First 100 Days

Today marked Obama's 100th day in office. The President held a televised press conference, answering questions from reporters ranging from torture, wars, swine flu and the economy. It is such a sharp contrast to Zimbabwe's President - I kept thinking I wonder what would happen if Robert Mugabe had to stand in front of free press and report on how he has been doing on the job that is supposed to serve the citizens - what would his grade be with 90% unemployment, poor education, half the population relying on aid and no infrastructure. I cannot wait till Africans will realize that the government does work for them, they are employed by the citizens and should be accountable for their actions.
