THE FIRST 100 DAYS

GREETINGS BLOGGERS!
We have completed the first 100 days of our blog and it is now time to ask ourselves a very important question: how do our achievements stack up to those of our new president, Barack Obama? Some food for thought:

1. To date, we have completed 81 books (with a few overlaps). Barack Obama has not been reported to have read a single book since his inauguration. (the Constitution isn't bound, so I don't count it) Point: YOMR

2. In a gesture of good will and reconciliation, Barack Obama appointed his formal rival, Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State. We spent several posts expression our deep-seeded hatred for Pat King. Point: OBAMA

3. Barack Obama has set forth plans for an $825 billion stimulus package to help bring the country out of the current recession, most of which I naturally assume is earmarked to be spent on books. Many of our books were rented from libraries, Barack could take a lesson from us about responsible spending! Why buy them if you're never going to read them again, Mr. President! Point: YOMR!

4. Obama's first two staff appointments were Rahm Emanuel and John Podesta, both of whom have Latin Americanny sounding names. Oscar Wao lives in the Dominican Republic, a country I assume is somewhere in Latin America! DRAW

5. Obama's cabinet includes 4 African Americans, 2 Asian Americans, 3 Latinos, and 2 white women. As Andy has pointed out, we're all whities, and only one of them is a woman (way to let the whole team down, Julie) Point: OBAMA

6. Three of Obama's cabinet appointments have come under heavy scrutiny regarding their tax history. Except for Grant (a grown up) none of us even make enough money to PAY taxes because we are in the business of feelings! Point: YOMR

7. Our blog runs perfectly, Barack Obama's blog is currently experiencing technical difficulties. Point: YOMR!

So there you have it, we have achieved more in our first hundred days than Barack Obama could ever have hoped to achieve in his short, unimpressive presidency. Congratulations, Bloggers! Keep up the good work!
