Who needs 100 days

I'm not sure when the media and/or the administrations started tracking the first 100 days, and I'm not sure why. I suppose it's yet another indication of how much of a "Gotta have it now" culture we've created. I don't know about you but I don't want a new president rushing through policy decisions just to show progress NOW.

After all that Obama has accomplished so far, I am afraid the trend may be to start looking at the first 50 days. Let's recap. In 50 days or so as president he has:

• nominated more cabinet members with tax problems than any other president
• filled fewer administration positions (ask Tim Geitner)
• spent more money than any president has in their first year!
• had more parties at the White House
• broken more campaign promises
• alienated the minority party
• talked about raising taxes in a recession
• setback welfare reform 15 years
• commented on a talk radio personality
• given inappropriate gifts to foreign leaders
• actually gotten Republicans to organize and protest

I don't know what he's going to do for the rest of his term. Instead of change you can believe in it's speed of change you can't believe.

If I was elected to the most powerful position in the world and had as little experience as Obama does, I would focus on only one thing at the beginning.

And I'd pick the economy. But I guess that's just me.
