Obama: The First 100 Days. . .
. . .is a completely useless measurement.
Think I’m wrong? Then why don’t we see. . .
Congress: The First 100 Days
The Supreme Court: The First 100 Days
The New Yankee Stadium: The First 100 Days
Susan Boyle: The First 100 Days
Just to offer some perspective, if you Google “Obama 100 days,” you get 32,600,000 hits. If you Google “swine flu,” you get 3,260,000 hits. It’s a made-up story, generated by lazy, bored journalists.
Right now, we have an economy that may still be in free fall, a potential flu epidemic, almost daily revelations on torture, the Taliban between 70 and 100 miles from Islamabad, and so many other problems that they wouldn’t fit inside a supertanker. But instead of focusing on real news, the White House press corps will pester Robert Gibbs with stupid questions about a meaningless metric.
So yes, media, please spend your time on retrospectives of a blip in time.
It’s not like we have other things to worry about.
