What's ahead for the Obama Administration

I think that at the start of this year President Obama has a lot of work ahead of him to try and regain the confidence of the American public. Obama had a not so productive first year in office, although he did manage to win the Nobel Peace Prize, and many people who couldn't wait to get Obama into office are now unhappy with his performance. I don't really think we are headed in the right direction, because most of the problems that have been facing the U.S are seeming to go away. The economy doesn't seem to be mending, and the Obama administration has spent a lot of money that will be hard to repay. Also the problem of unemployment in the U.S has not gotten any better. Obama is taking troops out of Iraq which seems to be appreciated by Americans, however by sending more troops into Afghanistan he is kind of cancelling out the good news with the bad. It would be great to see improvement in the Obama administration, but it seems like there is a long way to go before we get there.
