Barack Obama – My Observations
As Barack Obama’s Presidency nears an end, it has become increasingly important for me to make my own assessments of his job performance and accomplishments.
My desire is to address some of the issues and stumbling blocks that have been placed in his way from the beginning and throughout his Presidency.
I must say that what I’ve observed from the outset of his Presidency is President Obama’s ability to carefully orchestrate the way he desired to be perceived by his supporters and non-supporters by trying hard to be a President for all people.
