50 First Days

Despite what top economists say, I believe that President Obama's first 50 days in office have been a huge success. I didn't say a perfect success, but a huge success. People need to understand that we didn't get in this situation overnight so we can't expect the President to be able to wave a magic wand and be able to fix everything over night. He's not Jesus people. I think Americans had this unreal expectation that Obama was going to ride into the Oval Office on a white horse and be able to help America rise out of the ashes like the Phoenix in the first month of his Presidency. Not so. However, in just the little bit of time he has been in office he has outlined and passed an economic stimulus plan. He did keep his promise that he would act swiftly on the economy; so he's on the right track. To the people who voted for him, you put the man in office so now trust him to do his job. I can understand people being a little skeptical of the president's Stimulus Package but give it a chance. At this point anything has to be better than just sitting back and waiting for things to get worse which is what Republicans would like to do. Note to conservatives: Things don't just fix themselves.
