Vote on 2010's Most Critical Issue
Wednesday, January 20, 2010
Exactly one year ago today, Barack Obama took office as President of the United States -- and what a year it's been. From the economic crisis and the battle over health care, to the global challenge of climate change and the threat of terrorism at home and abroad, 2009 was a challenging one for the country, and most Americans would agree the nation is facing some of our biggest and most complex challenges in decades.
Today on our homepage we're featuring analysis of the President's first year from
Fox News
,
PBS News Hour
and
Agence France-Presse
. We're also asking you to weigh in on which issue should be the top priority for the country in 2010, and what you think should be done about it.
With our new Google Moderator tool, you can submit your ideas in both video and text on
CitizenTube
and vote on your favorites submitted by others. We'll promote the most popular submissions on YouTube in the lead-up to the President's annual State of the Union address, which we'll be streaming live on YouTube next Wednesday night, January 27, 2010, at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
