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

...
He declined to comment on the pirate situation for the second day in a row on Thursday.
...

WTF? Apparently they are having some troubles with the TOTUS. Why else would he have nothing to say about the pirate situation?
If there are any bad guys out there in the big, wide world, we're screwed. I have zero confidence in this administration.
