What Will Obama's Next 100 Days Look Like?

Posted April 30, 2009

The first 100 days of Obama's presidency are over, with today marking his 101st day in office. What will Obama's next 100 days look like? Will the president, as Mary Kate Cary wishes, slow his agenda? Or will he increase his pace? Post your thoughts.

More of the Same Change

Considering that President Obama has thus far stuck closely to his campaign promises and that he seems to have the capacity and energy to continue that pursuit, I think Obama's input to the next 100 days will look very similar to that of the first 100. What I believe will change though, if only a small amount, is his reception in Congress as implementing the details of his initiatives will start impacting voters and businesses. This effect will increase if the economy continues a downward slide.

Health Care Reform

I don't know but President Obama and his administration would do well to get a handle on the health care crisis immediately, within the next 100 days. We've talked in this country about funding health care until we're blue in the face. It's long past time for action, step up to the plate already!

Good basic health care and preventive medicine for all. Someone wants exceptional measures due to an exceptional illness, it's on his/her own dime. Tough love. It's here.
