Obama's First Hundred Days
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailyHe is as velvety smooth as a cold glass of Guinness, this new president of ours--and even boasts a drop or two of Irish blood on his mother's side--not to mention the good looks of a Kennedy, the even keel of a Roosevelt, the understated swagger of an Eisenhower. He has riding shotgun with him a First Lady who is simultaneously hip and squared away, and two little girls so pretty and poised they might have come from Central Casting. ...
Just Imagine: The First 100 Days of John McCain
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyIf things had gone differently..... John McCain, the oldest first-term president in history, is proving as rambunctious and pugnacious as the youngest one, Teddy Roosevelt. Of course, Teddy probably would have sent the Marines to Venezuela, while McCain had to make do with mugging for the cameras with an exaggerated grimace when he was forced by protocol to shake Hugo Chavez's hand at the recent hemispheric summit. ...
Gibbs Gives Obama a B+ on 1st 100 Days, Says Republicans Can 'Defend Their Actions'
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyDuring yesterday's briefing, I was surprised at how few questions were asked about the President's 100th day in office, which he will mark Wednesday with a prime-time news conference. It seems the swine flu ate most of the briefing.Helen Thomas did ask Gibbs to grade the administration's performance in the first 100 days, and here's what Gibbs had to say:In retrospect, Helen should have given him a choice between A+ and F. Of course, he's going to say B+, and I'm surprised he didn't say they lost points for "caring too much."I asked Gibbs to rate the Republicans' first 100 days under Barack ...
Daily FLOTUS: How Michelle Obama Will Spend her 100th Day
By Lynn Sweet - Politics DailyWASHINGTON-Welcome to The Daily FLOTUS at PoliticsDaily.com. I have some scoopage here for you about what First Lady Michelle Obama will be doing on her 100th day as First Lady. But first let me say hello. The Daily FLOTUS will focus on First Lady Michelle Obama and the East Wing offices she presides over. For those who wonder who or what is a FLOTUS-let me explain. It's an acronym for First Lady of the United States. The president is POTUS, President of the United States. Washington loves its jargon. And so far, also Mrs. Obama. This is day 98 of the Obama administration and Mrs. ...
The Republicans' First 100 Days
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyWith President Obama's 100th day in office rapidly approaching, there will be a raft of stories enumerating, dissecting, and otherwise catalogging his accomplishments during the FDR-inspired timeframe. The best of these can, without a doubt, be found here. For rabid Obama-haters, try this one. But what about the Grand Old Party? How have the Republicans fared during this micro-centennial? What have they accomplished since Barack Obama took office? It is tempting to sum it up using some combination of the letters N and O, but really, they've done so much less than nothing. ...
VIDEO: 100 Days of Chuck Todd
By Patricia Murphy - Politics Daily"Politics Daily" caught up with Chuck Todd on the north lawn of the White House recently to discuss his first 100 days on the beat as NBC News' chief White House correspondent. Todd described the best and worst parts of the less-than-glamorous job, told us which president once looked at him and thought "Who the hell are you?" and responded to rumors of a possible MSNBC Saturday show for his fast-rising star. (For more on Todd's fans, see "Chuck Todd goes to the White House, 'Chuckolytes' Hang on for the Ride.") Video below, with apologies for the editing skills, which are as almost as new as ...
