In the midst of utter disappointment and abandonment there are many nonprofits still working to slowly rebuild Haiti.
Haitians didn't ask for the task of rebuilding their country, but they are bound together by it. We are lucky to get to support their vision and to build strong foundations for future generations.
With a litany of crises to deal with, now more than ever, President Obama needs his army of advocates once more to continue the fight for change.
As part of HuffPost's One Year Later series, we're looking back at many of the significant moments since Obama was elected. After 8 years of an admini...
Presidential candidate Obama revved up millions with his hope and change mantra. President Obama quickly replaced that with playing the Beltway game. And here we are, one year later.
And the winner is... Ford Motors. Of all of the stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 index, Ford has shown the biggest leap in value since Presiden...

The combined percentage of voters of who deem Obama's agenda "just about right" or "not liberal enough" is 58% -- roughly parallel to Obama's overall approval rating of 54%. That's the center-left governing majority.
We, the People, are perpetuating the tendency to blame one human being in what seems like the implicit wish for a strong monarch rather than a democratically elected President.
Obama's goal seems to be to appeal to a reasonable group that can talk to, rather than past, each other about abortion. If he's going to succeed, he has to confront those who perceive common ground as a threat.
If Obama fails to grasp soon why his idea of reform has alienated key parts of his base -- and if he fails to do something to bridge that divide -- the result could be a full scale mutiny by 2010.
Has President Obama done a good job in office, or is he destined to suffer the same fate of Jimmy Carter and George H. W. Bush, as unmemorable, ineffective one-term chief executives?
What puts this first year in perspective for me is that: Obama may not be smarter than all of us, but he sure is smarter by a long shot than McCain would have been. And that, for now, is enough for me.
Obama's first year has not been full of good signs. He got a few things done while clearly leaning on the wrong side on the most important issues. But it's nowhere near too late.
A politician with great persuasive power can use it in two ways. It can be used to cultivate the energy of the general interest, or it can be used to try and mollify the people while facilitating the elites' agenda.
In the White House, the wistfulness for the simpler days is palpable. "The day was just suffused with emotion and hope and warmth," David Axelrod, Mr....

Narciso Rodriguez was already an established designer and sartorial tour de force before the First Lady was photographed wearing his dresses.
Tuesday's elections are local races -- not measures of President Obama's ability to deliver or a referendum on the president's popularity, according t...
As many photographers can attest, the Obamas are unusually photogenic first family. Below, one year after Barack Obama was elected president, here's a...
So far this year, there has been a tendency to vocalize intent and engage in convenient can-kicking, rather than actionable resolve. That's not timidity -- that's testing the state of the ship's rudder.
Future historians will inevitably judge all 21st-century presidents on just two issues: global warming and the clean energy transition. In that sense, Obama's first year has been a promising success.
Arianna has written much that I agree with. But when it comes to her suggestion that there is some great difference between President Obama and Candidate Obama, I have to register the strongest possible dissent.
Last November, the United States elected a president who campaigned on the promise of change. Critics called President Obama's rhetoric simultaneousl...
In looking at Obama's first year, we must not fall into the typical trap that pits idealism against pragmatism, where the virtuous line up against the effective, and the purists fight the negotiators.
