It's been almost 3 years since I did my other portrait of Barack Obama. No one could have lived up to the euphoric hopes at the end of that election campaign but considering that he was faced immediately with an economic crisis I think he has done quite well. He's shown an ability to compromise and get things done even if he couldn't implement all of his platform The question is will America "stay the course" and give him a chance to continue and achieve his goals. Quite frankly up till now the potential Republican candidates make me cringe
