A smiling Obama magnet welcomes people into Norma Cherry's warm-hued kitchen. The picture of the 44th U.S. president is joined by another beaming face, her grandson.

"This is my grandson who's beside Obama because he will be the second future of America thanks to President Obama," says Cherry.

Cherry had just finished her night shift at the post office when NY1 met with her, her daughter and her grandson inside her Harlem coop. The family shared their thoughts on the first African-American president's inaugural year in office -- an office, 65-year-old Cherry helped Obama achieve by donating money, distributing T-shirts and casting her vote.

"When he won, oh that was Fourth of July, Christmas," recalls Cherry.

One year later, Cherry who says she never expected to see a black man in the Oval Office in her lifetime, is still an ardent Obama supporter, despite his considerable drop in recent poll numbers.

"I think we may have expected him to walk in with a magic wand and hit the wand and everything dissolve, all the issues dissolve and it cant happen like that. It's going to take time, a lot of work," says Cherry.

Glynis Cherry, a 45-year-old educator, says her enthusiasm for Obama remains high, and despite his color knows that he must be everyone's president.

"There are issues just not within the African-American community but within class, for children, with our environment with our economy
that I don't think we should look at him in isolation but look at the sum total of all the actions that he is trying to move us progressively in," says Cherry.

Swandi Cherry Clark, 12, admits he had more bounce in his step after Obama was elected, but says he is now more concerned about how the president is going to keep his streets safe and bring an end to the wars overseas.

"That's what one of the things that I had really wanted him to do. To stop wars. And when I heard about him going on with the War in Iraq that really surprised me," says Clark.

Overall, all three generations of the Cherry family say Obama is doing a good job and will continue to support his historic presidency.
