How would you rate President Obama's performance for his first year in office?
I would give President Obama an F. He tripled the deficit and is attempting to spend more. He continues to pettily blame all the ills in America on someone else.
Even if that it true, it is time to take responsibility. Imagine any environment in which a new employee blames all problems on the last employee. It is childish and unhelpful.
During his year in office, we have had multiple terrorist attacks, high unemployment, and massive deficits. I can't think of anything he has done that is good. Instead of spending another dime, the president should lower taxes on the rich and big businesses.
They are the ones who give the rest of us jobs or buy our products. The more money they have, the more they will spend and hire. Lowering taxes improves the economy and leads to higher tax receipts by the government.
The answer largely depends on the statistics you pick. With President Barack Obama beginning his second term, there are plenty of numbers suggesting that the country is on more solid footing than it was when he first took office on Jan. 20, 2009. The Dow Jones Industrial average is up 5,550 points since then.
The economy is growing (instead of contracting). Consumer confidence has nearly doubled (though it remains below where it was before the Great Recession). And a larger percentage of Americans believe the country is headed in the right direction (but a majority still think it’s on the wrong track).
On the other hand, there’s data indicating that the nation isn’t better off than it was four years ago – and that the Great Recession continues to take a toll on families. Median household income (adjusted for inflation) is lower than it was in 2009. And more Americans live below the poverty level than they did four years ago.
And some numbers are exactly the same. The current unemployment rate is at 7.8%, which is where it was in Jan. 2009 (though it’s down from a high of 10% in 9.097). And right now, there are roughly 49 million Americans without health insurance, which is identical to where it was in 2009.
-- The number of U.S. troops in Iraq has dwindled from nearly 140,000 to just 200, while the presence in Afghanistan has increased from 34,000 to 66,000. -- The federal public debt has increased from $10.6 trillion in Jan. 2009 to $16.4 trillion now. -- The number of Democrats serving in the U.S. House, U.S. Senate, and in governorships across the country has declined.
Below is a look at Obama’s presidency – so far – by the numbers. The “then” figure is the best-available figure for when Obama was taking office in 2009. And the “now” is the most recent figure.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
