The change will be stopped before it actually comes
by Barbora Misakova


Do you know what I hate about politics the most? It is that certainty of politicians that their way of ruling the country is the best one and the only one which could pull the country out of the recession and hard post-crisis times. And the same could be said also about common people and their demands. When Barack Obama has become the first African American President of the United States everyone expected that a big change will come. Everyone expected the change will come immediately and with no troubles. It is just one year and few months what Obama has assumed office and Americans are frustrated and disappointed. But what did they expect that would happen? President (of a! ny country, of any skin color etc.) is still a human. It is the head of the country he must represent in the best way and of course he must protect it as well. But he is not a magician who could simply use his magic wand to change everything we are unsatisfied with and any other politician will be able to do that neither. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs admitted that Republicans could take control of the US House of Representatives at the November 2 midterm elections. If Republicans make big gains in November and wipe out Democratic majorities in the Senate and the House, President Obama will have a tougher time pushing his political agenda through Congress. That’s why he tries to convince impatient Americans that his economic policies are working and that improvements will take time. But as it seems it is not enough. Obama’s overall approval rating among independents decreased from 56 percent to 46.
