You would be wrong

Arianna? Not the best of times, not the worst of times, but:

Sometimes 100 days feels like more than 100 days. This is one of those times. Mr Obama's first 100 days have been among the most eventful in history.

Really?

So how's it going?

According to the American people, pretty damn good. Not only do 69 per cent of the public approve of the job he is doing, but last week, for the first time since January 2004, more Americans felt the country is heading in the right direction than in the wrong (48 per cent to 44 per cent). Remarkably, this number has been steadily rising even as the economy has been steadily falling.

On election night Mr Obama warned that “the road ahead will be long” and that “our climb will be steep”. But his poll numbers are a vindication of the idea that, with the right leadership, Americans are mature enough to heed those words and not expect immediate results.

Emphasis mine. So you might wonder, is this a parody? (Our President Barack Obama, right for America) But you would be wrong.

P.S. Eat your veggies, or else: 

Creating a system in which more people can feel they are true stakeholders in their communities will not only produce physical benefits - it will help to repair America's moral infrastructure. Their answering of the call will be additional proof that Americans have been waiting for a leader to ask more of them.

Michelle says eat your veggies. You can be proud now.

Oh, and it will cost you TRILLIONS.
