Open Thread: The First One Hundred Days

April 22, 2009
By 7 comments

The Obama administration is calling their first one hundred days the “most productive since FDR.” Lord help us. Just look at their accomplishments!

Passing the “largest” economic stimulus bill in American history.

Ordering the closing of Guantanamo Bay military detention facility and abolishing “enhanced interrogation techniques.”

Setting a fixed timetable for withdrawing U.S. combat forces from Iraq.

Ordering 21,000 additional troops to Afghanistan and enlisting, with modest new assistance, European allies in a new multi-layered strategy there and in Pakistan.

“Returning science to its rightful place” by lifting the Bush restrictions on federally funded embryonic stem cell research.

Signing laws to expand children’s health insurance (financed by a 61-cent per pack increase in the federal cigarette tax the adviser did not tout).

Signing a law meant to improve the ability of women who allege pay discrimination to sue their employer.

Diminishing the role of lobbyists in the White House
“Forge a meaningful statement from the United Nations” criticizing North Korea’s launch of a ballistic missile.

Lifting travel and remittance restrictions for Cuban Americans who seek to travel more frequently to the island and send more US currency to their immediate family.

Engaging world leaders in Europe, Turkey, Latin American and the Caribbean with “strength and humility.”

And they say they’ve only just begun!

Where do we begin with this one? Will it take us another World War to get us out of this recession?

    Passing the largest economic stimulus bill: They ought to be ashamed, not proud of that.

    Amen, Kate. They should be ashamed of everything they’ve done and everyone they have appointed.
