Senior Mike Garber, the GW College Democrats communications director, expresses satisfaction with the administration’s first year, and that college students efforts to get Obama elected were a worthwhile investment.

The GW College Democrats put a lot of effort into electing President Barack Obama, and our work has paid off. We believed in Barack Obama because we thought he’d be able to enact change on a variety of issues that affect our lives – from health care to the environment, as well as issues that impact our image in the world, including Iraq and Guatánamo Bay. President Obama has made great strides in the direction of this change, despite enormous challenges.
