First 60 days

What a relief. I'm glad to see everything going so well for our new president.

Not even 70 days into his first term yet and already he's got such a great handle on the national debt, foreign policy, unemployment, health care, tax policy and the internecine quarreling of congress that he has plenty of free time to do all of the fun stuff that POTUS's get to do.

Things like posting on his blog, updating his Twitter feed, choosing a new pet dog, filling out presidential NCAA Tournament Brackets and, hanging out with his good friends in Hollywood.

I don't know about you, but last night's appearance by Obama on Jay Leno's Tonight Show gave me a renewed faith that Pres.O. has everything under control.

Some may say he's just pandering to populist outrage, appearing with comedians and actors on late night TV to diss AIG for paying a couple hundred million in bonuses.

I say it's better to get this outrage out of the way now before the Obama administration gives AIG another $30 billion in a couple of weeks.

Besides, Pres. O. doesn't really have anything better to do.

  2. Yea, I think he should have had a vacation already.

  3. He certainly has earned a vacation, what with all of his hoping and changing and saving the jobs of hundreds of investment bankers.

  4. Haha, I love it.

    His comment was careless, which, to me, says quite a bit about his character.

  5. He's not going to let the Repubs control the public perception of this bailout issue. And what are people really watching? Leno, Letterman, Daily Show--that kind of shit. Guy's smart! Gonna put that in writing and risk looking like an idiot. But at 70 days, I've got time to see if it turns round.
