The Best and Worst of Obama's First 100 Days

Meeting before President Obama's 100th day in office, The Nation editors and writers discuss the encouraging decisions of the administration as well as some moves that deserve criticism from the left as plans go forward. While panelists gave Obama praise for signing the stimulus bill and repealing the global gag rule, the administration's reluctance to prosecute Bush-era officials for torture has disappointed progressives. Panelists in the discussion included The Nation's Editor and Publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel, Washington, D.C. Editor Chris Hayes, Net Movement Correspondent Ari Melber, National Affairs Correspondent William Greider, the Executive Director of the Center for Community Change Deepak Bhargava, Congresswoman Donna Edwards (D-MD) and Congressman Steve Cohen (D-TN).

worst : he stayed silent when people where massacred in ghaza under chemical weapon . That is beneath  him and he should know that . I guess Ron paul is the only one who is not under the AIPAC thumb

Yes, we should blame Obama for being just another puppet for the Federal Reserve.....a private corrupt corporation and he as most presidents are is a whore to unions and special interests. He is a man of banking and finance and talks out of both sides of his mouth. How ridiculous the term "The American People" is. We are so differnent. Also our financial situation, age, goals, etc. etc. have nothing in common. The U.S. should be Balkanised and we would still have problems. It is too big!

Why is the frame of reference to of comparison of the U.S. always to third world countries? Great for propaganda and assholeism.....Do you think they cut heads off in Denmark?
