Developments resulting from the new government of the U.S.

After the presidential election in the United States in November 2008 there was a big movement going through the population. The new President Barack Obama is not only the first black president in the USA, which means a lot in the context of the history, especially to the black population, but he is also the one who brings hope, trust and optimism back to the country where nothing is impossible. After the Bush era, which not only caused two wars and very problematic and strained relationships to other countries, many people associate his era directly with the financial-and economic crisis.Because of that the country needs a new strong head of state.
Barack Obama’s situation is definitely not an easy one and he promised a lot to his country and its inhabitants, but he already made the first steps towards a better future. By 2011 he wants to pull out all troops from Iraq to finally end the war thousands of people had to suffer from.
On the other hand he wants to send more troops to Afghanistan to win the very hard but also important war against the Taliban.
But the new president doesn’t only want to improve the foreign policy.
He has already signed a paper which promises a financial aid packet to save the American banks from ruin.
Another important step was to decide to close the very controversial prison Guantanamo. Many people in the U.S. but also in other countries didn’t accept Guantanamo or rather they always wanted to abolish it because people were not treated as humans or according to human rights.
All in all, I think the new President gives the population hope, gives them strength in hard times and makes them believe that the government will support them.

Best comment I've read so far! Great job, Kai! There is a place for you to use 'therefore' that is why, as a consequence
