"First 100 Days"?? That's it? Why are we supposed to care?

Posted by con_carne Apr 27 '09, 15:19

Prediction: The President will talk up his policies and try to make them sound critical to the recovery the economy and our national security. And, in a shocking twist, he will say that he is forward-looking.

Stupid waste of time. There has been quite enough pretty speechifying by this President. We get it. Your policies are important and we should agree with you. Will Obama be telling us something we don't know with this speech?

Responses:

Apparently, he won't be doing anything else the rest of his term! -- nm - psilotum Apr 27, 15:35
the media is making a big fuss about this 100-day milestone. They've done it before, IIRC, but not quite to this level of cacophony. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 27, 15:21 15
- they always make a big deal of it, though of course there is more media now than there was for previous presidencies. -- nm - Reagen Apr 27, 15:24
- Related annoyance: The term "mainstream media" Ugh, you are all mainstream now stoppit! -- nm - Qale Apr 27, 15:23
- cause some commentator told us we should care. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 27, 15:21
- I don't think anyone has a problem with the *media* making a big deal of it. Why is Obama? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 27, 15:21 10
  - They *all* play to the 100 day thing. - Will Hunting Apr 27, 15:32
  - Every once in a while, hearing from Fearless Leader is great ... but most of the time, the average person kind of wants it to be opt-in, ya know? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 27, 15:28
  - I think its irrevelant, I thought so with bush as well - tRuMaN Apr 27, 15:22 7
    - Did Bush do a prime-time address for his 100 days? I'm happy to decry that, too... I'm not choosy. :) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 27, 15:24 6

        If he'd just move the time around more. - the liioulu with rain and sun and showers and wind Apr 27, 15:35
      - He probably had fewer addresses in his 8 years than Obama in his first 100 days. - the liioulu with rain and sun and showers and wind Apr 27, 15:27 3
        
        Which, IMO, is a problem for Obama: overexposure. I mean really. -- nm - con_carne Apr 27, 15:28 2
        
        as long as it doesn't result in my recordings being afflicted by Andy Rooney's Eyebrows, I'm OK with it ... heh ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 27, 15:29 1
        
        (sadly, it - and sports - have caused for more Rooneyitis in the last few months than normal) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 27, 15:29
- ... and I think Obama's trying to address that media inquisition, perhaps relying on numbers that indicate the public is actually concerned - Beryllium Apr 27, 15:21
I don't even care -- nm - Luke Skywalker Apr 27, 15:20 2
- funny, neither do we. -- nm - Fox Apr 27, 15:34 1
