Obama's 100 Days

Since the media is having so much fun extolling the virtues of President Obama and his first 100 days in office, I thought I might review just the past few days to see just what we are not looking at in order to examine the grand fiction that is his first 100 days.
$328,835 spent on a flight by Air Force One over New York. The President claims his did not know and has ordered and investigation. There seem to be two potential issues. 1) He did know and has lied now that it back fired. 2) He really did not know and thus we have a President who can lose track of Air Force One. Neither is a good option.

Then there is tonight, on the news President Obama referring to his administration not recommending closing the Mexican border due to swine flu as akin to closing the barn door after horses have gotten out. Thus since we alreay have cases in the US there is no point in preventing more. What? How does that make sense? How about this analogy? Well since you have already hit me with your car, why don't you just back up and try again.

All this is ignoring the 180 on many social issues, homeland security, and international relations issues that have marked the first 100 days, and some how NBC runs with the idea that Obama's first 100 days have hurt the GOP. I am not long sure what planet I am on.
