Obama - the first 100 days

The popular notion is that a President's effectiveness can be assessed based on the first 100 days of taking office. So how did Obama do?

Well, I think he's been pretty darn good. His approval ratings are pretty high - even more people like his personality. Not everyone agrees with his policies but, IMO, he's done a great job so far. 

He's avoided big losses, while securing some big wins.  His presendential campaign was built around the word "change" - he has definitely brought changes after taking office. I am one of those optimistic ones who think these changes will bear worthy fruits in the long-term. At the time of this writing, there are a few indications which point towards economic recovery - a slow one though. Only time will tell the exact effects of these change, but for now I would like to congratulate him for sticking to his campaign promise - "change".
