Barack Obama

She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for 2010 (the awards ceremony took place in early 2011). The Medal of Freedom is America's highest civilian honor, and it is awarded to individuals who have made significant contributions to world peace, to culture (music, literature, etc), or to some other endeavor that improved the society in some way.

Toni Morrison was a supporter of Barack Obama and publicly endorsed him during his presidential campaign. She praised his character and leadership abilities, and her endorsement was seen as a significant influence in mobilizing support for him, particularly among African American voters.

I am not sure there are common ideas in the two speeches. The one was offered after the 2008 election, in what was for many people a very hopeful time in American history, when America had just elected its first black president; Mr. Obama's speech was about how America had changed and how citizens and government could work together to overcome the challenges the nation still faced. The other was offered by Henry David Thoreau in 1849, and its title was originally "Resistance to Civil Government." In it, he discussed the need to resist unjust laws, such as slavery, and he advocated for a government that was small and did not impose too many burdens on the citizen.

The one common theme might be the duty of the citizen to be responsible and to take action when he (back in Thoreau's day, it referred only to men, since only they could vote) sees injustice. But both men advocate for very different visions of the role of government and the role of the citizen. I enclose links to both speeches, so that you can judge for yourself whether they have common themes.

No. It is a political satire of an unpopular proposal made by the Obama Administration to have veterans' private health insurance companies pay for treatment of their service-related injuries. See the link to Snopes for an article on this below.

You answered your own question "Controlling Man!" Why wouldn't he keep you feeling incompetent of doing things when he knows this is the way he can push your buttons so you'll work harder at doing some of the things he should be doing when you'll do it all for him? Think about it! Nip the in the bud and tell him like it is .... "You start sharing in some of the responsibilities or that's the end of our relationship!" It takes two to have a relationship and the responsibilities that go with them. If you aren't working then you should pay bills, do the shopping, but, if you are both working then he should be sharing some of this with you. Let him pay the bills and you do the shopping.

Obama is likely referring to the collective character of the American people, encompassing their values, beliefs, and behavior as a nation. He may be speaking about the need for unity, resilience, compassion, and integrity among the citizens of the United States.

T.S. Eliot returned to Harvard in 1911 to complete his undergraduate degree and continue his studies in philosophy and literature. He wanted to further his education and delve deeper into his interests in poetry and literary criticism.

Edward- And so the lion fell in love withe the lamb.

Bella- What a stupid lamb.

Edward- What a sick masochistic lion.

(This is significant because this is when Edward falls in love with Bella and that is what the rest of the books are based around.)

Bella- Good luck tended to avoid me.

(Bella always seems to have bad luck.)

Bella- I stared because their faces, so different, so similar, were all devastatingly, inhumanly beautiful......

.....I'd noticed that his eyes were black -- coal black.....

.....For an instant, I felt a thrill of genuine fear, raising the hair on my arms. The look only lasted a second, but it chilled me more than the freezing wind.....

.....I was sure, though, in the instant our eyes met, that he didn't look harsh or unfriendly as he had the last time I'd seen him. He looked merely curious again, unsatisfied in some way......

.....His fingers were ice-cold, like he'd been holding them in a snowdrift before class. But that wasn't why I jerked my hand away so quickly. When he touched me, it stung my hand as if an electric current had passed through us......

..... vividly remembered the flat black color of his eyes the last time he'd glared at me --- the color was striking against the background of his pale skin and his auburn hair. Today, his eyes were a completely different color: a strange ocher, darker than butterscotch, but with the same golden tone.

(Bella starts to realise that Edward is something different)

Mada means stubborn, from Malay language used in Minang dialect. It just so happen that Javanese doesnt accept this explanation because of their shallowness and hypocrisy. Lets give history a chance to educate our young generation and stict to the fact and reason Mada means stubborn, from Malay language that still used in Minangkabau dialect. It just so happen that Javanese couldn't accept that and stick to their belief that it means nothing.

Yes.
Just kidding, in reality, the two parties are much more complicated. It is true Republicans are bigger supporters of business than Democrats, and Democrats more often support the impoverished, the minorities, etc. However, a successful business means that at least someone is benefiting, and Republicans feel that by supporting business, they are helping the poor, minorities, etc. more than if they gave them welfare. The idea is that they are helping the poor help themselves. Of course, it doesn't always work out that way, and in fact business can profit at the expense of the poor, but it is unwise to make rash generalizations about either party.

The value of a Barack Obama inauguration newspaper can vary based on factors such as condition, rarity, and demand. In general, these newspapers can be worth anywhere from $20 to $100 or more, depending on these factors. Conducting research on specific listings or consulting with a collector or appraiser can provide a more accurate estimate of value.

Martin appeared on the cover of times magazine 22 times in the 19th century for all that he has done to try and change the world that way white and black people can be treated equally and fairly and also paid fairly

No. This is another internet myth. President Obama was not on Meet the Press that day, and there is no Dale Lindsborg (who is usually said to work for the Washington Post-- but the Post has no such reporter). Further, the myth claims the president said on that day that he doesn't (pick one) salute the flag or sing the national anthem. Both claims are false, and the president never said either thing. The first time the president was on Meet the Press was on December 7th, 2008, after he was elected; he was interviewed by Tom Brokaw. They talked about the economy, the recent election, and what he hoped to achieve as president.

Joey McIntyre was named one of People magazine's most eligible bachelors in 1992.

Employers can disclose an employee's pay rate or salary information, but this practice may vary depending on company policy and local laws. It's typically in an employer's discretion to communicate pay details to the employee.

The actual quote from the book is from page 261 and is as follows: "Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." Read the last sentence in the context of the paragraph. He is just saying that he will be with the people who have come to this country, at a crucial time when they need support.
