Outlook on Obama in 2010

I think that Obama has laid down much of the foundation for a successful 2010. While he hasn't actually accomplished anything big, he has brought about ideas that could be beneficial to the country, like the healthcare bill. I hope that the Obama will do something that can push our country past this economic downturn. Once the economy is in a more stable state, I think Obama will have more opportunities to put some of his new ideas to use. It will be interesting to see what happens with Afghanistan and Iraq in 2010. Obama has set timelines for when troops will be removed form these areas, but who knows if these timelines will be followed since it was a surprise that Obama increased the number of troops in Afghanistan. I think for Obama to be the most successful in 2010, he needs to focus on the issues in our country that are effecting Americans on a day to day basis.
