Obama Administration Leadership

The Obama administration has been forced to deal with a number of challenges. Some of those have been inherited challenges while others have been manufactured or produced by the government itself. From passinghealth care reform to finishing two different international wars, the government has been busy in the policy realm. 

Likewise, the government has faced domestic political challenges in the form of opposition from the Republican Party. Given the nature of politics in 2014, getting things done from a legislative standpoint has never been more difficult. Some believe thatthe administration has shown significant leadership experience in dealing withthe challenges. Those individuals acknowledge President Obama’s ability to command an audience and use political pressure to extract the result that he is seeking. Others criticize the president for weak leadership, laying at his feet blame for a host of the country’s problems, including the economy and eroding civil liberties.
