Can Obama Get A Break.?

"Obama hasn't finished his 100 days and yet is being attacked in over 100 ways"....
At times there seem to be only two types of Americans: those who WANT our president to succeed,whether they voted for him or not because our economy,and by extension the global economy is in deep dire doo-doo.... AND those who seem so anxious to for him to fail and pick apart everything the our president does or suggests..it seems unpatriotic. I didn't expect a honeymoon with the Republicans , especially with his more aggressive critics( I can see the drool from my TV set). I did expect that in lieu of the big pile of 'former-administration-shiggity' left unceremoniously at his feet to shift through and somehow 'save us all' from, that he could at least get through his first 100 days. I guess not.
MEANWHILE in Europe....
Watching the Obamas in England the other day, one can see the 'rock-star' appeal he and the 1st lady have on the world,however he still has an uphil battle with the G20 Summit. The top twenty of the most influential minds in their respective countries met to discuss how to get out of this global recession. This is what has been reported so far: "President Obama’s trip to Europe may so far appear to be friendly... beneath the smiles and handshakes, the G-20 Summit is shaping up to be a tug of war. The leading nations have split roughly into two camps: The United States and Britain on one side, which wants increased and coordinated global spending; and France, Germany, and Russia on the other side, which wants, in place of increased spending, international regulation" One guy from the Czech Republic even called the president's plan "The Road to Hell".......
Well, no one thought it would be easy but in most cases when you are on a new job they give you at LEAST 90 days to prove yourself!
