Barrel Strength

Recent press reports comparing Obama to Lincoln and FDR, were obviously not enough to satiate Obama’s ego.  So in a essay that Obama wrote to commemorate Martin Luther King Day, he states:

In the more than two centuries since, inaugurations have taken place during times of war and peace, depression and prosperity. Beneath the unfinished dome of the Capitol, a young lawyer from Illinois swore an oath to defend the Constitution a divided nation threatened to tear apart. In an era of unprecedented crisis, an optimistic New Yorker refused to allow us to succumb to fear. In a time of great change, a young man from Massachusetts convinced us to think anew with regard to serving our fellow man.

Without working a single day as a President, Obama draws comparison to Lincoln, FDR and JFK.  So how did Obama execute his first task as a President?  Your correspondent will let you decide.
