I sure as heck have no idea how the first hundred days are going to pan out, but the first two days of the Grown-Up Administration have been, well, a dream come true: "Enhanced interrogation" is out, the Army Field Manual is in, CIA overseas prisons are no more, Guantanamo will be shuttered inside of a year, there are no more renditions to nations that torture, and the Bush family can't claim executive privilege over their White House papers forever. I am sure Obama will disappoint us progresssives . . . eventually . . . over something . . . but for now, I sure am enjoying this. Guess he really meant it when he swore to uphold the Constitution on Old Abe's Bible the other day because so far, he's been keeping his promise.
