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 90. 'Grave' concern.

From CNN

(CNN) -- President Obama called Sunday for the release of a U.S. journalist convicted of espionage in Iran.

"I am gravely concerned with her safety and well-being," Obama, who was attending the Summit of the Americas, told reporters in response to a question about 31-year-old Roxana Saberi.

"We are working to make sure that she is properly treated and to get more information about the disposition of her case. She is an American citizen and I have complete confidence that she was not engaging in any sort of espionage. She is an Iranian-American who was interested in the country which her family came from. And it is appropriate for her to be treated as such, and to be released."
...

Wow, this guy is tough. Though to me it sounds like he is on the campaign trail with the "we're working hard for you" schtick. I bet he also has his sleeves rolled up into a nice cliche.

But you'd better watch out Acmadeemajod, the Israelis are coming for you.
