I, along with many of my classmates, believe that this was a job well done for Obama due to his strong points throughout.
One thing that I noticed was that Obama seemed to work so hard to sell barely anything at all. Obama campaigned for the presidency as the candidate who promised to change Washington, yet there he was, straining to convince his sometimes-skeptical audience just how modest his executive actions are. He re-affirmed Americans' right to buy guns, and even said his wife, Michelle Obama, turned to him while the two drove through Iowa during the 2008 campaign and said if she lived in a farm house with a sheriff's office far away, "'I'd want to have a shotgun or a rifle to make sure I was protected and my family was protected.'"
