![个[-] FifthSurprise 1011 points 1 hour ago (13091298) What was the most difficult decision that you had to make during this term? permalink save source hide child comments 个[+] OR adenroan. [5] 728 points 37 minutes ago (10111283) The decision to surge our forces in afghanistan. Any time you send our brave men and women into battle, you know that not everyone will come home safely, and that necessarily weighs heavily on you. The decision did help us blunt the taliban's momentum, and is allowing us to transition to afghan lead - so we will have recovered that surge at the end of this month, and will end the war at the end of 2014. But knowing of the heroes that have fallen is something you never forget. permalink save parent source [-] PoisoCaine C 11 point 33 minutes ago (21) Not to suck up or anything, but the ability to make these kinds of decisions are why I voted for you over McCain in 2008. It came down to one thing for me, and that was I trusted you to think very long and very hard about every decision that put ANY life at risk, and I decided I trusted your character with that over senator McCain. No disrespect. permalink save parent source 个H shamanrafiki 3 points 32 minutes ago (310) Beautifully put permalink save parent source](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/387/233/c66.jpg "c66.jpg")
![个[-] hmlee 2055 points 56 minutes ago (26251739) I am recent law school graduate. Despite graduating from a top school, I find myself unemployed with a large student loan debt burden. While I'm sure my immediate prospects will improve in time, it's difficult to be optimistic about the future knowing that my ability to live a productive life to have a fulfilling career, to buy a house, to someday raise a familyis hampered by my debt and the bleak economic outlook for young people. I know that I'm not alone in feeling this way. Many of us are demoralized. Your 2008 campaign was successful in large part due to the efforts of younger demographics. We worked for you, we campaigned for you, and we turned out in record numbers to vote for you. What can I say to encourage those in similar situations as I am to show up again in November? What hope can you offer us for your second term? ermalink save source hide child comments 个t-1 toESNE -[5] 13 points 6 minutes ago (3421) I understand how tough it is out there for recent grads. You're right - your long term prospects are great, but that :doesn't help in the short term. Obviou their careers. Because of the health care bill, you can stay on your parent's plan until you're twenty six. Because of our student loan bill, we are lowering the debt burdens that young people have to carry. But the key for your future, : and all our futures, is an economy that is growing and creating solid middle class jobs and that's why the choice in this election is so important. The other party has two ideas for growth - more taxs cuts for the wealthy (paid for by raising tax burdens on the middle class and gutting investments like education) and getting rid of regulations we've put in place to control the excesses on wall street and help consumers. These ideas have been tried, they didnt work, and will make the economy worse. I want to keep promoting advanced manufacturing that will bring jobs back to America, promote all-American energy sources (including wind and solar), keep investing in education and make college more affordable, rebuild our infrastructure, invest in science, and reduce our deficit in a balanced way with prudent spending cuts and higher taxes on folks making more than $250,000/year. I don't promise that this will solve all our immediate economic challenges, but my plans will lay the foundation for long term growth for your generation, and for generations to follow. So don't be discouraged - we didn't get into this fix overnight, and we won't get out overnight, but we are making progress and with your help will make more](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/387/229/acb.jpg "acb.jpg")

![-1 ormirian1973 points 40 minutes ago (26941721) Are you considering increasing funds to the space program? Edit: grammar permalink save hide child comments source ↑ H PE [S] 827 points 21 minutes ago (1412 585) Making sure we stay at the forefront of space exploration is a big priority for my administration. The passing of Neil Armstrong this week is a reminder of the inspiration and wonder that our space program has provided in the past; the curiosity probe on mars is a reminder of what remains to be discovered. The key is to make sure that we invest in cutting edge research that can take us to the next level so even as we continue work with the international space station, we are focused on a potential mission to a asteroid as a prelude to a manned Mars flight. permalink save parent source](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/387/226/4c8.png "4c8.png")

We will fight hard to make sure that the internet remains the open forum for everybody - from those who are expressing an idea to those to want to start a business.
