A Man With Everything to Lose Starting Out.

President Barack Obama was the face of hope to many people in the United States.  He was able to get many different races and age groups out to vote that normally had low turnout rates and as a result he won the Presidency with a landslide election and at the top of his game... However as we have seen in history, things change within a matter of months in the political realm.
President Obama has been unable to keep many of his promises because there have been several large items that have require his immediate attention including the Oil Spill down south, foreign relations abroad going sour, domestic battles of immigration, religion, and free speech.  Although these are not the only reason why his promises have yet to be seen as kept, they have contributed significantly.  It is sad that this man who was a rock star Senator and won with a huge approval rating has fallen so quickly in the polls of his people.  His most recent approval ratings are around 41% which is an all time low for his presidency.  There have been many dishonest items that have risen over the past year and a half and the people are not impressed.  His actions have directly resulted in his political party losing support and with this upcoming election holding so much for both parties, they really cannot afford this loss.  We will know in the next couple months whether people are truly upset enough to show it in their vote or not but it is safe to say that this upcoming election will be one of the most intriguing mid-term elections in recent history.
