The first 100 days are almost up.
Although I don't agree with everything Obama's done, notably his decision to not prosecute CIA officers who engaged in torture and certain appointments, I've been heartened by his first 100 days. They've taken place in the midst of crisis and so far he's navigated the waters well.

100 days really isn't much time on which to judge him but I believe he's gotten off to a fairly impressive start.

2. It's just going to take a lot more time
for some people to get used to the idea that we don't have a moron for President this time around.

5.  He hasn't kept his promises to middle class union workers
He allowed the bank execs to take their multimillion dollar bonuses while giving the banks bailout money and yet forcing UAW members and GM very strict guidelines for more government loans...and GM wants less that 10 per cent of the amount the banking industry has received.
He chose Wall St. insiders with his choices of Geithner and Summers.

7. He had a lot to face. He is doing well, and he has the GOP
fighting itself whle he keeps offering bi-partisanship.

I think it's hilarious.
President B.Hussein Obama is brilliant, and is already doing great things for our country. He has taken more positive steps than the GOP did in 8 years of the Bush era and many years before that nf GOP control of Congress.

He also seems to be a really decent man.
