100 Days/Obama
There was no media shortage yesterday of reflection and
commentary on President Obama's first one hundred days in the
Oval Office.
Among the President's report cards were those from the BBC,
Huffington Post and
Brennan Center.
The Kansas Citian published its own
chronology of the first 99 days.
The Economist compared Obama's approval rating at 100 days
with other U.S. Presidents.
The Wall
Street Journal headlined Obama "engaged, yet elusive" while
acknowledging, of course, that these times defy easy
descriptions and old labels. The Journal put the first one
hundred in historical
perspective as did the New York Times which asked
five
historians for their view.
The Takeway
talked to Nobel economist Paul Krugman.
There's more from the
Washington Post
Xinhua
Slate
Salon
Daily Beast
Video
If you prefer to watch video, an assembly of Obama footage is
available from Politico and the
Guardian editors go all
talking heads.
