Barack Obama Saves Print Media

Well he saved it for a month or two anyway. The day after the election the dead tree editions of many newspapers nationwide quickly sold out due to the number of people looking for a memento of the historic occasion. The NYT quickly began reprinting the cover page and selling it on their website for $15 a pop. He wasn’t so bad for magazines either. (Pic via Gawker)

We need a change to the Constitution that allows for a referendom on the quality of an administration after the first year.
It would allow a choice. Pick one in each section.
The President is doing a great job, lets keep him……………….___
Oh crap, what have we done. We need a do over………………..___

Congress is doing a great job, Let’s keep them as is…………___
Who elected those morons? Let’s switch party’s in
every district, nationwide. Let’s hold a lottery, any adult
citizen can buy a ticket (max 5 tickets per adult)…………………..___

9 Months… and what has been accomplished. A dead fly, beer, and a failed attack on FNC. A few good speeches, an (admittedly) undeserved award, and some legislation that probably won’t make it to law.

Woo-hoo????

Well… Bush didn’t have the same kind of situation when he took office, now did he? No wars, no recession, etc. Additionally, by this time, 9-11 had already happened, and we were in Afghanistan… Bush’s approval numbers were way high.

But more importantly… does it matter? I thought Obama was elected to be BETTER than Bush… not to be equal to? Why would you want to compare them, to show how parallel they are? What does that prove?

Is it 2012 yet?
