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 59. See what happens without a teleprompter?

From Political Punch over at ABCNews.com.

Towards the end of his approximately 40-minute appearance, the president talked about how he's gotten better at bowling and has been practicing in the White House bowling alley.

He bowled a 129, the president said.

"That's very good, Mr. President," Leno said sarcastically.

It's "like the Special Olympics or something," the president said.


There is nothing more to say. CNN is even carrying it...wow!

Day 45. Will he or won't he?

The president is getting some pressure from a couple of senators in his own party to veto the newest pork bill. Apparently BOTO (Barack Obama, The One) believes that people have short memories, or don't care as long as they get their piece of the pie. It seems arrogant to me, but then as he said to congressional republicans, "I won.".

Will breaking a campaign promise come back to hurt him in 2012? Time will tell.

Others are picking up on my annoyance with Obama's crutch, I mean teleprompter. The guy can read like nobody else, but the way his eyes drift so awkwardly. Yikes. Its embarrassing that the leader of the free world can not talk without this device. With this behavior, he is "dumbing-down" the presidency...and I don't like it.
