Obama's power : declining or helping?


President Obama faces a daunting fall to-do list against the backdrop of an American public losing enthusiasm on a variety of issues.

Obama's agenda ranges from dealing with Iran's nuclear ambitions to traveling to Copenhagen to pitch Chicago for the 2016 Olympics :
  • "Health care reform has been his No. 1 priority issue here"
  • On the global scene, in addition to Iran, Obama also must deal with winding down the war in Iraq and deciding what's next for the U.S. in Afghanistan.
  • Also worth noting, Obama's goal of closing down the prison at Guantanamo Bay is proving to be difficult; and slow enough that his original deadline of January 2010 is no longer a deadline.
  • And then of course, there is the unknown -- the unpredictable things that require immediate attention in any presidency.

It's a lot -- but during the campaign, then-candidate Obama seemed to know what he was getting into, telling voters, "presidents are going to have to deal with more than one thing at a time."


¿DO YOU THINK PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL DO EVERYTHING AS HE SAID AND WHAT HE PROMISED TO ITS CITIZENS?
