ADVICE | IN THE NEWS

Hail to the Chief! What do you think President Obama should do next?

 
 
Barack Obama has officially been sworn in once again as the president of the United States. During his first term, President Obama received a lot of praise and criticism for his actions over the last four years, from passing the new healthcare legislation to leading a national conversation about gun control. In his inaugural address, he discussed equality, and spoke at length about how we all have to come together to make positive change. No matter where you stand politically, we're pretty sure you can get behind that!
 
Did you know...
President Obama has been sworn in twice...twice? On Sunday, he took the official oath in private, because the law states that the president must be sworn in on or before Jan. 20. Today was just a public ceremony. But back in 2009, he had to be sworn in again following the big public celebration because Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts fumbled a few words in the oath. Oops!
 
Today, President Obama placed his hands on two bibles. One was owned by Abraham Lincoln, and the other, by Martin Luther King, Jr.
 
Tonight, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will attend two big balls to celebrate. But way back when, George Washington dined all by himself after he was sworn in.


For the next four years, though, what would you like to see President Obama focus on? Do you have any advice for him? Tell us in the comments, cuties!

Well ladies, on a positive note, at least his term is halfway over.

I think the president should focus on job growth because alot of people are out of jobs and lately I have heard a lot about industries being shut down due to lack of money. I also think he should focus on gun control. We cannot blame the law that lets us have self defense beacause in this society, we really do need it! Its like blaming and older sibling for protecting themselves against the younger sibling. What are we supposed to do? Stand there and let ourselves get hurt! I may not necisarily like Obama, but he is the president and honor what he does.

As long as he doesn't go after our guns I'm fine with him. Getting rid of guns doesn't solve the problem. The people are the problem.

[We] should not blame a gun itself for any crime or any acts of violence, any more than we can blame a pen for misspelling a word.” - Senator Wallace F. Bennett It's true, right? Meghan D.

Gun control doesn't do much, they outlawed drugs but people still use them. I agree that they should focus on school security not gun control. That's not the issue, Obama is avoiding the REAL issue.
