I had to go with the troops visit because I thought it was really symbollic to see that warm, enthusiastic welcome and watch all those "the troops don't like Obama" myths fly out the window. A close second was the pirate ordeal-a major test that President Obama passed with flying colors (BTW-can someone link the NBC interview of Capt. Phillips? I'll bet it was pretty amazing.)
Meeting with the troops was awesome, as was the resolution to the pirate situation. However, I went with the Stimulus (ARRA), because it was really needed to kick the economy back into drive.

I voted for the way he dealt with the pirates. For me, their fate represented how we should deal with them-- shots to the head because they tried messing with us, but the benefits of our legal system for one of them that decided it'd make more sense to just cooperate.
I'm just glad the president is showing the world that he can use force when necessary.

America is not at war with Islam....In fact our partnership with the muslim world is critical in rolling back a fringe ideology that people of all faith rejects....BHO in Turkey.
His Speech in Prague....Priceless. A world with no nukes..How dreamy.
I will not throw the first punch but I wil certainly throw the last.....President Barack Obama.

I think the highlight of his first 100 days in office happened on day 1. That was the day America put away years of bad decisions and put aside hard feelings and shame to elect, and innaugaurate, our first Black President. Day one has to be the most historical day of his forst 100, and therefore the biggest highlight.

I voted "other" because I am impressed with the overall change as to how the White House and the POTUS is viewed. They are no longer viewed by most citizens as the house of horrors, but as a house of hope and possibilities.

Happy 100 Days RFO!
