When President Obama was elected I was very pleased with our countries decision. I was not old enough to vote at the time because my birthday was two weeks after Election Day but I fallowed Obama before he even announced he would run. I made a research presentation on a possible candidate and I choose Obama because he looked interesting. After reading about him I began to follow the election more closely. Obama even came to my hometown of Corpus Christi but I was in Austin at the time visiting ACC. But when I walked to my hotel I heard Obama talking near the capital. I listened to the whole speech and felt honored to hear the future president speak.
I can honestly say I have the utmost respect for our President but lately I feel as though the public has been left in the dark by our government and the president should be more open with what our government is doing to help solve our nations many problems.
The media isn’t kind to Obama and I’m sure every time he makes time for a press conference he is weary of how it will turn out for his image and his reelection capabilities but I personally feel that if he doesn’t start including the American public in what is happening with the middle east, the economy and other US interests then he won’t get the chance to be president for another four years.
I think Obama is a really smart guy but he made a really big mistake by keeping a lot of people that worked for the Bush administration. I believe that if Obama was more open in talking to younger people he would once again be able to run our country
