This article is about Barack Obama stepping up and finishing his presidential duties. It is also about Barack Obama appealing to republicans.

This relates to the executive branch, because it talks about presidential duties. In this case, Obama is trying to step up and improve the economy. Also, he is trying to inform everyone that they have to be aware of what is going on.President Obama is trying to appeal to all political parties and is trying to pass a health care bill. In order to pass a bill, he needs support. Some people said in this article, that he is finally stepping up, but I believe that he has always been stepping up. He can't fix everything right away. BUSH and former presidents(let me reiterate BUSH) has messed up this country enough and it will need a lot of fixing up for improvement. Obama is doing his best and is handling problems one step at a time.
