There are only two days to go before we
know who would be the next President of the United States of America. In the blue
corner, we got the secretive yet experienced Hillary Clinton. In the red
corner, we got the famous yet loose-lipped Donald Trump.
In short, whoever the winner is, he/she
will be a step down from the current guy. I know there are some people in
America who just hate current President Barack Obama but from the outside
looking in; I think he did a pretty good job as President. It is showing in his
opinion polls as he is so popular right now, he is criss-crossing the country campaigning
on behalf of Clinton.
Now I would agree he would probably not go
down as a great President, but considering the mess he inherited from George W.
Bush, he did a pretty good job. Under his tenure, America’s standing in the
world has improved; the US economy began their slow recovery; and many terrorist
leaders, including Osman bin Laden, died during his two terms as President.
Did he make mistakes? Of course he did, but
what’s new? No one is perfect and every US President in history made mistakes.
On the whole however, I think most people would agree Barack Obama was a better
than average President. He didn’t set the world on fire, and he didn’t usher in
the next golden age of America. He did his job.
In the end, that’s all you can ask for.
