Current Event 6: Months into Obama's presidency, promise of 'change' is a slow go

This article talks about all of Obama's promises and how he hasn't made much progress on them. Some issues that Obama is up against today are the war in Iraq, immigration reform, new financial market regulations and a game-changing energy bill. Obama has many issues to address, and he has made some progress on the health care reform and the economy. The Pulitzer Prize-winning website Politifact.com tracks more than 500 Obama campaign promises, with majority of them rated 'no action'.

I think some people are being a little too hard on Obama and expecting too much. He's already made some progress on two big issues, he can't be reforming everything at once. I'm hoping that he will step up and continue to make progress during his term. There are a lot of issues these days in America, it's hard for one President to handle all of them. On the other hand though, I don't think Obama should've made so many promises if he's going to have trouble fulfilling all of them. He shouldn't get the American people's hopes up and then let them down when he doesn't do what he said he was going to do.
