Now that we've passed the 100-day mark, what do you think has been President Barack Obama's best move since gaining office?

Either the "I like to think before I speak" comment in a press conference, or the fake right and drive through the lane easy lay-up. I can’t decide. The skill of dribbling with both hands is either a gift, or attained by conditioning with two balls, or pretending your dominant hand is unavailable for a while. Balance is key personally, socially, and nationally.
Worst move? Not bailing ME out financially, I didn’t get a paid invite to the inauguration and haven’t yet received my personal invitation to stay in the Lincoln bedroom. Ain’t that some crap? Ingrate!:)
I’m going to attempt not to ‘ramble’ on about the ‘best’ or ‘worse’ decisions President Obama has made in his first 100 days in the White House. The reason is because with each decision he made which I thought might have been a mistake, there are so many variable, it’s difficult for me to be absolutely ‘specific’. Similarily, there were a few ‘good’ moves he made, which I would have to ‘qualify’ with a bit of ‘pause’. For example, I liked that he extended the olive branch to the Iranian government, but ….
Therefore, I’m going to pass on making pro or con comments from a political perspective. Instead, I think what I can say ‘confidently’ about what I like best during President Obama’s first 100 days is that I like that he seems to be able to maintain the image and ability of being great ‘family man’ - a good father and husband… even though he has the most demanding and challengeing job in the county … and perhaps the world, as the leader of this great nation.
Bonnie…You expressed it beautifully!
Let’s see, "How do I love thee after 100 days"? I’m so choked up I find it hard to speak!

Hiya Libra Lady -
Maybe the President really did intend for "transparency" to be an identifiable symbol of his Administration. Unfortunately, it is not working … and has not worked since almost Day One. Of course, probably looking at the Presidency from the outside is a lot different than actually being President and having to listen to those terrorists briefings every morning let along having to deal with the likes of Pelosi and Reed. I am certain that the term "transparency" will go the same way as that of "bi-partisanship", which he nixed with the stimulus bill, and also with the word "change". All were intended goals and already, after only 100 days, there are so many cracks, that nothing means what it meant before. The only change we are experiencing is the flow of money from the taxpayer to fill the coffers of the bail-out accounts….and the unreal amount of debt this President plans to leave as his legacy to the next generation of Americans.
