From the Paper:

"We all know that our President is Barack Obama, but many people do not know what he faces everyday. Its common sense that he is in a political role and therefore has power. He has gained the title of President by showing society years of honesty, integrity, and an ethical form of leadership. All this combined, helped him earn one of the most powerful positions. Not everyone is for Barrack Obama, but one thing everyone can agree on is that the United States is facing hard times right now. It is said that being ethical during a time when everything seems good is very easy. One is not tested until times of uneasy. (Howard 3) Obama is faced with a very tough situation right now. Citizens of the United States expect him to stay ethical, and the only way he can do this is by his true characteristics of honesty and integrity."
