First of all, I think I'll let him take his coat off, get the utilities turned on, maybe have his mail forwarded.....:hmmm:

There's a reason for that.

I guess itīs fairness!

Personally I think it is more than fair to give him at least the holy first 100 days to show what he can get started and if he is honest to his pre-election promises.

From my point of view Mr. Obama had an amazingly fast start, revving from 0-100 in a blazing short time. If he keeps up his speed and can stay focussed on his main objectives, then he is exactly the man the world, and not only the US, needs in these days.

Keeping my fingers crossed, that his government will succeed.

The whole problem with counting promises is that they aren't weighted as to importance. IMO he's already compromised or broken two of the most important ones (no lobbyists and the 5 day waiting period before signing non-emergency bills into law).

But time will be the only true test, so, we'll see.
