Is Obama doing anything at all?

With all that is happening in the United States this year, the question will be, "Can Obama handle all of this?"

President Obama, according to those polled in a new survey, has been busier than they are comfortable with.

Over 50% of the people of the united states question Obama and his plans for the future. Others say he hasn't overdone it yet.

In Obamas first weeks in office, he hasn't completely focused his full and utter attention only on the economy. The economy is one of the most important issues, and the people of America believe he may not do enough to regain the economy.

On Tuesday, Obama was interviewed by several people and was asked over and over the same question and answered, "What I say is that the challenges we face are too large to ignore."

"To kick these problems down the road for another four years or another eight years would be to continue the same irresponsibility that led us to this point. That's not why I ran for this office. I didn't come here to pass on our problems to the next president or the next generation. I came here to solve them," Obama said.

In a poll, about 60% of people feel that the president Obamas acts and trying are just about right for the United States. Around 35% percent say Obama's promises to the US are too liberal. And about 5% say they are not liberal enough

On the issues, about 60% say they approve of how the president is handling the economy about 60% like how Obama's dealing with health care, about 60% more, approve of how he's handling the energy policies and 65 percent back him when it comes to educational reform.

Of those polled. about 70% percent like how Obama is dealing with foreign affairs. 67% agreeing with him on Afghanistan and 61% approving of how he's handling terrorism.

"Obama tends to get better numbers for his handling of international issues than on domestic problems," Holland says. "That's a typical pattern for many presidents, who can handle foreign policy concerns without always having to push something through Congress."
