The Politico has an interesting story headlined on Drudge Report regarding Barrack's first 100 days. Apparently supporters of the president are ecstatic at the job he's doing.
Here are my observations about Barrack's first 100 days and the reasons as to why he's perceived favorably among his constituency.
First, I still prescribe to the belief that a huge proportion of the general population, as well as a majority of the Obama voters do not understand the world view that Barrack possesses. They believe that the charges of anti-Americanism and radical left-wing beliefs have all been exaggerated by the political Right. They just don't believe the president can be that socialist. This is coupled with the fact that the majority of Obama supporters (the younger generation) have not experienced freedom and liberty the way our fathers and grand-fathers experienced it. We're used to being told what to do and how to think, so to speak. This generation hasn't had to do anything for themselves, and has the expectation that everything should be given. I think this is the first generation that would naively be willing to sacrifice freedom for security.
Second, most of the policies and burdens Obama and the current congress are implementing do not affect those who voted for the president. Obama makes clear that he stands "for the people". What that means is that he's against capitalism. As such, the uneducated and underemployed are insulated from tax increases, tighter regulations, and the results that occur in terms of the stock market as well as the decrease in white and blue collar jobs. This is part of "leveling the playing field".
You see, the poor plebes that Obama has enslaved will not see the negative effects of our economy. For whatever socio-economic reasons (laziness, apathy, sickness, etc), some Americans will never achieve the American dream. As such, Obama and the current congress will continue to tear down those that have drive and ambition in order to "make things fair" to those that can't. And THIS is how Obama's first 100 days has affected me and millions of others that are "on the economic fence". Obama will make sure that I, and many other opportunity seekers end up on the wrong side. Once he has more than half the country dependent then he will cement his party's power as well as the misguided political philosophy that follows.

Barrack's 1st 100 Days: "Good news for government dependency, Bad news for economic opportunity"

Why doesn't the media fairly cover Obama?
Here's video of the great Obama's oratory skills when he happens to be without his teleprompter. That's well and good. Personally myself, I've blundered and babbled exactly like this in front of people, so I understand his embarrassment at being unable to make a point due to nerves, unpreparedness, lack of rest, or whatever. There's a bigger story here than just Obama's trouble speaking when missing the prompter.
Why isn't the mainstream media covering this? They loved picking on Bush and would have taken every opportunity to do so. It's absolutely disgusting the slant of coverage on Obama and his administration. There are small cracks and fissures here and there, but organizations like ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN are all reluctant to air anything critical of the president. There are so many things to take to task, but the major news orgs won't ask anything. And it's not just about the teleprompter.
Why isn't he asked more about the economy? The administration throws out phony-baloney comments about how health care will do it and the road construction....ad naseum. But, never is it asked specifically why the things that caused this recession are not being addressed RIGHT NOW! They just give him a pass. Is it his presence? Can we not question the president intelligently? It seems like the Twilight Zone at how he's being treated. So I ask the media, when will someone step up and ask the good questions?
