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 84. Cuba, here we come!

From the Cable News Network...

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Obama lifted all restrictions Monday on the ability of individuals to visit relatives in Cuba, as well as to send them remittances.
...

So the cruel, brutal dictatorial Castro family will benefit from all the money spent by Americans visiting family. Certainly the money will be put nefarious use by the brothers. Will Cubans enjoy the same freedom to come and go from Cuba at will? Will visitors enjoy world-class healthcare in the commie utopia? The answers are No and No.

Perhaps this move will help GM by opening up a new market for their vehicles. Don't you think it's about time to replace some of those 50+ year old cars they are driving around down there? We have to save the earth, after all! Can't you hear the environmental do-gooders now?
