It should come as no surprise to anyone reading this that I am a huge fan of President Barack Obama. I was an early adopter in his campaign and I was deeply invested in his run for the White House. And when he won in November, I was actually in shock that something so important to me actually came to fruition.

Now, 100 days into Mr. Obama's presidency, I can honestly say that I am still deeply satisfied with my decision. I am astounded by the sheer number of issues that he has had to deal with. Any one of the crises could have proved too much for a new president, but he has had crisis after crisis - both at home, with the economy and health care, and abroad, with the continuation of military conflicts started by the previous president.

I am impressed most of all with the way in which Mr. Obama meets each new crisis that is handed to him. I think the title of an essay in Salon today sums it up: "Mr. Calm".

Sure, there are things that Mr. Obama has done or approved that I don't completely agree with - I don't expect to agree with everything that he does. That is the nature of living in a democracy where contrasting view points need to be balanced. But overall I am highly impressed with the way this presidency has begun and hopeful for what the future holds.

Grade: A

(Go ahead, accuse me of grade inflation. It may be true because I am biased. But I will stick by my grade.)
