Obama's Presidential Typology

The typology that I think best suits President Obama's character type is Active positive, but at sometimes in his presidency he can be seen as a active negative president because of how progressively harder it was to get things done. First of all, a president with a active positive typology exhibits the qualities of being able to be productive while being cooperative with his constituents and members of Congress and in return shows very high signs of emotional reward for the effort he puts forth. Early on in his presidency, Obama showed to be very confident in his judgement and ability which would obviously resemble an active positive type that indicates a relatively high self esteem. Another reason why president Obama was active positive is because he was very determined to take on health care reform by implementing the Affordable Care Act. The fact that Obama wanted to pass this bill without a doubt makes him active positive. In the front line documentary, it explained that many people told Obama not to get involved with health care reform, but he was eager to anyways because he wanted to show that he could take on more bi-partisan legislation to show he was in the presidency to achieve results which is a primary quality of an active positive type. In these acts of trying to cooperate with Congress during its critical change from Democratic to Republican majority in the House and Senate, Obama went after Bin Laden after taking in consideration the suggestions of his advisers and members of Congress. They went through with this action, located and killed Bin Laden which was a very high point in success in Obama's presidency that did not go without recognition. However, as Congress's staff changed to a republican majority, Obama became more active positive when the republicans would constantly say no and reject his proposed ideas because he is nearing the end of his presidency. He has shown to put a lot of effort into politics, but receives very little in return. To conclude, Obama would make an effective president for his time because of the fact that there is a split Congress and he needs to be assertive in trying to pass bills. Also, I think that people should be looking for a president like President Obama and his typology, but it depends on whether he/she is a Democrat or Republican.
