Here's some view and opinions for the younger set about our new President:bolian:
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA'S INTIAL PEFORMANCE AS PRESIDENT..SO FAR?
Signs of change
We've never had a president come inot office with more stacked against him that Obama, and I think he's done a good job, so far. Regardless of a person's opinion on Obama's politics, no one can deny that he has been proactive in his efforts to slove some of America's biggest problems. Obama has worked to stop the torture of terrorism suspects and launched diplomatic discussions with Iraq and it's neighbors. He's encourging the production of fuel-efficent cars to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is a busy life that our new president leads, but with our support, the question of whether he will move our country forward through positive change will be answered YES WE CAN

A dilligent effort President Obama has been forthcoming and dilligent and he seems to be striving to fulfill his campaign promises. He has had difficulties with some of his Cabinet appointments but that is to be expected. Obama is doing his best, which is characteristic of the first few months of any commander in chief. I seems that some people think Obama is infallible. He cannot single handedly cure our economic woes, nor can he unite two political parties, with different agendas. America must make great strides if Democrats and Republicans are to unite for the betterment of the country. We should be realistic regarding Obama's powers to effect change AND REFORM THE NATION!

A capable leader
In his first few days in office, Obama has proven to be precisely what he seemed during his campaign, a capable, calm and organized leader. He quietly and swiftly acted to reverse the most outrageous abuses of the Bush administration, while he moved toward redressing America's economic problems. The president has done a remarkable job over the past few weeks!

Impressive firsts
So far Obama has impressed me. His stimulus bill is a major legislation for a new president to puch through Congress and he has reversed many of the previous administrations tired policies. He has taken Washington on headfirst and hit the ground running, despite extreme partisan opposition and several problematic picks. I am eager to see what Obama does next and once the economy starts to recover, our new president will begin engineering the change that he promised during his campaign!
