Top 3 Successes of President Obama in the first 100 Days...

Great Debates
1
  1. Recovery.gov (and for embracing the social internet in general - facebook, twitter, etc…)
  2. Closing the Guantanamo prisons
  3. Being the first black President

What are some better successes? What are some of his failures?

Bonus: Is Swine Flu going to be Obama’s 9/11?

2

His relations to Cuba are what impress me the most.
Meeting with friend and foe alike.

No, swine flu is not a terrorist attack.

3

Swine flu was an inside job!!! [/truther]

4

Passing the Stimulus package.

(yes, I realize you may not feel the Stimulus was a good thing, but Obama obviously does, so it counts as a success).

5

They’ve been closed? Cite, please.

And I’m not impressed with “being black” as a measure of success as president. It may make his *campaigning *even more impressive, but having melanin, in and of itself, does not count as an achievment.

6

Well it was successful in that he got it done, but I wouldn’t say that was so much Obama’s success. The stimulus package was a Bush initiative that Obama expanded upon.

As for whether or not the stimulus itself was a success, remains to be seen.

7

Elevating the prestige and respect of the U.S.A. throughout the world comes to mind. Bush tamped it down to a horrible level.
Bringing back intelligent leadership. To actually have thoughtful careful answers to questions is a treat.
To not feel like our administration sees us as enemies who should have no inside information, but we should blindly trust them is a welcome change.

  1. He set up a website? My nine year old nephew has a website.
  2. He closed it? Not that I’ve noticed. So far, just a lot of chin music. Not that we need a lot of terrorists running around free in the first place.
  3. Are you a racist? I thought we were supposed to be above that sort of stuff.
9

I’m sorry, I voted for the man but what the hell sense does this mean?

10

He’s working on it, and most of the people there have never had anything proven. So calling them ‘terrorists’ is really kind of ridiculous.

11

There were people who said a black man would be president of the United States when pigs fly.

And, 100 days later, swine flu! :slight_smile:

12

1.) Stem Cell Research
2.) Looking at our electric grids (and saying Good God!)
3.) My $25 per week extra unemployment money!

13
  1. He is still trying to do everything he promised during his campaign.
  2. Investing a huge amount of money in education and science.
  3. Getting foreigners to like us again.
14

Sucker as I am for a cheap pun, I couldn’t let this go unrecognized.

15

My choices are the same as Lakai’s and ** Gonzomax**'s.

Yes, I know that’s more than 3. I’m cheating.

16

Oh god. I can’t believe that joke flew past me.
