History was forever changed when a young Senator from Illinois was elected to be the first Africian American President of the United States. In front of the world on January 20, 2009, Barack Hussien Obama, along side his wife, Michelle, and daughters, Malia and Sasha, was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. On November 4, 2008, Barack Obama defeated John McCain in the general election with 365 electoral votes to John McCain's 173.
Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4th, 1961. His father, Barack Obama Sr., was born and raised in a small village in Kenya,

With news of Peacock pilot orders arriving every day (today’s was for Sarah Silverman's still-untitled autobiographical sitcom), we thought we’d take a closer look at where the network's money is going.

In my opinion, while I don't agree with every single move President Obama has made in his past 3 years in office, I believe that he is a great president, with so much potential. It's nice to know that someone finally has our best interest at heart when it comes to policy making, something that can not be said for many of the congressmen and women in D.C. People have constantly been going after me about supporting him and the Democrats, about how they're spending too much money or that it was wrong to create universal health care, or that taxes are too high, but really when it comes to the public eye, I really think they're being blinded to the truth of what's going on by the members of other parties. Think about it, the Bush Administration drove this country into the ground! Policies HAVE to be made if they're going to reverse all of the crap Bush left behind! And Universal Health Care, COME ON! What could possibly be wrong with insuring that people have health care or that people can't be denied coverage for preexisting conditions! Many other countries out there have universal health care, and they're doing great! Then there's taxes! Cutting them isn't going to get us out of this financial and economical mess! You need money to make more money! Look at the past! Did you know that during times of war, our country was better of economically? And why do you think it was?!? Taxes were increased! Sure you can complain all you want, but the truth of the matter is, we're going to have to tighten our belts if we're going to thrive again! Obama knows that and I commend him in his effort!
When the only choices for President and VP are inexperienced incompetents like Obama/Biden and airheaded idiots like McCain/Palin, there really was no hope for this country.
At this point, I wouldn't rely on either Republicans or Democrats to fix the economy. Republicans were morons to let it happen and Democrats were imbeciles to believe they could fix it.
We can only rely on ourselves to survive this mess by working and saving money in the bank. Nothing else to post but to fill in useless words due to the stupid 100 words minimum count. Don't like posting on sites with terrible grammar.

When George W Bush became President 8 years ago, people made negative criticisms about him similar to Barack Obama and also believed he would be a poor choice as President. IMO he did allright especially in the aftermath of 9/11, otherwise he would not have gotten another term in 2004.
This criticism continued all through his Presidency through his ups and downs. He made some mistakes that he could not recover from and fueled bad publicity and his popularity plummeted from there. He still did his job despite all this even through quite an unpopular term as President.
Barack Obama will do the same. He will do his job despite what appears to be a very divided America. He is very focused on America's issues and working with both Democrats and Republicans. This is not going to be a quick fix and its going to be a long process. The recovery from 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans took years.
The current crises is a much more significant issue and will take longer to resolve whether it be with Bush, McCain, Clinton or Obama in Office. Criticizing the Presidency is understandable but hating the Presidency seems to be an illogical trend that stems from the opponents' supporters.
Friom all appearances these past 8 years, being President means being the target of a bitter, biased, hate filled "democracy" who prefer to blame and point fingers instead of looking for solutions. Its easier to say that Bush ran this country into the ground and that Obama will make things worse than actually finding real solutions.
Barack Obama is one of the most unique senators out there today. He's smart; he's a great lawyer; and husband/father. I personally think that he has some great ideas; such as his healthcare plan and bringing troops from Iraq. He'll fix the United States and make us all proud we were americans once again.
His presidential campaign began in February 2007, where he gave us a great speech and introduced himself. On August 23rd, 2008, he chose a great vice presidential canditate: Joe Biden. If anything happens to Obama (which will hopefully be a good president) we get another great president in return.
I'm happy that he won the 2008 election; I admit John McCain was a pretty good candidate (it's hard for me to say that), but he seemed to be a Bush ripoff. I'm tired of Bush policies. His father was much better anyway...
His wife Michelle would be a great first lady; she's smart. I can see why Barack married her (she's pretty hot too).
PS: And his favorite president is Abraham Lincoln, who is also my favorite president! He showed all the black kids (and me) that you can set an example of being president AND black (no racist btw)
