Based on my recollection of the campaign, here are some expectations of Obama's first 100 days.

  • Troops out of Iraq
  • US friends with all other countries
  • Close the Gitmo terrorist holding facility
  • Government paid mortgages and free gasoline (according to Peggy Joseph)
  • Focus on war in Afganistan
  • Increase transparency and accountability in Washington
  • Eliminate America's use of coal
  • Stop Earth's temperature from rising
  • Kill Bin Laden
  • End partisanship in Washington
  • Stop oceans from rising
  • Lower unemployment
  • Increase value of investments (i.e stock market)
  • Lower taxes

Day 91. Guys, guys,...

On budget cuts...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Cut a latte or two out of your annual budget and you've just done as much belt-tightening as President Barack Obama asked of his Cabinet on Monday.

The thrifty measures Obama ordered for federal agencies are the equivalent of asking a family that spends $60,000 in a year to save $6.

A fly on the wall would have heard this at today's cabinet meeting...
"Guys, guys, come on guys, settle down. It's time to get serious about the budget, really serious...because this is going to hurt..."

I have never been more embarrassed as an American Citizen as that I am right now.
It is getting to the point where it is not even funny anymore. Thankfully I have only nine more days!

Seriously, I guess this is patriotic or something, we should ask Joe Biden.
