president obama

Illinois Senator Barack Obama became the 44th President of the United States and the first African American President on January 20th, 2009 after his charismatic style, eloquent public speeches, and message of change helped him win the November 2008 election.

Barack Obama and running mate Joe Biden also benefited from a strong grass roots political organization and public backlash against some of the perceived mistakes of the previous Bush administration.

President Obama has inherited wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, an economic slump and a variety of simmering domestic issues. In February of 2009, President Obama signed into law a $787 billion dollar stimulus package targeted at kick-starting the economy. Early in his presidency he has sought to overturn some of George W Bush's more controversial decisions, more specifically related to the ban on stem cell research and the existence of the Guantanamo Bay prison facility.

You'll find both Obama's supporters and detractors blogging about our 44th president at sites like Bartcop and Radioactive Liberty.
