Allan Lichtman, Presidential Historian said, "It's been one of the most active and productive first one hundred days in the history of the country. It is an extraordinary record of getting things done. You can judge his policies according to your values, but I don't think you can really make the argument any longer that he's not prepared for the job."
Well, with an economic crisis that is considered to be even bigger than the great depression of the 30's and not to mention numerous other political and human conflicts, Obama's tasks and the country’s overall expectations were nothing short of a challenge. I think that regardless of if you identify yourself as a conservative or progressive, one aspect of the Obama presidency seems to stand true: only 100 days into office and a lot has been accomplished. In his first 100 days in office, the President has announced a $787 billion stimulus package to rescue banks and automakers and $275 billion plan to halt home foreclosures. Also, he ordered closure of the Guantanamo Bay prison and revised U.S. interrogation policies for terror suspects. Not only this, he also announced plans to end the combat mission in Iraq by 2010.
As you can see, from the new approaches to war to more than a trillion dollars in government stimulus spending; from pirate attacks to swine flu epidemics; from controversial cartoons to Senatorial defections, this administration has certainly seen its fair share of difficult decisions and has kept it interesting along the way. As Obama still remains a favorite amongst U.S. citizens and his Obama-crazed fans, we can only hope and pray that his success and approval rate in office will be infinite.
To quote Mr. Obama himself, "Now is the time to act boldly and wisely, to not only revive this economy, but to build a new foundation for lasting prosperity."
