Obama's First 100 Days: Day 2. More symbolism (and another shot at the oath).

Based on my recollection of the campaign, here are some expectations of Obama's first 100 days.

Troops out of Iraq US friends with all other countries Close the Gitmo terrorist holding facility Government paid mortgages and free gasoline (according to Peggy Joseph) Focus on war in Afganistan Increase transparency and accountability in Washington Eliminate America's use of coal	Stop Earth's temperature from rising Kill Bin Laden End partisanship in Washington Stop oceans from rising Lower unemployment Increase value of investments (i.e stock market) Lower taxes

Excerpted from CNN...

"Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency," Obama said.

Time will tell on this one.

Among other things, Obama said he would issue a pay freeze for his senior staff.

Considering that they just got their jobs, this too, is pretty much all symbolism.

Has anyone heard about when the government will start paying our mortgages and for our gasoline?
