The United States of America recently underwent an enormous and monumental election in 2008. The year of 2009 brought in a new President, one ready to inspire change and hope for America. This is President Barack Obama, America's first half-black President. The Obama Administration is a sign of a new outlook on life, and will hopefully point America in a positive direction. Obama has come into office at a difficult time in the U.S., as we are currently in the midst of a war and have been plagued with challenges in our economy. Despite any dilemmas America may be experiencing, I have confidence in the Obama Administration to secure our financial situations, move closer to ending the war on terrorism, and unite the country with our patriotism and pride in the United States.

To begin, one must have an optimistic and positive attitude when regarding any new President or administration. Open minds and acceptance are the first, crucial steps in working together in harmony as a country. Thus, I have many hopes for the Obama Administration, and have complete faith in the completion of them. As many, if not all of us, are aware, America is in a low point in terms of the economy. It is my desire that Obama helps to make America a more affordable place to live for people and families. Businesses are suffering, and in turn, so are people and the economy, all creating a snowball effect and an everlasting cycle. I hope Obama can stimulate the economy again, so that people are not in such difficult financial situations.

Another critical concern for the Obama administration is the War in Iraq. We are losing Americans each day, and I truly hope we are able to pull out of the war soon. Achieving peace would be the ultimate goal, and I hope Obama puts a great deal of effort and thought into our foreign relations issues. I hope we inspire equality and peace in these other nations, as well as reaching this state in our homeland as well.

A last hope of mine for the Obama Administration is a focus on education in America. Education and learning is the driving force behind all of our success and ideas, and Americans should continue to put emphasis on it. These children of the U.S. are the future leaders, and they need to be well equipped to handle the challenges they may face. The drop out rate in high school has been increasing over the years, so it is my wish that Obama makes sure schools get sufficient funding and attention. Education should come first in the youth of America and I hope Obama can expand on the learning of the U.S.

Obama as a new President also brings up numerous concerns for America. As I have previously mentioned, the financial state of the economy is a huge concern for most people of America. If we can get a handle on our fiscal situation, I believe Americans will feel much more secure and confident in our country. This also brings up another concern in America, remaining a united front in times of difficulties. As a country, we need to stay strong and focused if we want to succeed and prosper. I hope Obama can bring us together united by a common goal of making America a better place.

If I were to give Obama advice, it would be to stay an open and honest President. Americans are the type of people who crave knowledge, and do not enjoy things to be hidden from them. Working together successfully requires communication and a trusting relationship. Thus, I recommend Obama keeps everyone in America well informed and on the same page. He needs to stick closely to the democratic policy of letting everyone have a say and be involved in decisions. Americans are extremely proud of our freedoms and rights, so it would be wise for Obama to always rely on these when making decisions.

Finally, Obama and his administration need to encourage patriotism and national pride in America. People should feel as though they have an undying level of support and back-up in their country. The feeling of being a part of something great is indescribable; you feel as if together, you can accomplish anything. This should be the attitude and feelings of Americans in a united country. This way, no matter what challenges we may come across, we will be able to overcome them together, and do so with pride.

Ultimately, the Obama Administration will hopefully reignite the flame in America, both in our economic and foreign affairs, as well as in bonds as a country. It is my desire that the economy can flourish once more, and families can be more financially stable. I hope the war in Iraq will come closer to an end, and peace can be achieved and inspired in others. It is essential for Americans to unite and stand together, despite difficulties we may encounter. Clearly, I have high hopes and aspirations for the Obama administration, and I believe America will have a brighter future under his leadership and guidance.

Change has come to America. Barack Obama was elected President of the United States this past November, the first African American to do so in American history. The 2008 Presidential Election flooded our culture with memorable political speeches and debates, and more importantly, it addressed many serious issues that our country is facing today.

I turned eighteen years old on September 28th, 2008, which made me eligible to vote in the election. I view voting as the most important form of political participation available to American citizens. It is the way in which any person can make his or her opinions known. One vote may not decide an election, but it can influence the policies our political leaders pursue and make a difference in communities across the nation. As such I took my civic duty very seriously. I read the newspaper every morning, researched the candidates online, watched all of the speeches, and tuned in to all of the debates. I focused on the issues and tried to get an understanding of where each candidate stood, especially on the struggling economy, the War in Iraq, healthcare, education, and the environment. On Election Day in November, I drove down to Town Hall in Stoneham with my mother, and, for the very first time, cast my vote.

I did not choose to vote for Barack Obama, and therefore I do have many concerns for his new administration. First and foremost, I am concerned that he his unqualified to hold the position of President. He was only a junior senator before becoming Commander in Chief, and this leads me to question whether or not he has enough political experience to do the job well under any circumstances, never mind the severe economic conditions under which the United States is barely surviving. On top of this, Obama has been involved in very little foreign policy, an aspect of our government that is vital to national security in light of the War in Iraq and the War on Terror.

The most important time in a presidency is the first 100 days. Obama was inaugurated in January 2009 and since then he has attempted to solve the economic crisis facing America. He was influential in passing an $800 billion dollar stimulus package which provided money in tax breaks to citizens as well as money to the states to be used for transportation, healthcare, and medical purposes. This stimulus package hopes to create jobs to help alleviate the surging unemployment rate (currently at 8.1%) and to restore people's faith in the economy so that they will begin to spend and invest again. I have hopes that this stimulus package will bring the United States out of this crisis, before my generation is faced with a second Great Depression.
One of my greatest hopes for the Obama administration comes from my experiences with participating in the 2008 election. He inspired people and jolted them from the apathetic lives they had been living for so many years. He made people pay attention to politics again. The voter turnout in the last election was 61-63%, the highest rate since the 1960s. Young people and minorities really came to have a sense of political efficacy. People began to care for one another again. I hope that his administration continues to inspire such involvement. I hope that the citizens of America begin to watch the news again, to protest when the[y] feel wronged, to volunteer in their communities, to vote in their elections. Essentially, I hope that citizens continue to voice their opinions and take back control of the government that is supposed to be for them and by them.

If I were a senior advisor to President Obama, I would tell him to surround himself with intelligent and experienced people who have the best interests of the United States and democracy in their hearts. These people should come from all different backgrounds and be of diverse political ideologies. Listening to the range of options and viewpoints is the most productive and comprehensive manner in which to achieve solutions that truly work. This is best demonstrated by Abraham Lincoln's presidency and how he won the Civil War, and by the way in which John F. Kennedy dealt with the Cuban Missile Crisis. Obama should realize that he cannot do everything by himself and heed the advise, support, and help of others. I would also tell president Obama to say what he means, and to mean what he says. The American people have been deceived too many times, and the President needs to deliver with his promise for change on that front above all others. He must be honest about the actions of his administration and the state of our Union, and he must dedicate his whole self to preservation of the United States, its citizens.

The new Obama administration has [a] quite a task before them. The country is in economic turmoil, due to mistakes of its own citizens that caused dreadful long-term effects. It has been placed upon the shoulders of the new president, Barack Obama, and his fellow administrators, to handle this crisis and undo the wrong that has been done. Obama has already begun taking steps toward his plan for recovery, but unfortunately, not all of the citizens of the country are in agreement with this plan. The circumstances are tricky and the road that is before the United States citizens is not an easy one, and this is probably my greatest concern. It is challenging times like these that truly test the human spirit. Not only is Barack Obama the first African American president, which many people objected to, but he is also leading the nation at one of the most difficult times in our history. There are significant issues, however, that I feel President Obama must address in order for the country to be able to "pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off."

First and foremost, I hope that President Obama will be able to unite the citizens of the United States of America, and enable everyone to realize that we are all in this terrible situation together. In order for anything to improve, we must ban together as a country and potentially make some sacrifices, so that our nation can once again reach its status as a world power. We must be motivated and informed in order to understand what needs to be done. For the credit markets to improve, we must have confidence in our banks once again, so that the credit markets can start working efficiently and people can take out loans for homes or college tuitions. Our current economic position is causing the unemployment rate to rise higher than ever before. Many jobs have been outsourced to foreign nations where the labor is cheaper. The only way to return these jobs to the United States is to improve our educational systems to compete with nations like China and India. This idea stems from motivated students who are willing to learn, and push themselves to go on to receive college degrees, and from motivated teachers who can give these students the best possible learning environment.

I also hope that President Obama not only restores these ideals in American citizens, but people all across the globe. Right now, our country is in an on-going war with Iraq that is leading to the death of many of our courageous soldiers and also a greater national debt. Personally, I did not support the war in the first place, and I hope that Obama can fulfill his campaign promise and end the conflict as soon as possible. By congregating peacefully with Iraqi leaders, I truly believe that a peaceful solution could come about. This [not] would not only improve our economic position, but it would also be less money that the country would have to spend.

If I was a senior advisor to President Obama, my most urgent piece of advice for him would be to restore the job market in the United States. We must ensure that Americans have stable bank accounts in order to encourage them to spend money and stimulate the economy. The idea of pumping money into businesses that are failing will not always work because of the irresponsibility of their management. President Obama must first make sure that businesses are being run correctly, before the idea of salvaging them with government funds comes about. It is plans like these that cause the cooperation and patience of the American people to be tested, but these qualities must prevail over hostility and anger towards the government. Taxes are going to have to be raised for the time being. Also, at times, the government is going to have to use their power to mend what has been broken, an idea that is largely rejected by many very conservative Americans. If, however, the country can come together and make some sacrifices now, our situation as a whole can be much improved.

The current economic crisis is a puzzling situation, for which no one seems to have a definitive resolution as of yet. The fact remains that jobs must be returned the United States, and that our educational systems must be improved. I hope that Barack Obama will be able to accomplish these feats in order to guarantee a brighter future for our great nation.

A change, indeed, has come upon America since Election Day and Inauguration Day. For the first time in our nation's history, our commander-in-chief is a very dedicated man of color. This alone is evidence of the progress that America has made throughout the years. Our nation has developed and grown in numerous ways. It has overcome the Civil War, abolished slavery, and eradicated laws, such as Plessy vs. Ferguson, that further promote racism. Our nation has also suffered the consequences of the terrorist acts on September 11, 2001. When citizens chose President Obama to lead them through this most trying period of American history, they yearned for a change. Citizens wished for a president who would help escape this economic downfall and restore the American economy that was once well-reputed and admired throughout the world. When President Obama spoke in his address to Congress on February 24, 2009, he stressed three of his main concerns: Economy, healthcare, and education. Though it is true that change is greatly desired in these three aspects of our lives, change is a necessity in all aspects of our lives. As the Obama administration continues to make these changes and re-establish the America we once used to know, I would like to ask that this be done by following the guidelines that would be in the best interest of our country today.

As the executive branch and Congress work together to establish and carry out new laws, they must keep in mind the state of our nation today. America is known and valued for having a very socially, ethnically, economically, and politically integrated society. This is obvious, as American have put aside religious and ethnic differences and have chosen an African-American senator of Illinois as our president today. It is important that the current and future generations of our nation are composed of very accepting and knowledgeable individuals of different religions and ethnic backgrounds. It is for this reason that America is positively known as the "melting pot" of cultures. Therefore, when the Obama administration makes laws and enforces them, it is important that it keeps in mind the current development and assimilation experienced by this great nation.

It is important that the administration is able to blend in with changing times. However, there are some very positive ideals from the past that we should return to. For example, when George Washington was declared first president of the United States of America, he was cautious in everything he did; he wished to set the best precedent for future presidents and associates of the executive branch. Washington worked with great honesty and integrity, and was very impartial in the people he chose to represent his cabinet. It is a disappointment for the American people to have seen so much corruption and dishonesty as time progressed and the responsibilities and powers of the President increased. Consequently, I would like to advise the Obama administration to work solely for the people and to disregard self-interests. At such a high position, the executive branch should serve to benefit the people of our nation, and not to benefit themselves or those with whom they have created strong ties with. America deserves an executive cabinet that is unbiased and does not possess partiality when proposing and deciding on crucial issues. Furthermore, the Obama administration should steer away from political party bias. The populace of the United States of America has become so interest in political parties and their differences, that it has forgotten what is more important. Instead of focusing on these differences, both main parties should try to come together to better the economy, as it is the nation's main concern today. When together, both parties, Democrat and Republican, have something great to offer. It would be ideal for the administration to put the main focus on the economy and do what is right for the country.

It is a feeling of displeasure and dissatisfaction to see that many citizens are frustrated with the country and have lost all hope. It is up to the Obama administration to renovate the pride, hope, and desires that the American people once had. It is a hard task, but it is not impossible. While keeping the people content and satisfied at home, Obama must also work on improving foreign relations with other nations to positively demonstrate to the rest of the world the true capacity and capability of this great nation. It is true that the Obama administration is under a lot of pressure for bringing about change that has been repeatedly promised to citizens, but it is also true that this is America. This is the country that has always been able to uphold its pride and prowess. With the proper plans and ideology, the Obama administration will undoubtedly be able to reverse the current turmoil in our nation and bring forth the change that all citizens await.

As the winds of economic crisis blow across all aspects of life in the capitalist world and the Obama administration comes to power in America, policy questions abound - how will we ensure that America remains competitive on the world stage? How will we avert future economic crises and ensure a productive future for both American citizens and the world's as a whole? Do we want to maintain an economic foreign policy that acts like a Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, on a worldwide scale? (Is the inherent hypocrisy justified?) To President Obama, here are my thoughts:
First and foremost, engendering change as you do creates violent opposition. Do not neglect personal security-it is an unfortunate necessity, as the deaths of prior agents of hope and change have shown, Lincoln's, Gandhi's, and Kennedy's included. You cannot steer America to recovery and prosperity if you are dead-security is a fundamental prerequisite for enacting change that many optimistic leaders have failed to respect.

On to the policy issues:
The first question we as Americans must answer is that of the role we wish America to play in the emerging modern world. Critics have sharply censured America's aspirations to be the "world police", with constant eyesores in the media like the wars in Kosovo, Nicaragua, and lately and most significantly, Iraq. Perhaps it would be better to pursue a policy of noninterventionism, some say, and while maintaining ties to the world, leave it to develop as it is. Others, of course, take a more Amero-centric stance, suggesting that we should use any means, including military ones, to make the world an America-dominated one, with nations serving as economic colonies or allies and cleaving to our GDP. I, however, would urge Obama to neither withdraw into near-isolationism nor take a stance similar to the much-ridiculed Bush administration's efforts to promote American power at the expense of all else. The world that is emerging in the beginning of the third millennium is increasingly interdependent and economically decentralized, and we must acknowledge that not only would it be irresponsible to cast America as the world's economic overlord; it would be downright impossible to maintain a grasp on such dominance, given the direction the balance of power is headed.

However, we must also take into account that economic welfare is not a zero-sum game; as individual countries take a more productive role in the world markets, the world's welfare as a whole increases. To foster this upward trend, it behooves America to act to help those countries which are in need of aid to develop their economies. This is not done by sending food or medical supplies - the proverb about teaching a man to fish comes to mind. To develop economically, countries must have a pro-business approach, on top of a stable system of law and order and a well-maintained infrastructure. If America can help provide such groundwork to developing countries, it is our duty to do so. However, it is not in our interests to force policy on foreign nations that do not desire our help, as was the situation in Iraq. The upheavals that follow in the country in question, as well as the costs in materials and human life, are simply not worth the violent overturn. America must not be a crusader, living by the cross and the sword - on the world stage, our influence must be as careful as it is compassionate.

Once America's role in the world as a whole is roughly established, we must turn our sights to determine what may be done domestically to repair the economic crisis and ensure America's prosperity. After all, to influence the world in a positive manner, America itself must be in good health and good standing, and this requires that we look to domestic policy as a matter of core importance. On top of that, the world's welfare is increasingly tied to America's, as the mortgage crisis has demonstrated by starting in America but taking a toll on every free-trading nation in the world. The question here is: How should the Obama administration formulate domestic policy to maintain America's well-being and our position as a global "gentle giant"?

Before we look to more growth-oriented measures, we must turn to the roots of the current financial crisis. Recovery will be an organic process, hopefully hurried along by the already extant stimulus packages. Prevention, however, is another matter. Since the financial crisis was caused by investors' short-sighted trading strategies, inherent in human psychology, the answer to that must be regulation to prevent the kind of excessive long-run risktaking that leads to economic pollution similar to that observed recently. Economic regulation is to be avoided in a liberal capitalist society unless absolutely necessary to prevent market failure, but that is indeed the case here. However, measures to prevent the kind of investment risks that build up an unstable house of economic cards only address a symptom of a larger problem that plagues America on all fronts.

The problem is that America, in shifting to a "services economy", has created a process where there is a tendency to create fictitious value, instead of the real thing. Talented American youth grow up wanting to be investment bankers and lawyers, rather than scientists and engineers. Therein lies the problem - there are two ways to create wealth in a capitalist framework or elsewhere. One may create useful goods and services, or one may facilitate others' creation of useful goods and services by allocating capital (as bankers do) and ensuring the legal and economic frameworks are functioning (as lawyers do). Essentially, America is suffering from an unhealthy focus on manipulating others' creation of wealth instead of actually doing something directly productive, an arrangement that is clearly defective, since if nobody is actually making goods and services, all the lawyers and bankers in the world won't help.

Thus, President Obama must overturn this tendency both to ensure lasting economic recovery and America's continued position of privilege in the world (countries such as China and India graduate far greater proportions of scientists and engineers than America does). Entrepreneurship must be encouraged, of course, to continue America's growth, since much of the rapid advancement in the capitalist world comes from small companies. As important as entrepreneurship is education, but this must occupy a greater focus of the Obama administration, since here is where America falls flat. Since the majority of technological and economic improvement comes most directly from the efforts of the most imaginative and intelligent portion of the population, these talented Americans are those we must focus on to make a significant difference. The current American educational system is more than adequate for the majority of the population, but since it is the most intelligent minority that may enact the most positive change if allowed to excel, the educational system must allow for this by challenging the most talented children as well as the rest. To foster future economic growth, President Obama must vastly increase the scope and depth of gifted and talented education, and he must ensure it adequately addresses math and science, and on instilling a productive, rather than entitled, frame of mind. With this kind of approach, in twenty years we may see the youngest generation improving everyone's standard living with technological innovations and imaginative approaches to all facets of life, instead of imaginative accounting in investment banks. Only when we make sure that all of America's citizens, including those with the most potential, have a truly American mindset of imagination and hard work, can we know that our future is secure.

The night that Barack Obama was elected president was a joyful night for me and millions of other Americans, a turning point of historic proportions. While I agree with most of Obama's political views, on subjects from healthcare to environmental policy to foreign relations, what truly gave me confidence in him and the desire to see him elected was that he promised America a new style of politics, of responsibility, bipartisanship, and justice after years of polarization and secrecy. I cannot expect to agree with every single policy decision he makes, but I know that he will be guided in his decisions by principles that I can respect. This is especially important now, in a time when our country is plagued by seemingly insurmountable problems coming from every direction. The economy is failing; human activities are altering the Earth's climate; entitlement programs are on the verge of going bankrupt; and healthcare and education are in drastic need of reform. At the same time, the United States is involved in two foreign wars and has yet to capture Osama bin Laden. It may be impossible for one president to tackle all these problems, as Obama has said he will.

In order to solve even some of them, it will require hard work, careful diplomacy, and clever solutions.
It is clear, however, that until the economic situation looks up, America will be paralyzed, unable to effectively solve most of the other problem that face her. This is not to say that Obama must wait for the economy to return to full health before beginning to work on other issues, for that would waste valuable time. Still, handling the immediate crisis must come first. Obama's stimulus package is a good step towards extricating the country from recession, and, if all goes well, it may be able to support the economy enough that banks and businesses can get back up on their feet and begin functioning again. Even then, it will take some time for the economy to revive itself, but the stimulus should free the government's hands to begin working more closely on other issues.

The economy may be the most immediate crisis facing America, but there are several others waiting in the wings to take its place. Climate change, for example, could soon begin to have dire effects on the world. Luckily, it is possible to create programs and regulations that can help solve multiple problems at once, like stimulating the economy and reducing carbon emissions by funding research on alternative fuel sources. The Obama administration will need to search for these sorts of creative solutions to many problems, for it has become increasingly clear that government resources are not infinite, and though it is possible, and sometimes necessary, for the government to spend large amounts of money at once (as in the case of the economic stimulus package), future generations will bear the consequences of uncontrolled spending. Obama has promised to cut all unnecessary spending from the budget and only fund those programs that have been shown to be effective, a policy that I hope will help forestall a federal fiscal crisis. Although some doubt this claim simply because he is a Democrat, after the enormous deficits of the previous, Republican, administration, I am more willing to trust Obama and the Democrats with the federal government's budget.

Already, I am heartened by Obama's actions since becoming president. Although, having been in office for only a few months, he has yet to tackle many of the major problems facing our country, the decisions he has made so far reflect a spirit very different from that of the previous administration. He has ordered the closing of the Guantanamo Bay detention center, where inmates were tortured, held indefinitely without trial, and otherwise denied basic human rights. He has demanded transparency in government, and vastly reduced the powers of lobbyists in Washington. Just a few days ago, with bipartisan support, he ended the ban on federal funding for stem cell research, demonstrating a respect for science that had been sorely lacking in the federal government until now. All these actions demonstrate that Obama is, indeed, following through on his campaign promises of a fair, humane government that will be held accountable for its actions. While I do not have the knowledge to advise Obama on minute details of economic or foreign policy, if I were to advise him I would stress this: that he must continue to demonstrate the respect for humanity, sense of justice, and commitment to re-empowering America that he has shown thus far.

Our young president Barack Obama truly has many of our nation's burdens cast upon him at this time. My hopes and concerns lie in these very predicaments: how will the Obama administration face modern issues such as our failing economy, and abortion?
As an upcoming college freshman, watching our economy fall in a downward spiraling motion creates a wide range of emotions. Each time a friend is laid-off, or a shop closes down, there is a certain fear that cuts deep into me. The options that once seemed so possible and so attainable suddenly seem worlds away. It appears that the despair that is falling upon this nation is only the tip of the iceberg. My economic concern with the Obama administration is that we must use the money we have wisely, and with care, but also realize that this is only one solution to a two part puzzle.

One of the reasons our economy slipped is because consumers began to buy goods with money they did not have. This is not a problem that can be corrected by paper; this issue is a cultural issue. If one wants to really help the economy, teach people to be conservative with their money. The American mentality has been that if you want something, you can have it, no work necessary. Now, this mentality has gone full circle and we are the victims of our own greed. But, if Americans had only been content living in a house with one less bedroom, or bathroom, and taken only what they thought they could pay off within reason, America may not have ever had to deal with this issue. My hope is that Obama will recognize that money requires responsibility and that he will take that responsibility with wisdom to correct the economic path that America is on

My second concern with the Obama administration regards abortion. While I understand that many believe this to be under a constitutional right, I cannot agree. It does not seem logical that when a murderer kills a pregnant woman, he is charged with killing the mother, along with her unborn baby, but, when the mother chooses to take the life of that unborn baby, all is well, and it is simply her choice. How is it justified that that small fetus child can be raised in the mother's womb until the woman realizes that life with a child will be too difficult, and not what she planned? Then, it is okay to take the life of her unborn baby, so long as we do not call it murdering a baby, but rather aborting a fetus. The abortion option only supports the lazy American lifestyle. When life gets hard, or gives you what you did not want, there is now a way to get out of it. Allowing women to choose abortion does not force them to deal with the consequences of their actions; safe sex is a far more responsible option, with much less hassle anyways.

These two issues are two of my greatest concerns for this nation because they support a mentality that hinders responsible behavior. Solutions to both require planning ahead and decreasing spontaneous decisions that can have a life altering affect. My hope is that Obama and the Obama administration will do all in their power to keep responsibility in the hands of all American citizens. By doing so, consequences for actions in the present will be able to be dealt with in the present, rather than in the future, after they have grown exponentially.

The year 2008 marked a monumental moment for the United States as the first African American was elected President. Hopes and concerns for the future of our nation have been placed upon the new Obama administration, mainly in light of the enormous challenges for today's American economy. If I was appointed as a senior advisor to President Obama, I would advise the President to focus on three key issues at hand: the American economy, the war on terror, and the global warming crisis.

Today's American economy needs to be stabilized in order to help the United States recover from its recent troubles. As senior advisor to President Obama, I would advise him to start by first trying to repair the massive amounts of layoffs occurring in businesses and corporations throughout the nation. The current unemployment rate is dramatically increasing, making the day-to-day lifestyles of millions of Americans extremely difficult. Also, with the cost of college rising, many American teenagers are being forced to put their "dream" school acceptance letter back into their envelopes because their families are not able to afford it. Also the dilemmas over heathcare have become highly controversial in light of our present economy. President Obama and his administration need to repair the current status of the economy in order to successfully rebuild our nation.

Since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, America has been a changed nation. Thousands of troops were issued over to the Middle East. Eight years later, our nation still has thousands of troops stationed in countries throughout the Middle East. Growing animosity toward the war has not been soothed with excessive numbers of soldiers being killed. I would advise President Obama to bring these troops home.

The global warming crisis is becoming an alarming issue for not only Americas, but also the entire world. The green house gasses being admitted into our atmosphere are causing strikingly harmful effects. I would advise President Obama to work with other nations across the globe to devise a strategy to combat this crisis.

In summary, the American society is depending upon the new Obama administration to help salvage and repair our struggling nation. Recent adversaries to the American economy need to be stabilized. Also, the war on terror needs to have a definite plan devised and in the meantime to have the troops stationed in the Middle East to be brought home. Finally, the global warming crisis needs to be combated through the help of other nations across the world. As a senior advisor to President Obama, I have concerns about our current nation but I am hopeful that the Obama administration will work together to rebuild our nation once again.
