en months after President Barack Obama was elected, Lincoln University students remain steadfast in their support for the nation's first African American president.
"I like the direction he's going in but being on talk shows and doing plugs for Monday Night Football might discredit his presidency," said Malik Holts, a junior at Lincoln University .
Some however, wonder why Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize given that he has only been in office for less than a year.
And some believe that Obama should spend more time on his key legislative issues: health care and education.
"He is going to change the country around to get us out of this wreck we're in," said Omar Cham, a Lincoln University student athlete. "He's going to make America what it is supposed to be," he said.
Last November, hundreds of Lincoln students stood in long lines to cast a vote for Obama. After he was declared the winner, students rallied in the tunnel and celebrated his victory.
