Half Empty or Half Full?

Pundits everywhere have been rating the Obama presidency since he passed one hundred days in office.

Politics is the art of the possible, and it is not possible to advance all the agendas that people hope(d) Obama would push. Nor is one hundred days much time to implement policy changes.

In addition, Obama has had a full plate with stabilizing the financial system, reforming health care, and reforming the financial regulatory system.

I liked his speech to the Muslim world, and his approach to both the Middle East and to Afghanistan seems sound.

Let's not expect everything to happen in the first few months.
