President Barack Obama should be in the Black History Hall of Fame not only because he is the first Black president of the United States, but for his commitment to the US government. He began withdrawing soldiers from Iraq, signed an economic stimulus legislation, gave expenses to families of fallen soldiers, and improved healthcare reform AKA “Obamacare”. He is not only the first black president, but also one of the greatest presidents.
