Presidential Campaign Promises for History Buffs…?
1 "Read my lips.No new taxes. " George Herbert Walker Bush (one term president) .
2 Obviously, the above is the biggest in recent memory. Woodrow Wilson also vowed to keep the country out of World War I. Then there was Gerald Ford's promise to beat inflation, even having those famous WIN (Whip Inflation Now) buttons made up.
Obviously, people never believed him. Another favorite was from Richard Nixon who vowed to get us out of Viet Nam in 1968, and then never did anything until his second term. And speaking of Nixon, he also promised to get to the bottom of the Watergate issue and see that the perpetrators were punished - ok, maybe he did kind of keep that one.

The 56th quadrennial United States presidential election was held on November 4, 2008. Outgoing Republican President George W. Bush's policies and actions and the American public's desire for change were key issues throughout the campaign, and during the general election campaign, both major party candidates ran on a platform of change and reform in Washington.
Domestic policy and the economy eventually emerged as the main themes in the last few months of the election campaign, particularly after the onset of the 2008 economic crisis. Democrat Barack Obama, then-junior United States Senator from Illinois, defeated Republican John McCain, the senior United States Senator from Arizona. Nine states changed allegiance from the 2004 election.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
