1. i don't necessarily disagree with you- the government in it's entirety is a cluster fuck. i don't believe that it is helpful to point fingers at the new president, esp. since he's been in office a mere 3 weeks. moreover, he has shown an ability to move quickly, appointing cabinet members, etc. did he make mistakes? sure. did he know some would have tax issues? doubtful. does that make them *crocks*? no.
i also don't think it's fair to ask "give me some positive spins that come from his latest actions?" when he's yet to be in office 1 month but it's clear his passing the stimulus bill was a huge success, clinton didn't have near that sort of accomplishment until his second term. no other president has accomplished such a passage ever (regardless of if it will work or not)
other accomplishments in the 1st few weeks of the presidency-
signing an expansion of children's health insurance. an employment non-discrimination bill. rolling back Bush administration policies on detention of suspected terrorists, labor policies and fuel efficiency.
