2009: a tumultuous year for US politics

2009 is coming to a close, and today, we’re going to take a look back at this monumental year in US politics. It all began with the inauguration of the first black president who had an ambitious agenda.  President Obama’s domestic plan has moved forward, although not at the pace he may have hoped. A tumultuous economy, an attempt at health care reform, two wars, and an attempted terrorist attack are likely to define 2009, as are the super Democratic majority and bitter partisan politics.
