Obama Character Analysis

I feel that President Obama is a Passive Positive president. Most people would think that this type of President would not work out because they would be a "pushover" and easily crumble under pressure. This type of president might also negotiate deals and give up more than he should. Obama fits this role better than any other role, but he cannot really be placed in any of these categories because he is almost forced into these roles. It is also applicable to his personality the most because if his conditions were ideal for him, he would still have to acclimate to a different role than he would have usually been in, but I believe he would still be passive because it is not his personality to be aggressive. I don't believe this is good for the time period we are in because with the new modern age, we have the media where everything could be done very quickly and everyone wants a quick and decisive decision to be made once they are alerted of it. Also, the new type of problems in the world where you need to be quick with your decisions or you will be in serious danger, people need the quickness to get there maximum potential of safety.

        For the 2016 election we deserve a president who is active-positive. We should have one like that because that is what would be best for the entire country. We should have a president who is assertive and doesn't give up easily. Obama, during his presidency has not really been assertive in making decisions because he fears that whatever he proposes will be shot down by Congress and whatever he vetoes will be overturned in Congress. We should not have a too active-positive president because that could lead to an abuse of power which no one would want. This would also not be good for us because it might get too much done and lead to things that people would not want done.

The photo I chose shows his reliance on others to get things done that he can't get done himself.
