For a while I have wanted to post about our Nation's president, Barrack Obama. During his campaign he was made out to be the hero and it seemed he would turn our country in the right direction. Now less than a year from when he took office, I read the approval rating polls of Barrack Obama, and I noticed a decline in our President's approval.
Was this decline because he has made mistakes in office, or simply because he just isnt the savior everyone had hoped he would be?
Although I do not know every detail of his presidency so far, I think it is because of the latter option. The Nation is still close to where it was when George Bush was president and the same problems still persist. The economy is still in a recession, and unemployment rates are high. Obama recently sent more troops to Afghanistan, and his great plans inside our country are not working. Although not much time has passed, it is becoming clear our president is not the hero we thought him to be.

Personally I think that people set their expectations too high. The problems our country face are so great that there certainly could not be an immediate change. However, Obama's main slogan was "Change" and the country has yet to see change so far. So, I think that a mix between American expectations and Obama's actions result in his low approval rating.
