What has Obama done so far as president?

	What has Obama done so far as president? In my U.S. history class we were going over that today. My teacher was saying things like "He has done nothing but waste billions of dollars" and what not. Is that true? What else has he done? Asked By: Orch Dork - 10/8/2009

Wow, you people are so negative it makes me want to cry. He hasn't even been president for a year. He inherited two wars, one that was completely abandoned for years, he inherited a lot of debt due to those two wars. He also has inherited a completely split country. We are the United States of America, not the democratic and republican states of America. I stand by what are first president George Washington said, that we shouldn't have political parties. Look what has happened to us, we all completely hate each other. and that is really sad. And, this is what he did in his first week. * Froze the salaries for top White House staff members. This is a largely symbolic act, but might be an important one. * Set a deadline for the closing of Guantanimo Bay. Some of his supporters would say this is a great thing because they believe it operates as something from the Dark Ages. Others believe this characterization to not be true, and that no plan will be put place to determine what to do with the prisoners. Time will tell. * Fast-tracked the process to apply new fuel standards to 2011 car models AND initiated steps to allow California to set its own standards for auto emissions that are stricter than that of the Federal government. Again, this is a measure that some of his supporters hail as a grand step forward, while his detractors(or flamers) point out that it could provide an additional severe drag on the economy, especially in car manufacturing areas. * Signed a detailed executive order to ban torture and inhumane treatment of prisoners. * Asked the military leadership to engage in additional planning necessary to execute a responsible military drawdown from Iraq. * Released the interrogation memos without consulting the Bush staff and/or Bush about it. And they were only partially released some of the information in the memos were not made public. * Signed an executive order that restored a 30-day timeframe for former presidents to review records before they are released. It also eliminated the right for the vice president or family members of former presidents to do the reviews. * Signed an executive order that requires that appointees sign forms saying that they were not hired because of political affiliations or contributions. This is far from an unbeatable measure, but is an important early step towards cleaning up governmental hiring policies. It is easier to prove someone lied when their signature is right next to the statement in question. * Signed an order banning gifts from lobbyists and banning anyone from working in an agency they had lobbied in previous years. Promptly made the order toothless by immediately granting a waiver to a former defense lobbyist. * Lifted a ban on giving federal money to international groups that perform abortions or provide abortion information. * Granted his first TV interview as president to Al-Arabiya, a channel described as a "voice of moderation" to the Middle East. His supporters call this a very smart move to help angered nations and groups feel a bit less cast aside, and let them know that they need not resort to violence to be made a part of the world discussion. Detractors point out that this is the type of thing Neville Chamberlain would have done, though a TV interview and "the Munch Agreement" are leagues apart. Answered By: squeckyhorsegirl - 10/9/2009

... and best of all, he's managed to tick off and expose the vast majority of responders to your question. For an answer that doesn't merely look for an opportunity to expouse your political views (to a child, for God's sake), and that intelligently answers your question, see this link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/29/obamas-first-100-days-10_n_192603.html President Obama has presided over passing the "largest" economic stimulus bill in American history, ordered the closing of Guantanamo Bay military detention facility and abolishing "enhanced interrogation techniques", set a fixed timetable for withdrawing U.S. combat forces from Iraq, ordering 21,000 additional troops to Afghanistan and enlisting, with modest new assistance, European allies in a new multi-layered strategy there and in Pakistan, "Return(ed) science to its rightful place" by lifting the Bush restrictions on federally funded embryonic stem cell research, signed laws to expand children's health insurance (financed by a 61-cent per pack increase in the federal cigarette tax the adviser did not tout), signed a law meant to improve the ability of women who allege pay discrimination to sue their employer, diminished the role of lobbyists in the White House (can't say the same for Congress, though), "Forge(ed) a meaningful statement from the United Nations" criticizing North Korea's launch of a ballistic missile, lifted travel and remittance restrictions for Cuban Americans who seek to travel more frequently to the island and send more US currency to their immediate family, engaged world leaders in Europe, Turkey, Latin American and the Caribbean with "strength and humility.", BTW, your teacher is an a-hole. From an academic perspective, "history" is not studied until 10 or more years after the event(s). Funny how revisionists don't want to evaluate the Bush years, but your indoctrinator wants to assess a work in progress.

I think your teacher should be sent to the office and spanked real hard... Just kidding, she should be fired, then sent to the office then spanked.. President Obama is our US President. He has only been our President 8 and half short months. He's got one hell of a mess to clean up after the "BUSH" administration, and a few of the Presidents before Bush. I think we all should give Obama a chance to do ALL he said he will do, he can't do it all over night or in 8 and half short months. It's going to take more that 4 years, more than 8 years, maybe even a decade or more to get all this mess cleaned up. We can only hope Obama can get the people in high gear enough to help him. I am sure you've all heard by now!! THIS.... Congratulations to President Obama! What an outstanding man. Here at last is a man who understands that nothing, nothing will be gained by more wars, more fighting, more arms. Here is a man who is willing to say "I'll talk with anyone, we can always try and reach understanding." Here is a man who refuses to walk the old deadly traditional way, but move in a new direction, respectful of people and lives. Has he brought peace yet? No. But if we were all to follow his ways, we could have a chance. As Obama himself said many times, he cannot do it alone. We must all harness our strengths and together work towards peace the way he does. Give it a try. Our lives and our children's lives are worth it. Does Obama deserve the Nobel prize? YES, YES, And YES.

Obama shares a dream with current World Dictators, the Taliban and Al Qaeda for a Post American World. Obama said “America is the greatest country in the world, and I hope you will join me in changing that." Obama said in his book 'Audacity of Hope', “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction what better place for the Muslins to control our country, than in the office of the President of USA.” The American Problems Obama wants to fix are the World’s Problems with America. Obamas believes wrecking the American economy will fix the World’s Problems with America. Never in the history of the United States has a president and his party worked so actively against the interests of his own people. Obama is a pain in the a s s for America and an aid and comfort to America's enemies. A person can’t truly love America and Obama too, for to truly love one is to truly hate the other.

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either.
