390 Years Minus 100 Days ... And Counting

In many ways, the discussion of race in America, particularly as it relates to today's issues (the economy, health care, education), brings to mind the parable of the blind men and the elephant. Different people have a firm grasp on part of the truth in the middle of the room — be it the tail, the trunk, an ear, or a leg — but no one seems able to look at the thing itself.

390 Years Minus 100 Days, Pt. 1

By Terrance Heath
April 30, 2009

It's absurd to judge Obama's success at cleaning up messes that were decades in the making, based on his first 100 days in office. It's equally absurd to expect the first 100 days in the administration of an African-American president to change 390 years of racial history in this country. But it's an opportunity to asses were we really are, where we're headed and how far we've yet to go.

April 30th, 2009

grist.org — Seventy-nine percent of Americans think President Barack Obama will do a good job protecting the country’s environment, according to the latest Gallup poll on the topic, released on Earth Day.

Obama at 100: The Slog Has Only Begun

By David Corn
From motherjones.com
April 30th, 2009

motherjones.com — These one hundred days have been something a blur — or, at least a policy blur. There is too much to keep track off, too much to juggle. And that's a strategic message for the Obama White House: to proclaim over and over that they are neck-deep in lots of tough stuff. It's political spin that has the benefit of being true.

100 Days of Competence Versus Crazy

By Bob Cesca
From huffingtonpost.com
April 30th, 2009

huffingtonpost.com — One of the most striking aspects of President Obama's first 100 days has been his ability to not necessarily "feel our pain" but instead to become a role model for how we should deal with our pain. Meanwhile, his opposition has behaved like a googly-eyed, flop-sweat soaked mess — crapping their cages and shouting gibberish about the end of the world.
