President Barack Obama And His Democratic Party Have Their Work Cut OutThe inauguration of Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States was over a week ago, and already the honeymoon is over for this ambitious, inspiring, new executive of the world's most powerful nation. Already setting pens to executive orders, the new president is quickly making the adjustment from senate to the Oval Office. The coming weeks and months will be critical to Americans, as they struggle to find leadership in a country that is swirling in an economic storm, and bleeding from the wounds of international conflict. While the skeptics and the critics look on with doubt, and the world watches to see how the enigmatic Obama handles the issues left behind by the previous administration, the Obama campaign continues on, even after the new president has taken the oath of office. Political pundits agree that it is too early to determine how he will satisfy both the liberal blogosphere and more moderate and conservative Democrats, but already Obama carries over a lot of momentum with his two million active volunteers, and strong contributor base.
The U.S. House has already taken one step towards economic recovery (hopefully), thanks mostly to the Democratic vote, passing the $819 billion dollar stimulus package, and with the measure now on its way to the Senate, we'll see if the Republicans will set an example of bipartisan cooperation to help stimulate the flailing economy.
The Democrats and Barack Obama have a great challenge over the next four years, although "hitting the ground running" will certainly help President Obama leap the first hurdles, and lead the charge into a stronger economy, free from the current pit of recession.
