Shortly after twelve o' clock noon today Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States of America. Like every president before him going back all the way to Franklin D. Roosevelt, the first one hundred days of a presidents administration are often scrutinized as an assessment of the ground upon which a president and his administration will stand. For Obama, these hundred days may well be the most difficult of his life, and the most trying for any president in recent history. Running on a campaign of hope and change during a time of economic hardship is a powerful and inspiring tool. It also, however, creates very high expectations which Obama will now be held to.
Our goal here on this blog is to collect all news regarding the efforts of Obama and his administration over the next one hundred days and provide an objective evaluation of how his efforts match up with his promises and the public's expectations.
Coming soon: a collected list of those promises and expectations and a commentary on the inauguration ceremony.
