President Obama 100 days Deep
I just read this article on Obama’s First 100 days in office.
First of all, the old adage time really flies applies here because I would have bet my new 7 jeans that we JUST swore President Obama in last week, but as usual, time has gotten away from me and already he has been in office for 100 days. I saw an article today on msn that made me laugh and I just had to share with you and put in in terms of my own perspective. They were posing the question – What do you think of his job given the first 100 days ? Bascially they were asking for an evaluation of his performance. While I am not particularly protective (or in love) with Obama, I couldn’t help but think – are they kidding!? How could anyone be evaluated on anything they have been doing for only 100 days?
I thought about how I would have faired if my job as a mother, was evaluated based on the first 100 days. At 100 days I was still wearing pajamas everyday (and probably the same ones for days at a time), I had left the phone in the fridge for a solid week and couldn’t figure out why no one was calling, and cried, as much if not more than the baby. These days…THOUSANDS of days, not 100 days later, I actually use wear make up most days, I not only know where my house phone is, but use my blackberry to text people and email, and feel pretty much in control of my life for at least a solid 15 minutes a day. (Hey I didn’t become PERFECT, just a little more capable.)
So honestly, do I think President Obama will be the savior of our country, the Kennedy-like God send everyone thinks so? Maybe. But at this point I am pretty confident that he is still crying in his Lucky Charms, wearing fuzzy sleepers, and has a very chilled telephone…and really NO ONE should be critisized when they are only 100 days into anything.

You have some good points here. However, I think the presidency is a bit different from being a first time mother. These people are groomed for office supposedly for years before they are elected. I cannot say in all fairness that anyone prepared me for motherhood or that I had ANY experience with children before I had my first. So, it’s a bit different, girlfriend. I HOPE that the president has more experience that a first time mother or we are all in trouble!!!!!
