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!

If Obama makes guns illegal, the criminals aren't going to obey the law. Seriously. We need guns as self defense. England outlawed guns, and now they are the number 1 most violet. They have so much violence with knives, and illegal guns. In Switzerland, 1 in every 2 citizens have guns and it is the lowest crime and violence rate. Just think about it. Common sense people!

I agree with Nataliebrroo.if we take away guns they will just break the law anyway. I think people are thinking about themseleves and not about how some people depend on guns to protect themselves.They need to work on the security of schools. Where I live you can just walk on to the campus and no one will stop to ask what you are there for.Also where I live schools have gone in to lock down a lot in the past few months after the shooting in Newtown because cops are chasing people to close to the schools and they don't want to take chances.That's just my opinion.

I would really like to see Obama focus on the issues of the economy and job growth. My advice to him would simply be to put aside the politics and focus on doing what is best for the country.
