First day on the job
January 20, 2009Today (20. jan 2009) is Barack Obama´s first day at his new job, as the 44th president of the United States of America. Today he became the first afro american president in US history. Finally the Bush administration´s time is over, and its time for change.
But its not going to be an easy start for Obama.The US is: in a recession, is at war in Iraq and Afghanistan, has a huge national debt (10,643,778,131,968.93 US dollars, thats 34,841.04 US dollars per US citizen), has been hit hard in the global financial crisis, has a reduced world wide reputation because of things like Guantanamo Bay detention camp, and has a fast growing unemployment. In other words he has enough on his plate.
Martin Luther King had a dream, today this dream came true. Obama, show us what you can do. Together we can get over through these bad times, yes we can.
Good luck Obama, I have faith in you.
