first 100 days of nada

apparently i got swept away in the election buzz and though obama was not my first choice, in fact my first choice would not be an actual president, i got behind him and even a little excited at the possibility of a us president that i was not completely ashamed of. the biggest reason for my support of obama was that he pledged transparency.  well, it has been 100 days and despite the fact that the new administration has taken a few baby steps toward transparency, most of what sucked about the last 8 years still sucks.i fully realize that it is not up to the president to revive a failed economy, it is just not within his/someday her power, but what about FDR's first hundred days (which coincidentally is when we first started judging a president by his first 100 days).  FDR had numerous public works projects underway that created the jobs that ultimately pulled the country out of depression (yeah, the war machine helped too). i was really hoping for some of that from obama and am pretty ashamed to admit that i'm disappointed, because that means that i let myself hope that things were actually going to change.

i am stoked about the pledges to shut down guantanamo and end secret torture practices...so, one for your team obama.
