Today is the tenth anniversary of President Obamas'first 100 days!

[Catamount]

Wow--those were his words as he rolled into the cleverest, funniest and most daring address to the the folks at the White House Correspondent's dinner tonight.

(I haven't seen many in the last few years--just the one with Colbert)

So many great zingers straight from his lips--with one of my favorites being that "Michelle had the right to bear arms" and another that "Dick Cheney couldn't make it tonight--because he was writing his memoirs on how to shoot people in the face and torture them."

Let me just say that he mentioned many of opponents by name and even invited John Boehner to join the Democratic party--"since he was a person of color....etc"!

Anyway--I don't want to spoil it for those who have yet to see the show--but I'll just say it one more time--or ask it--how cool is it to have this man as our president?

I know that there is so much for him to do--and he hasn't gone in the direction I'd like him to go on some issues--but hey--I'd rather have him and his brainpower to rule the country than anyone else.

I promised to keep people informed about the daily count--so I guess today is 110 in the age of Obama.

3. I intend to complete my next 100 days in 72 days.

And on the 73rd day I will rest. Wonderfully comfortable in poking fun at himself.

4. That was truly a delight

I couldn't agree more. His speech was historic and groundbreaking, and I laughed my ass off!

I think you meant to say the 10-day anniversary of his hundredth day, but no matter. K+R

5. I believe he said the 10 day anniversary of the first 100 days

He also said he was going to go off reading from the monitor more in the next 100 days and that Joe Biden was going to stay on it more.

6. He also said that in the next 100 days he's considering losing some of his cool

7. The Cheney memoir joke was...

"How to shoot friends and interrogate people."

[Catamount]

8. Yeah you're right...

I knew I'd gotten it a bit wrong...but I also knew I'd be corrected...so it's Saturday night.....

:toast:

9. Dick Cheney's memoirs -- "How to Shoot Friends and Interrogate People "

I love it. The repugs will probably respond with a full fledged hate attack. I hope Limbaugh blows a gasket and is off the air for a week.
