So it's been 50 days since Obama took office, and let's see:
He's hired qualified, competent people. (More than what one could say for his predecessor.) He's pushed through a massive and vital stimulus bill. He's set a time-table to get out of Iraq in a couple of years. He's overturned Bush's stem-cell ban. He's put forth an very ambitious budget that promises some much needed re-orientation towards health, education, energy and also removes many of Bush's ridiculous tax breaks and loopholes. He's brought access to health insurance to millions of kids. He's conducting foreign policy in a very smart manner, from healing relations with Russia to expanding bombing raids in Pakistan's tribal regions and sending subtle overtures to Iran. He's denied the barbarians the invaluable PR they were getting from Guantanamo, from the image of an America that tortures. Oh and he's promised to overhaul health-care and sign ground-breaking legislation on energy.
It seems to me that Obama has done more good work in 50 days than Bush did in 8 years. And if it's still not enough, we have 3 years, 315 days to go. Wait and watch.
