Slate Magazine does Obama’s 100 days right
This is old news (100 days was April 29, 2009), but if you didn’t see “100 days of Barack Obama’s Facebook news feed” by Slate, you need to. Some of my favorites:
“Michael Steele created the group R to the N to the C.”
“Joe Biden completed the quiz Which sexy man are you? with the result ‘Joe Biden.’”Bobby Jindal
Bobby Jindal: “Why hello! Didn’t see ya there. So what’s the deal with volcano spending??
Say, wanna ride in my ice cream truck?”
The 100 days metric is a nice number to look at and talk about, but seems a bit silly. Even after a full 100 days, some cabinet positions are still open. Many more lower, but still senior roles are unfilled. How can you really judge an administration that doesn’t even have all the pieces yet? To compare, what would we say now about Bush’s first 100 days? (Say, CNN for example.)
In any case, Slate did it right, and had some fun. Click the image for the entire 100 days as a Facebook news feed.
