Barack Obama: the first 587 hours
Everyone seems to get quite excited about what politicians have achieved in 100 days, as if this is some magical milestone on which to judge their entire existence. Hogwash! It’s not even a prime number.
My model is the first 587 hours. So here we go.
Hour 1: Obama takes office. There was some kind of stuffup.
Hour 24: Obama re-takes office. No stuffups this time.
Hour 216: Obamicon.Me records its 500,000th Obama icon. Most of these are attributed to Duncan.
Hour 587: Prominent and world famous blogger Stu chronicles the first 587 hours of Obama’s presidency.
So far, nothing too interesting has happened. I’ll see you after 8191 hours of office!
