Inside Obama's Presidency

How does a person know they are ready to be the president of the United States?

How can a president make decisions knowing so much of the United States does not agree with them?

Why did Obama even think that the banks of wall street would show up to his speech

Did Obama take negative attacks such as "you lie" as power behind his bill for health reform? Only democrats voted on it, which means a large part of Americans do not agree but yet presidents still have to make controversial decisions yikes. 

Why did John Boehner not follow through with his deal with Obama?

2nd semester

Now that I am more confident with my knowledge of the government I find the class much more enjoyable.  I am actually very interested in how the government works and instead of just cramming in all the information before a test I actually learn and know what I am talking about.  I am able to have conversations with my dad now on topics much more complex than before.  After studying congress I realized how interesting the government was and I want to know more.  I enjoy learning how everything works, even though I do terribly on every reading quiz, but now that I actually know what is going on I am much more driven to do well.
