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 99. Flattered or Furious?

CNN.com...
NEW YORK (CNN) -- A "furious" President Obama has ordered a review of the decision to fly a Boeing 747 frighteningly close to the lower Manhattan skyline, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday.

If you don't think the staff and BOTO did not know about this, you are nuts. He was probably on board along with his biggest donors. But after the reaction in NYC, he needed to come out clean...being "furious" should do it.

And from guardian.co.uk...

Barack Obama's offer of a hand of friendship to Iran after 30 years of hostility may have met with a sceptical public response from Tehran. But now a rapprochement of sorts may be under way amid evidence that the US president's can-do electioneering tactics have struck a chord with his Iranian counterpart, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery? Or is this a mocking jibe at the United States? I think Ackmajeemidod will be the end to this president's reign.

Now hopefully nothing (like the swine flu) will mess up tomorrow...the 100th day.
