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 47. Hope and Change?

Quoted in this article, the president said...

"From the day I took office, I knew that solving this crisis would not be easy, nor would it happen overnight," Obama said in the weekly address. "And we will continue to face difficult days in the months ahead. But I also believe that we will get through this - that if we act swiftly and boldly and responsibly, the United States of America will emerge stronger and more prosperous than it was before."

Now that he spent trillions of dollars that still need to be printed, is he moving away from gloom and doom and returning to a message of hope? There is more evidence here.
Surely it is a fine line to balance on to frighten people enough to get your socialist programs passed, yet not too much so they lose confidence in you. If only someone in the media would track down Peggy Joseph and see how she is doing?



Is he worried about losing her with sky-rocketing unemployment and a lead balloon stock market?

This thing with British PM Gordon Brown is really embarrassing...read this article by Mark Steyn. So much for making nice with all the peoples of the world.
