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

Day 3. Executive orders.

Excerpts from this article...

President Obama issued three executive orders Thursday to demonstrate a clean break from the Bush administration, including one requiring that the Guantanamo Bay detention facility be closed within a year.


A second executive order formally bans torture by requiring that the Army field manual be used as the guide for terrorism interrogations.


A third executive order establishes an interagency task force to lead a systematic review of detention policies and procedures and a review of all individual cases.


OK, maybe now the Iranians and other extremist around the world will stop burning our president (Obama) in effigy.
