President-elect Barack Obama will officially be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States on Tuesday.
After Inauguration Day, Obama no doubt has a lot of challenges he must face.
In fact, some are saying he’s facing some of the greatest challenges of any incoming president.
Obama has the chance to really make a difference in the country.
It’s a fresh start and a chance to start a new chapter in American history.
No doubt about it, the economy is priority number one for Obama.
People are losing money and jobs and it is vital for this new administration to take this problem head on.
This is not a problem that will go away and it certainly won’t do so overnight.
The new president has a lot of other things on his plate though.
He has to deal with combat in two countries, Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as the Middle East conflict between Israel and Hamas. He also has Osama bin Laden on the mind.
If that’s not enough, the new president has to worry about the rising cost of health care and college, a failing infrastructure, fluctuating gas prices and the environment.
Obama will not be able to meet all the tasks set before him and it is important to realize that.
What is important is that we give him the opportunity to solve these problems. Patience is a requirement.
Obama has a full plate and might not be able to finish his dinner.
We have a couple of years until the next election. Let’s not make a rush to judgment.
We hope you enjoy the inauguration on Tuesday because at 11 a.m. local time, “elect” is dropped from the title and we will now have President Obama.
