What Does Obama Worry About?

If I were a president, I would have a full schedule. I couldn’t have a lot of privacy. I couldn’t do anything or go anywhere that I like. My life would become like The Truman Show because people could watch anything I do and judge me and my family. I wouldn’t be very happy if I were a president because I would need to worry about a lot of things such as my country’s well done and my family. I wouldn’t want to be at my wit's end. This is a picture of the new president of the United States, Barack Obama, and he looks worried about a lot of things.

When I saw this picture, first, I saw his movement. He folds his dark brown hands together. He wants to lay down his head on his hands and make himself more comfortable. His hands look strong so they can protect him. He wears a black jacket, a white dress shirt, and a gray polka-dotted tie, so we can know that he was in an important meeting. That meeting is about the United States’ economy, and there are a lot of members of Congress arguing against him. They want him to live up to his promise to improve the United States’ economy by decreasing oil prices and taxes. That is why he looks so worried.

Second, I saw his facial expression. He has black-brown eyes, black eyebrows, a little triangular nose, and bistre lips. From his black-brown eyes, I can see that he worries about something such as how to answer the questions of Congress. He wonders how he can develop the United States’ economy without people arguing against him. He wants to come up with ideas to live up to his promise to the people. His black eyebrows show that he is not relaxed. He also has some wrinkles on his face, stretching from his nose to his mouth. I can tell that he feels anxious. He tries to figure out how to fulfill his promises about making the United States’s foreign policy become better such as the relationship between Palestine and Israel. That is why his face is so wrinkly.

Last, I noticed his head posture. He has short black hair on his small pointed head. He tilts his head to his right side almost lying down on his folded hands. It looks like he is tired. He might think about a lot of things at this time. They might be about his country, or his family. He is also worried about his family because now that he is a president, people use a magnifying glass to watch them. He doesn’t want his children to have a lot of stress because they are little. He wants his daughters to have a happy childhood and also have good behaviors so that people won’t point at them. He wants to be a good leader of his country, but he also wants to be a good father of his children that is why he is at his wit's end.

I know that a president needs to manage a country, and it is very hard. When I saw Obama in the picture, he looks so tired. I also feel that he looks so innocent. I don't think he caused any of the United States’ problems. He wonders what he can do about those problems. I can see from his movement, facial expression, and posture that he looks very weary. He seems worried about the economy, foreign policy, and his family. So, being a president is not an easy thing.
