BARACK OBAMA'S FIRST HUNDRED DAYS

Day 19 - February 7, 2009

Several Democratic congressmen threatened to have White House motor pool funds cut off after President Obama agreed to go to Fox News and be interviewed by Bill O'Reilly.

Arianna Huffington announced she was giving up on Obama.  Obama is the 18th man she's given up on.

The president, worried about attacks from his traditional leftist base, announced a Susan Sarandon appreciation day. 

Hillary Clinton caused bedlam among the White House staff when she revealed that she'd left a hidden treasure when she left the place.  Hearing this, Bill Clinton panicked and said he'd left something hidden as well, but refused to say who she was.

Under pressure from the president, the Justice Department granted a general amnesty to all residents of Chicago.

Informed sources at the White House revealed that Mr. Obama's Iraq withdrawal plan has now been finalized.  Three troops will come out in February, and two more in March.  After that, the sources said, the president would evaluate the impact of the withdrawals.
