Obama administration in the new year

I hope that the Obama administration will earn the faith of the american public by following through with more of their plans. I think they are going in the right direction, but the majority of americans have yet to see the effects.  The economic turn down is certainly not over but it does seem to be slowly getting better. Obama has approved a surge of 60,000 soldiers to Iraq.  Although he was criticized for taking too long to make his decision, he took the time to create a plan that he thinks is the best for the Iraq and Afganistan situations.
