The official evaluation of President Barack Obama performance is the historic 100 day evaluaion.  Achieving  an approval rate of 68% is great and the drop from 80% is to be expected as most Americans go through a weaning of the honeymoon stage of a  new President in the White House.

You must notice that President Barack Obama in fact hit the floor running and have accomplished quite a major feat with the passage of the $787 Billion Economic Stimulus Package.  As a Washington outsider, President Barack Obama has stepped away from the Bush way of running the government which was mostly for the afflluent.  The historic President have kept his campaign promises to take care of and to help the American people on main street.

President Barack Obama did not stop with the $787 Economic Stimulus Package but looked to other bailouts of the housing market of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with the $275 Housing Stability bill headed by  US Treasury Secretary Geithner.  Peter Orszag as President Barack Obama's budget director has warned the American people to not look for immediate results and he has a positive attitude  as most economist about  President Barack Obama performance in light of two wars, an energy crisis and a nation in economic turmoil.

A TV news commentator, Mr. Anderson asked President Barack Obama how did he compare with President Lincoln.  President Barack Obama's reply was that they both were tasks with jobs that they were not trained to do but are willing and adamant learners of their elected posts.  President Barack Obama said that Lincoln had to be knowledgeable of war as he was President during the Civil War.  President Barack Obama said that he had to learn the workings of the federal economy though he was not trained to be an economist.  President Barack Obama graduated Harvard Law School and have headed the prestigious Harvard Law Review.  These are just a few of President Barack Obama's credentials in light of the question asked by Mr. Anderson.

President Barack Obama's honesty that he did not divulge to the commentator as a similarity to the great President Lincoln  is a like comparison of the two commander in chiefs.  His honesty  as President Lincoln of adhering to his campaign promises gave President Barack Obama the backing to introduce a $634 Health Care Plan.  This major Medicare and Medicare health care plan seeks to cover 11 million of uninsured children in America.  This $634 Billion Health Care Plan is going to bring information technology to the health care industry and as a result save the federal government money.  The $634 Billion Health Care Plan also promote a bidding system that will help with seniors health care system in the private sector while providing needed federal revenue.

President Barack Obama in a house of "No" indicating the unyielding economic policies of the Republicans has remained true to the American people to deliver on his promises.He was able to convince three Republicans to agree with the signing of the $787 Billion Stimulus Package into law.  Those brave Republicans who crossed party lines into the non-partisanship that  President Barack Obama stands for were Ms. Collins, Ms Snow and Mr. Specter of Maine and Pennsylvania respectively.  President Barack Obama  started talks of bringing home Americans from the Iraq war that was milking the economy out of $10 billion a month.  Plans are in place now after talking with Robert Gates  of the Defense Department to bring the troops home and to recognize the many veterans who have returned home to joblessness and homelessness.  President Barack Obama $787 Economic Stimulus Plan will focus on the Veteran Affairs Department that promulgate matters of this recourse and have appointed Vice President Joe Biden to make sure that the states are spending responsibly to get the economy back moving again.  President Barack Obama has also instituted a new department to oversee that the money spent by the states from the $787 Economic Stimulus Package is budgeted and used responsibly.

If the 80% rating score is based on a curve and is considered an A, then a 68% is only a subjective drop of 12% so President Barack Obama is performing greatly after having been in the White House for less than two months.  Never has a presidency been so transparent except maybe in President Franklin D. Roosevelt's term when the Great Depression was prevalent. The unemployment rate during those post war times was upwards to 30% or more .  President Barack Obama's administration is dealing with unemployment in Indiana,Florida and other states upwards to 12% or more.  Unemployment is grim in America at this time, but as President Barack Obama said in his inaugural speech and in his speech to the Joint Session of Congress, Americans has recovered from economic crisis before and can recover from economic crisis again.

The $787 Billion Stimulus plan will not be evaluated until 18 months after becoming a law giving economist plenty of time to test the recovery plan for sustainabillity.  The massive tax cuts, tax credits and spending bill became law on February 17, 2009.  Republicans have called the bill a "pork" bill because of the spending entailed.  President Barack Obama has repudiated that statement with the fact that the ecnomy needs a jolt to get it up and running again and spending as in stimulus will give it what is needed.

We, as the American people are to act responsibly in our communities, cities, towns, and states to do what we can performing community service to help each other in these difficult times.  Newspapers are reporting that state governments are placing their employee on four day work weeks to save gas on a five day commute to work.  There are printed accounts of workers foregoing a day of pay each week to keep  fellow employees on the role at restaurant and other places of service.  The entire country heard about the business man from President Barack Obama's Joint Session of Congress speech where a businessman gave his $16 million executive bonus check to needy people in his community.  When asked why did he forego of his bonus that he had rightfully earned, the executive simple reply was that he had known some of the people that were not faring well and needed help since he was  lad.

These are some of the iconic and heroic actions that Americans have done to do their part to help the economy.  Even as you read this article, in light of the recent gas price hike, if you thought twice about making a trip to a nearby grocery store and decided to walk to save gas, then you have done a little to help America.  The saying goes that every little bit helps and President Barack Obama would appreciate it if Americans could return just a little of the optimism, patriotism and trust that he has in this country and the American people.  When he reads the ten letters everyday from the American people that he has requested from the thousands that pour in; when he reads and familiarize himself with the black book of briefings on national security and the economy each night; it is certain that he appreciates that he has earned the whatever approval rating that's printed at that moment.  President Barack Obama  is not resting in the comfort of the numbers but the satisfaction that he is doing the best he can to remake America into the proud country of historic forefathers such as  the first President of the United StatesGeorge Washington and  Thomas Jefferson.

  We as Americans have to do our part and do the best we can be to help President Barack Obama in his agenda of making America great again.  Then again do not give your service for President Barack Obama because he has asked us to give.   Give your time and talents for service in your community for the good of yourself, your family, your friends a needy stranger and ultimately to help rebuild America, your country.
