What will be the first thing Barack Obama will do?

Answer 1

This question was first asked in 2008 and as it turned out, among the first things President Obama did was to deal with the worsening financial crisis and try to turn things around. Not everyone agreed with the decisions he made, but the economy did slowly begin to recover. Still, when he ran for re-election in 2012, there were still a number of problem areas with the economy, and the president had to find ways to address them; this was complicated by constant gridlock in congress, where there was a refusal to compromise on anything, making it difficult for Mr. Obama to move his legislative priorities forward.
