Obama Turns 100 (Days) Old Today, Gets Spector Doll

During this artificial moment we pause to reflect on the results of all that Obama has done and discover...NOTHING. Which is exactly as it should be because the most difficult issues are the hardest to fix. There should be no major results, but rather, a variety of policies that will take hold as time progresses. 

Obama has proved a man of action, which is all that you can ask. He has moved on the policies he said he would, and attempted (and is attempting) to fix what is broken. 

For this celebratory day we give him an Arlen Spector action figure to play with . And if you click over to that L.A. Times link, you will see Obama looking just a bit too happy at his new toy. 
The returning Democrat said he looked forward to working with the White House on issues such as healthcare, immigration and climate change but warned that he will not be "an automatic 60th vote" for the president in the Senate.

If Democrat Al Franken is seated as Minnesota's new senator, as many expect, the president's party will have a 60-vote majority in the chamber -- a number that makes it filibuster-proof for measures supported by the caucus.
