1.Obama went to all the traditional services at the National Catherdal and then went into doing all his first duties as the commander and chief.

2.Yesterday President Obama was addressing the problems of the economy and health care. Some things that i think he will begin to mention will be the issues with the war and just how to resume all that.

3.From watching the video, the status of the presidents cabinet is that nominees are already confirmed.

4.He told the Israeli-Palestinian people that America will always be there to support their right to defend themselves.

5. What people expect of Obama is for him to calm all the tension from the middle east and for him to "take as a matter of priority his Middle East policies." In my opinion I think he is going to find it difficult to fix the situation because he is faraway and can't always control what goes on over there.

6. If i had to advise Obama I wouldnt know what to tell him because there's so many ways to could confront this. Some suggestions would violent.

7. What spurred the mass migration in taking place in China was the Chinese New Year. they say it was up to an estimated 188 million people were there to take place in the migration.

8. the challenges they face inthe journey are selling out fast.

9. they do not plan on returning because of the economic problem they face with their jobs.

10. The global economic crisis has impacted eveyone because it can prevent them from being able to support themselves and their families

1.President Barack Obama, attending the traditional prayer service at the National Cathedral, and then quickly onto his first duties as commander in chief.

2.the economy and health care were the problems addressed. Obama's first priority will probably be to bring home our troops.

3.Timothy Geithner is the Treasury nominee and Hillary Clinton as secretary of state.

4.President Obama said "If somebody was sending rockets into my house where my two daughters sleep at night, I'm going to do everything in my power to stop that. And I would expect Israelis to do the same thing."

5.they expect campaign promises to be made good, that daughters be able to sleep safely. i feel like if he stick to his policies that he can come through with his promises.

6.Id suggest for him to do less of just campaigning and more of taking charge and following through with the promiss. NO change will come unless action is taken.

7.migrant workers desperately trying to get home for Chinese New Year. 188 million people are a part of it.

8.If they can't get there by train, the next best option is by bus. But it's an even longer journey, a journey home to families in rural towns some haven't seen for years. An untold number of migrant workers who benefited from boom times in the big cities are carrying their lives on their backs. Now, they can't find jobs because of the global economic crisis, and they may be leaving the cities for the last time.

9.they can't find jobs because of the global economic crisis, and they may be leaving the cities for the last time.

10.yes, immagrants such as Hatians, Cubans, ect. can be targeted first only because of the the lack of language (if not born in the U.S.).
