High Expectations for Obama

I read an article recently titled Poll finds great expectations for Obama. This article gave opinions from different citizens throughout the United States and others around the world. The article portrayed President elected Obama as the most popular incoming President in the last twenty five years with a favorability rating of 75%. This was ahead of Ronald Reagan who in 1980 had a 67 percent favorability rating. Some goals of Barack Obama mentioned were to improve the United States economy, improve race relations, focus on global warming, and find alternative fuel sources. In my opinion I appreciate the perspective of this article and I am glad that people are trying to support our future President. A lot of people are hopeful that Barack Obama will make changes for the better in the next four years. I am also hopeful that he will make changes and that these changes will help improve and streghten our nation. After the election more people are starting to open up to Obama and support him because they truely want change. Since the election, Obama's favorability has increased by 12%. I believe this is directly related to people wanting to unite as a nation and get out of our current crisis regardless of their political views. In conclusion after reading the article I feel the nation is starting to over-come the barriers that divide us as a nation and we are starting to unite and defeat issues that affect us all.
