Dear Viewpoint:

I commend President Obama on the excellent job he is doing as president of the United States of America for his first year in office he took office with two wars involved the United States and the worst economic condition since the depression in the 1930s. In his first he has helped the American citizen on Wall Street by loaning them money and he has help the citizens on main street by the stimulus money. Various businesses and individual citizens have benefited from the president effort to keep the economy going for the welfare of the nation. He is continuing in his effort to get health care for all American people. He continues to reach across the isle to work with Republicans even though they have not supported him he should continue to do so. The Democrats and the Republicans must work together they must be compromise. So we pray and hope that the Obama administration will continue the good work and hopefully get more accomplished in 2010.
