Our Commander in Chief

In the first 100 days of President Barack Obama's administration, he has consistently been on the move in terms of changing the political climate of our time and also becoming one of the most personable and presidents of the century. Since Barack Obama announced that he was going to run for president of the United States of America, he has done very well in the task of instilling hope in Americans after a rough eight years with President Bush. With this idea of hope he was able to galvanize a very diverse demographic of people. Within the short time that he has been in office he has:

- Announced that U.S. troops will return home by the end of 2011

- Implemented a economic stimulus plan worth $787 billion
- Crackdown on education and and it's systematic reform
- Expanded woman's right to an abortion
- Etc...


As you can see with this short lived track record that our dear president possesses, he has simultaneously kept in touch with his constituents via social media outlets (i.e. twitter, facebook). He was recently on the Late Show with Jay Leno, although he made an unsatisfactory comment, he still rose above it, showed that he is human, and that everyone makes mistakes from time to time. This is a phenomenon that our country has never seen from a president before and the fact that he finds a balance between the two is a testament to his leadership ability. Change is what America needs to get out of the current economic crisis its in now, and if President Obama isn't the answer, then he is assuredly a step in the right direction.
