Day 100 in the Age of Obama--and I love it!

[Catamount]

After making a bad mistake with the date the other day- (I said it was 98 days but it was only 96)- I vow to keep better score from now on.

The images of those flowers below my post are to celebrate the hundredth day of our president Barack Hussein Obama!

Of course they hardly do him justice when you consider just how much has been accomplished in such a short time, but it has been very cold so far this spring.

Since most of my plants died during the many unexpected and late snowfalls, I've been busy this week getting my balcony garden ready for summer, and I thought that these warm colors are great representations of the warmth our president exudes in his public appearances, and subtle suggestions of the better times ahead, whiles he is in charge.

Whilst there are always some things I wish were different about the current situation--lets remember that no president in our history has ever been handed such a loaded hand and dealt with it so gracefully and seemingly efficiently.

And all the time he has this incredible and unbelievable bullshit thrown at him from his right wing enemies--who wish him nothing but failure--and threats to his life--and god know what else--and yet he seems unflappable.

The room was packed, and humming with excitement while the reporters waited for the president to arrive.

From the questions--it seems to me that they are designed entirely to somehow--"show him up"-or trick him in some way to give something away---asking things they know very well he cannot answer fully in public--and yet he does answer--always and at great length, and in detail, and without faltering. Indeed always with a sense of humor.

Once again I don't remember ever seeing so many people in a press conference for the shrub--but then I don't remember ever wanting to see of his--anyway. I'm sure he didn't have them every 30 days --the way President Obama does.

It was so cool to see the familiar face of Helen Thomas right in the front where she belongs, and also our up and coming popular Talk-show host of radio and lately TV star Ed Schultz right there in the front row. I wonder if the president will ever take a question from him?

SO on this day I will not criticize, but rather wallow in the fact that we have such a good looking, suave, sophisticated man to to represent us.

And to top off the first 100 days--I thought it not at all shabby that one of the longest serving republicans (though originally a democrat) has finally returned to his better self--and joined the bright side of the senate and become a dem.once more.

Thank you Mr.Obama--you are very much loved in this household--and by 81% of the people!

1. Well done Mr. President

I don't think he could have done better for his first hundred days, even though a hundred days is an arbitrary figure and has no actual significance. Isn't it incredible to be proud of our President again?

K+R.

2. Thanks for your response --zrb

And yes--it's wonderful to be proud of our super-intelligent, handsome, caring, knowledgeable President, under whose guidance I can at last sleep at night once more and not freak out every breathing minute, like I used to-under the last unmentionable guy and his cohorts.

I know that we didn't get everything we wanted yet, but lets see what happens n the next 100 days--I for one am excited and happy to get up each morning-and smile !

3. I expect updates from you regularly to keep us up-to-date on the day thingy.

It's nice to finally exhale, isn't it?

:hi:

4. Absolutely --

I promise to keep you updated!

Think of me as the "fluff writer" !

After the last eight years or longer (when you think of the last couple of Clinton years--and all the crap the repugs handed out then)--I am now too old to be angry all the time.

Somehow--at least for me--all the hard work we all did to elect our President Obama--worked--and I resolved to be a better, kinder and more conciliatory person.

Just the glass half full deal--nothing more!
