Barack Obama signs Freedom of Press Act on May 17, 2010 which attempts to provide more protections to members of the press across the world by identifying countries where freedom of press is being violated. Also called the Daniel Pearl Act, as it has the support from the widow of Daniel Pearl, the American journalist murdered by Islamic terrorists in 2001. Obama has had strong legislative battles with Congress, but has also had tremendous success, notably the passage of health care last year.
