Obama’s 99th Day in Office

Tomorrow marks Obama’s first 100 days in office. Obama has been all over the place, but a couple of things that make me happy I voted for him include the overturning of the Global Gag Rule, the passing of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act, and his signature to shut down Guantanamo Bay. I am also happy with many of his appointments, most notable to me is Van Jones as the green czar, someone who comes from the same organizing community as myself.
The one place I differ with this administration, even if far better than the last administration, is their stance on foreign policy from our role in the G20 to our stance on Afghanistan. That said, I will say in watching the news coverage of Obama in international settings, it is nice to have a president that is not a total embarrassment to us and how we are represented overseas.
What are your favorite accomplishments of the Obama administration to date and how do you think he has prioritized his work around gender based reforms, healthcare, the economy, the war, and immigration?
