And in this day of 24/7 headlines & 'analysis' the time period is arbitrary and I think exists to suit the tellers of stories not those of us who have elected a President and a party to govern.<br /><br />There are hundreds of thousands of federal government employees and a few hundred elected ones who steer this colossal ship. Like an oil tanker it takes time to turn and time to stop.<br /><br />It's a little like staying up until 3:00 AM on New Years. What difference do the first couple of hours make when one has 365 days to go? <br /><br />Same with one hundred days in a new administration.Arthurstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01083956773592540646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-73971529880457119012009-04-27T22:19:00.000-04:002009-04-27T22:19:00.000-04:00"reduce our Nation's debt."

He also wiped out an effective program that helped help poor children in DC get a better education (because an anti-education special interest group that gives him lots of $$$ wanted this done).<br /><br />I wish he were a lot more consistent on helping the poor. <br /><br />(These criticisms of him wasting money on welfare for the rich while cutting aid for the poor are hardly typical "conservative" criticisms).dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-4157696932642474982009-04-27T17:56:00.000-04:002009-04-27T17:56:00.000-04:00Anonymous,

For example, I won't ding him in this for his abortion policy: since those are promises he made and is keeping.<br /><br />I saw a list comparing to other presidents, and his list of broken promises compared to promises kept isn't bad at all.<br /><br />Shaw: About Beth, doesn't everyone like self-deleting trolls?dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-47676180458127523782009-04-27T12:51:00.000-04:002009-04-27T12:51:00.000-04:00ProLife,
