Obama has now created or enlarged 26 national monuments during hispresidency. As a result, his administration says, Obama has protected more of thenation&39;s land than any other president has. But some residents and officials, in bothMaine and Hawaii, object to the plans. (76) They say their local economies depend onthe use of these areas.
In establishing this monument, Obama took the side of conservationists (自然资源保护者) who want laws to protect wild lands. Creating a national park usuallyrequires the approval of Congress. But a 1906 federal law allows the president toestablish national monuments on his own.
The land&39;s new status as a monument means that mining and drillingoperations are forbidden there. (77) It may also severely limit activities such aslogging, road-building, and hunting. Some of Maine&39;s politicians who want to protect the state&39;s logging industries say Obama should not have acted alone. They sayWashington should not tell the states how to use their land, especially when people&39;sjobs are at stake. Maine politician Susan Collins said the president should havelistened to Maine lawmakers and residents, as well as to the U.S. Congress, beforemaking his decision.
However, those who support the president&39;s decision say the establishmentof the new monument will lead to new jobs through tourism.

Obama's victory appears to have given blacks and other minorities a true national role model. For years, many looked to athletes and musicians for inspiration. As Darius Turner, an African-American high school student in Los Angeles, told The Los Angeles Times, "Kobe doesn't have to be everybody's role model any more."
Recent polls also suggest that Obama's victory has given Americans new optimism about race relations. For example, a USA Today poll found that two-thirds of Americans believe relations between blacks and whites "will finally be worked out". This is the most hopeful response since the question was first asked during the civil rights revolution in 1963.
However, it's still too early to tell whether Obama's presidency will begin to solve many of the social problems facing low-income black communities.
Although blacks make up only 13 percent of the US population, 55 percent of all prisoners are African-American. Such numbers can be blamed on any number of factors on America's racist past, a failure of government policy and the collapse of the family unit in black communities.
It is unlikely that Obama will be able to reverse such trends overnight. However, Bill Bank, an expert of African-American Studies, says that eventually young blacks need to find role models in their own communities. "That's not Martin Luther King, and not Barack Obama," he told The Los Angeles Times. "It's actually the people closest to them. Barrack only has so much influence."
In the opinion of black British politician Trevor Phillips, Obama's rise will contribute more to multiculturalism than to race relations in the US.
"When the G8 meets, the four most important people in the room will be the president of China, the prime minister of India, the prime minister of Japan and Barrack Obama," he told London's The Times newspaper. "It will be the first time we've seen that on our television screens. That will be a huge psychological shift(心理转变) for both the white people and the colored ones in the world."
