Obama at the Turning Point of American Politics

Barack Obama’s presidency will be a turning point in America politics. The impact depends on his results. If his presidency is successful, then it will empower the idealist message and the need to include all of the people of America. It might mean that the people are more important than the elected officials.


On the other hand, an unsuccessful presidency could bring out a much more cynical response. We would be forever reminded about voting for a person without much experience. It would show that even the presidency could be bought with enough ($700 million!) money. It would remind us again that great orators don’t necessarily make great leaders.

This could happen in the next four years. Obama will be in charge of the nation, and in a large degree in charge of his legacy.
