was democratically chosen (selected by the voters in an election). That is why we can say the president is a democratic leader and a Democratic leader.

Answer 3

Barack Obama is a person, and he is the president of the United States. He was elected democratically. A "representative democracy" is not a person. It is a system of government where people vote for senators and representatives who serve in congress and are supposed to represent the views of the voters. Mr. Obama was elected to the senate and ultimately to the presidency under a system of representative democracy.

Answer 4

He is both a (capital D) Democratic leader and a (small d) democratic leader. That is, as president, he is the leader of the Democrats, and the candidate the Democratic Party chose to run for president. He is also a democratic leader, because America is a democracy, and he was democratically chosen (selected by the voters in an election).

Answer 5

Yes, so he says.
