Barack Obama: Obama

Immigration Reform Dept: Obama is approaching his inauguration on Monday with an aggressiveness that is surprising his opponents as well as some of his supporters, and his actions are cutting to the core of American political life, according to The Star. According to Obama s aides, his upcoming domestic agenda will also include sweeping initiatives regarding immigration reform and climate change and barack Obama s upcoming second term is beginning to look as if it will be a high-wire act. Emboldened by the wide margin of his reelection victory in November, and seemingly concerned about what his legacy might be, Obama is reminding Americans that, even in the depths of apparent political deadlock with Congress, a focused and determined U.S. president can still make history. In domestic policy, the president s dramatic gun control proposals announced on Wednesday only months before the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy are the most ambitious in a generation. They come a month after the horrendous school killings in Newtown, Conn., and involve 23 presidential executive actions that are already in effect.
