Fellow Ignatius men:
Obama still has about 1337 days left in office. Even though I do not fully endorse President Obama, all I plan to do is wish him the best in the days left of his term, all 1337 of them.

Agreed. I’m not trying to imply that I think he’s a bad president. That’s not what I was going for.

I’m not defending the people who thought Obama would wave a magic wand and save the country. NO ONE could do that in our government, and expecting it is just a little naive. But it it to early to judge him as a horrible, horrible president.

Don’t get me wrong though. Obama is a fantastic speaker. He is exactly what this country needs right now. At least he hasn’t put us in a ridiculous war (cough cough I think we know who I’m refering to) All I’m saying is that he’s not this super hero that everyone expected.

Alright Gibs,

Maybe my comment is a little ignorant. People doing drugs is far from being Obama’s fault. What i failed to leave out is that the upper-middle class are paying the price. That is when he DOES pass that legislation. Which we all know will happen sooner or later.

I only want to say that Obama is playing a dangerous political game that will eventually catch up to him.

Excellent Tim. Only a couple complaints: First off, and I may be wrong on this, but there has been no legislation passed by the Obama administration rewarding the unemployed for… how did you so eloquently put it?… ah yes “smoking Crack and “trippin’ on Lisa”. Furthermore, i would like simply like to point out that, contrary to popular belief, that the majority of unemployed people are unhappily unemployed. In fact 8.1 percent of the poulation is unemployed, while only 6.3 percent do illicit drugs. That doesn’t even factor in the percentage who do drugs and ARE employed, which composes the majority of the drug users. Other than that though, great job.

Dear President Obama,

Thank you for being that super-hero we all expected you to be. It’s been just 100 days and look what you’ve done! Are economy is incredible. I love the thought of everyone (with a job) is working double hours to make money, while the happily unemployed are getting paid more for smoking Crack and “trippin’ on Lisa.”(LSD). I could not have asked for a better first impression.

Sincerely,
Tim Coughlin

I agree with Nathan. The first 100 days of any presidency should not be judged on the visible results of what the president has done, but should instead be measured by the correlation between campaign promises and starts at reform.
