Here is the list of the accomplishments the White House actively touts, even as it disdains what it calls the "Hallmark Holiday" of the 100th day in office.
a:Passing the "largest" economic stimulus bill in American history.
b:Ordering the closing of Guantanamo Bay military detention facility and abolishing "enhanced interrogation techniques."
c:Setting a fixed timetable for withdrawing U.S. combat forces from Iraq.
d:Ordering 21,000 additional troops to Afghanistan and enlisting, with modest new assistance, European allies in a new multi-layered strategy there and in Pakistan.
e:"Returning science to its rightful place" by lifting the Bush restrictions on federally funded embryonic stem cell research.
f:Signing laws to expand children's health insurance (financed by a 61-cent per pack increase in the federal cigarette tax the adviser did not tout).
g:Signing a law meant to improve the ability of women who allege pay discrimination to sue their employer.
h:Diminishing the role of lobbyists in the White House
i:"Forge a meaningful statement from the United Nations" criticizing North Korea's launch of a ballistic missile.
j:Lifting travel and remittance restrictions for Cuban Americans who seek to travel more frequently to the island and send more US currency to their immediate family.
k:Engaging world leaders in Europe, Turkey, Latin American and the Caribbean with "strength and humility."
Damn!!!! He means business. Yes We Can!!!
