WASHINGTON (AP) - It's been a busy first 100 days for President
Barack Obama. He's been tackling a steep recession, health care and
global warming and trying to revamp America's image around the
world.
The president is marking the day by flying to St. Louis to
answer questions at a town meeting. And he's holding a prime-time
news conference tonight back in Washington. It's the third of his
presidency.
An AP-GfK poll gives the president a public approval rating of
64 percent. The poll also suggests that for the first time in
years, more Americans think the nation's headed in the "right
direction" than in the wrong one. This, despite a deepening
recession that's thrown millions out of work.
But Republicans are giving Obama a poor grade. They complain
that he hasn't kept his promise of bipartisanship -- that they've
been rebuffed in their efforts to offer solutions to the nation's
problems.

I am with Terri. He has done more than Bush did. He bowed to another country's king, he shook hands with Chavez, he allowed a flyover of NYC in the same type jet from 911, he has spent more $$ than any other president ever (in 100 days) and he and his press secretary have said uh, uh, uh more times than ever other person on the planet. Uh, ok? Just wait for the rest, huh?

With his next 100 days, he will likely add another $1 billion debt and single-handedly destroy the coal industry. Yeah I can't wait.
