Obama's first year in office

Andrew Lee
Hurt-his reputation
"He hasn't really done much of anything. He even sent something like 30,000 more troops which is pretty much the opposite of what he said he was going to do. He talks a lot but I haven't seen any changes so yeah, hurt."
---------------------------------------------
Brittany Tello
Hurt-people's faith in government and health care
"I'm going to say hurt because he stated he would make changes that don't look that they are gonna happen anytime soon. Matter a fact, it doesn't even seem like he is attempting to do anything he said he was going to do. What he has done in terms of health care really sucks."
---------------------------------------------
Mathew Jackson
Hurt-economy
"The economy is still hurting. He did say it would get worse before it gets better, but it doesn't seem like he's been helping any."
---------------------------------------------
Dylin Hararah
Heal-Democrats
"For starters, he is trying hard to push reform more to the left. Going from Bush to anyone else is a heal in itself. Oh and he is asking Israel to stop expanding settlements in Israel, which is good."
---------------------------------------------
Josh Watters
Hurt-United States
"The state of the country has been getting worse and worse and it doesn't look like 'change' helped at all. It's gotten especially worse in deficits, the war and poor income."
---------------------------------------------
Rebecca DelPuerto
Heals-United States in the long run
"He is making changes as quickly as he can. I trust he'll come through for us. I do however wish he spent more time on education though."
---------------------------------------------
Zamir Iqbal
Hurt-education
"He hasn't put any effort in making change but he's a real big talker, I'll give him that. And education is still in a slump. He talks a lot about the importance of education but does nothing about it."
---------------------------------------------
Liliana Diaz
Neither hurt or heal
"Neither 'cause he hasn't done anything. He hasn't really done anything extraordinary but at the same time he hasn't totally messed up."
