12. Obama signed the stimulus on his 28th day as president
And would have signed it sooner if he could, so you're a little off. And I don't buy the argument that the stimulus doesn't help "people."
There's also this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/29/obamas-first-100-days-10_n_192603.html> and this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huffingtonpost/obamas-first-100-days-rep_b_192515.html>
The Lilly Ledbetter Act was good too. I was very hopeful during the first 100 days. Since then, with the exception of the Sotomayor nomination, it has been all downhill.
Perhaps your argument would be stronger if you showed that FDR fought for the people for 13 years (whereas Obama showed interest in fighting for the people for only 100 days).
Kill the bill.
Forcing people to buy insurance is no more the answer to a failed health care system than forcing people to buy houses is the solution to homelessness.
