Obama in 2010

Barack Obama has had some hard times during his presidency already.It is hard for any president though to take office when there is a war already happening or the country in debt.Some people are not happy with some of the decisions he has made, but others think he has done very well.Obama has had his ups and downs.With this year ending his approval is at 47% and disapproval 46%.His approval is up 2 and disapproval is down 2.

There are many good things that Obama has done while in office this year:
•Take troops out of Iraq and end the war.
•The Health care reform even though some people may not agree with this being a good thing.
•The Patent Protection and Affordable Care Act.
•Signs the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) with the Russian President.
•Signs the Wall Street Reform bill.This helps people by protecting them from unfair practices in loans and credit cards.
•Signs Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010 which helps create money for small businesses and helps them stay in business.
•Extends the Bush tax cuts.
•Signs the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act into a law.
•Signs the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act.
•Signs the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act.

We do not know what will happen in Obama's coming years of presidency.In 2011 though, he hopes to change and make some things better for Americans.Some of his goals for 2011 are to clear mandates for government supported institutions,consumer protection,stabilize the countrys' financial problems,support single and multifamily housing,and help housing affordability.Hopefully Obama will go through with his goals for 2011.
