Obama 1 year later
Today is exactly 1 year after Obama was sworn into office as the 44th President of the United States.
How do you feel he has done? Has he lived up to your expectations? Has he lived up to the fail you expected to see?
I give everyone a chance, because actions are louder than any rhetoric and dogma. In the past year, I haven't seen Mr. Obama complete anything that he stated he would. I don't think he's done nothing, but his promises were big and grand. I don't think he delivered a single one.
The stimulus package was too short, it didn't provide enough jobs. I know of many people who got laid off, I know of not a single person who got a job based on the stimulus package. Many that got laid off are still laid off.
The banking crisis, while he gets only to work with what was left, I don't think that there was enough reform or protections. The dismantling of the Glass–Steagall Act under Clinton and not reinstated after the 2007 collapse, is politics as usual.
I'm not sure what to make of the foreign policy but it seems to be more than Mr. Clinton had, though I'm not sure how effective Mrs. Clinton is.
