NEW YORK, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) -- When 47-year-old U.S. Senator Barack Obama first ran for president in 2008, "change" was his campaign slogan and theme Air Jordan 1 For Sale Clearance , which was widely considered as the main reason behind his landslide victory.

Now with the once ambitious president entering his final year in office as a lame duck and the nation on the threshold of another presidential election, what America needs most is still "change."

POLITICS

When the battle for 2016 presidential nomination started in early 2015, many expected to see a clash between the two so-called "presidential families" -- the Bushes and the Clintons, and few would have believed that someone like Donald Trump, a political establishment outsider, would stand a chance.

The 69-year-old New York real-estate mogul Air Jordan For Sale Clearance , whose blunt and offensive remarks have provoked the ire of quite a few social and racial groups, seemed to have broken every rule a conventional presidential candidate should observe. Nevertheless, he has maintained a solid lead against all his Republican rivals including former Florida governor Jeb Bush in every major voters poll, and survived multiple heated debates despite often becoming a common target.

Political observers believe that behind the "Trump phenomenon" lies the American people's desire for some real change in Washington politics. In the past seven years, instead of seeing the promised "Change we can believe in," they have seen endless political impasse between the White House and Congress Jordan 12 For Sale Clearance , as well as Republicans and Democrats in Congress, which not only stalled all badly-needed reforms from immigration and gun control to tax and education, but also resulted in the 2013 sequestration and government shutdown.

As found in a national telephone survey released by Rasmussen Reports in early December, just 9 percent of likely U.S. voters think Congress is doing a good or excellent job, while 59 percent think just the opposite.

It might be too early to predict how far Trump could actually go, but the message from the American voters to all presidential candidates including the next president is quite clear -- they are already fed up with politicians who are always "politically correct Jordan 13 For Sale Clearance ," and they want someone who has the courage, resolve and wisdom to make the government do the right things.

In Canada, the United States' northern neighbor, change has already taken place. In the late October general election, the Liberal Party led by Justin Trudeau won a decisive victory to end nearly a decade of Conservative rule.

While media reports and online talks showed much interest in Trudeau's family background -- being the son of late prime minister Pierre Trudeau -- and even his good looks, the Liberals actually benefited a lot from Canadians' growing dissatisfaction with the government led by former Prime Minister Stephen Harper Jordan 11 For Sale Clearance , and from their campaign pledge to bring "real change" for the middle class and the nation as a whole. For the 43-year-old new prime minister, 2016 is a year to fulfill promises and deliver results.

ECONOMY

After lengthy waiting and several postponements, the U.S. Federal Reserve finally decided on Dec. 16 to raise its benchmark interest rate, for the first time in nearly a decade. The U.S. central bank also stated that there will only be "gradual increases" in the federal funds rate given the current economic conditions.

Still, the complete end of the ultra-easy monetary policy in the world's largest economy would have a profound impact both at home and overseas. With analysts predicting four more Fed rate hikes in 2016 Jordan 1 For Sale Clearance , Americans may have to think about changing their financing plans and rebalancing their spendings and savings, while other countries, particul.
