Keeps making good moves and helping things. And looks like the new Senate is doing a great job too. And we aren't muslim or communists yet lmao. Where's the griping?

Hopefully the Senate will do a good job and cut a lot of fat out of the House passed on the stimulus package. Isn't it amazing how the sides of flip flopped on the idea of a stimulus?

I feel pretty good about it all.
Of course there'll be back and forths and finger pointing about the stimulus, but it wouldn't be Congress if there wasn't!

The executive pay cap was a pretty intriguing proposal - make no salary higher thant he president's if you're getting taxpayer bailout. I would expect these companies being targeted would find a way to get around that somehow in red tape and papertrails(they managed to give out $18B in bonuses....)

At least the man is doing something. I feel good about the man at least trying.

[R13]

He's been doing a pretty good job so far.

Its very early and he is trying to do a lot of things quickly. The first 100 days is always considered very important for a president. Lord knows I hope he does well. I hope any president does well. There's only two things that I can really critique at this time personally. One, he's gotten caught flipping a few of his own executive orders so far for staffers (ie lobbyist), and the other is what the President called a morality issue. On the same day if I am not mistaken, he said that Gitmo was morally wrong and wants it closed within a year. He went on to open back up an overseas abortion funding program. Placing one on the wrong of morality and not the other is poor IMO.

I do like the freezes he put on staffers making over 100k, and as elp mentioned above the cap on executives of on the bailout.

These first 100 days are, and will be very interesting.
