    Will he or won't he?

    We're still trying to decode President Obama's words on whether or not Bush officials will be prosecuted for enhanced interrogation techniques. What we do know is that the president's sentiment has shifted from "reflection not retribution" to placing the decision in the hands of the attorney general.

    Though the Obama administration has tried to downplay the symbolism of the president's first 100 days, Obama is using the day to highlight his accomplishments and call on Americans to support him in the days and months ahead.

    Hannity Producers  |
