Getting a jump start on the crucial first 100 days of his presidency, Barack Obama accomplishes the following in the first 100 hours (as of noon on Saturday, January 24th).
- Convinced Aretha Franklin to dig out her church hat and go to town.
Bad-ass hat.
- Increased his swoonability factor to the one-trakallionth degree.
(The answer, by the way, is “very good looking.”) - Took the Oath of Office twice.
- Revamped www.whitehouse.gov to make it more user-friendly and promote the transparency of the Obama Administration [which, “Obama Administration” totally just sent shivers down my spine].
- Proved that he has much better luck as President than Wyclef Jean.
- Ordered the closure of Guantanamo.
- Took a firm stand against torture.
- Put firm limits on lobbying.
- Put the freedom back into the Freedom of Information Act.
- Raised a ruckus over the International Gag Rule.
- Caused Aaron McGruder to make a big ol’ fool out of his sour grapes self.
- Made a whole bunch more money for Blackberry.
- Put the smack-down on Rush Limbaugh’s listeners in the Congress.
- Delivered his weekly address. Online.
- Gave my girlfriend, Rachel Maddow, something new (though I must say, a something far less worrisome than before) to worry about.
I guess, essentially, during his first 100 hours the Obama Administration has achieved more awesomeness than the Bush Administration did in eight years.
