奥巴马--期中成绩

Obama&American current situations
Barack Hussein Obama is the 44th president of the United States and the first black president in American history.Besides,he also wins re-election in 2012.There are some expectations in his inaugural in 2013.
Finance&Employment:
Obama hopes that with their insistence on hard work and personal responsibility,which are constants in their character,they can meet the challenge and build a modern economy system.
Plenty of dark clouds loom over the U.S. job market,particularly the potential double-punch of tax increases and spending cuts known as the fiscal cliff.
The damage of super storm Sandy will have to be repaired, meaning jobs in construction and retail. Businesses, meanwhile, which have held off investing and hiring because of uncertainty over the fiscal outlook, might finally open their wallets. That means more jobs, too.
Of course, the recovery of the job market has been, and probably will remain, incremental. Job growth needs to be much stronger to actually make a big dent in unemployment, which remains high at 7.9%, though down from 10% three years ago.
Analysts at the credit ratings agency now see about a 15 percent chance that political brinkmanship will push the U.S. economy —the world's largest —over the fiscal cliff.Besides,Worries about the nation's debt and deficits likely will keep a lid on government spending and investments, economists say, but any jumps in, say, infrastructure spending would create jobs. At the least, government will be less of a drag.
Consumers are feeling better. Consumer confidence is at the highest level in four years, thanks to improvements in jobs, housing and the stock market. In the wake of the recession, Americans whittled down their debts, avoided borrowing and delayed purchases. That means the stage could be set for
stronger consumer demand, which could nudge businesses that have put off hiring to add more workers.
Medical Insurance:
Insurers are now banned from dropping sick and costly customers after discovering
technical mistakes on applications and required to offer coverage to children under 26 on
their parents’ policies.
The landmark bill signed by Mr. Obama will provide coverage to an estimated 30
million people who currently lack it. Its passage assures Mr. Obama a place in history as the American president who succeeded at revamping the nation's health care system. The measure will require most Americans to have health insurance coverage; would
add 16 million people to the medicaid
rolls; and would subsidize private coverage for low- and middle-income people. It will regulate private insurers more closely, banning practices such as denial of care for pre-existing conditions.
Immigrant:
The multi-original of immigration determined the diversity of America culture. Different age, different race and different nation of immigrants in the United States left a mark on the process of American culture development. Besides,there exist the coexistence of fusion and conflict.There were diversities in heterogenous culture. The general characteristics reserved from fusion of nations and culture, which constituted the core of American culture. On the contrary, differences led to the contradictions between races and cultural conflict. Because America was made up of racial immigrants, the ethnicity, not political or social, became the main standard to distinguish American. Racial culture and traditional diversities became the main driving force to develop. But it was easy to produce prejudice, deepen racial discrimination, and caused ethical division. Racial discrimination is the social problems. The disparaged call to some nations was the best evidence.
