Day 22: What word would you use to describe Barack Obama?

— By Michelle Austein Brooks, 11 February 2009

A survey by the Pew Research Center for People & the Press asked Americans one simple question: what word would you use to describe Barack Obama?

What a difference a few months make! In September 2008, the top word was “inexperienced.” Today, the top word is “intelligent.”

First 100 Days wants to know, what word would you use to describe Barack Obama?

io credo che il presidente Obama potrebbe, se necessario infrangere il più rigido protocollo pur di “fare la cosa più giusta”. Credo che questo sia lo spirito che lo anima. lorella
