On The Bandwagon

100 Days

Oh yes Obamarama has gripped the states for 100 days now and so it's time for every news outlet in the world (almost) to 'review' his term. I figure jumping on the bandwagon would be possibly the most boring thing I could do - so let's break it down in a different way.

1. The first White House kitchen garden was founded by Michelle. Recessionista? Check.
2. She also became the first person to be on the cover of Oprah's magazine 'O' other than the lady herself. The girl can override the desires of an egomaniac! Power to her.
3. The First Lady has a higher approval rating than her husband - 72% to 69%
4. Obama has made serious moves to improve healthcare for all - $19 billion if numbers are your thing -> directed at creating electronic record systems. These kind of achievements will go largely unreported, as the economy takes headlines.
5. If you haven't already - check out the Obama youtube channel. It already has over 21.3 million views.
6. Throughout his electoral campaign Obama was rarely seen without his blackberry. Persuading the White House to allow him to hold on to it, despite qualms about security, showed Obama's determination to be his own man.
7. Day 76, April 5th 2009 - Obama announces his desire to pretty much eliminate the threat of Nuclear Weapons with the immortal line 'As the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon, the United States has a moral responsibility to act.'
8. Day 85, April 14th 2009 - Obama attends Georgetown University and delivers the most comprehensive explanation of his economic plans heard yet. Not just calming the worriers down: he also delivers it with charisma and style, as is his trademark.
9. This is scary.
10. This is scarier.
