Barack Obama administration  

Definition

  • The Barack Obama administration officially began on January 20, 2009, when Barack Obama, the former Democratic Senator of Illinois, was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States. Despite being early in its tenure, already the Obama administration's drug policy shares some similarities with the preceding George W. Bush administration, particularly in terms of budgetary priorities and international policies. [Source: Encyclopedia of Drug Policy; Obama Administration, Barack]
