Obama is a good leader, because he is trying to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor. A wide gap between the rich and the poor is never good. We can look back into history to see this. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, the rich got out of their taxes, so the poor had to pay more, which widened the gap. The dynasty soon fell. While it may not be working completely yet, Obama is doing all he can to fix this problem.
Side note: This is a very democratic stance on American politics, however it is more of a democratic question, as Obama is a democrat.
Christopher Columbus is the explorer who is credited for discovering America. Of course, there were already people living in America at the time who we call Native Americans. There even was a European, Leif Ericsson, who had been to the Americas before. However, it was Columbus' voyage that started the exploration and colonization of the Americas.
