BARACK OBAMA'S FIRST HUNDRED DAYS

Day 24 - February 12,  2009

President Obama awoke early to commemorate the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln by freeing the Clintons.

The President cancelled plans to deliver a speech while standing on Lincoln's head on Mount Rushmore.  Instead, he went to the Lincoln Memorial and sat in Lincoln's chair, after pushing Lincoln off.

In his speech from the chair, the president said this country cannot exist half male and half female.

The president also said his great goal is to preserve the teacher's union.

Noting that this was the same place from which Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I have a dream" speech, Mr. Obama said he also had a dream, but wanted to test it out with focus groups before making it public.

The president next flew to Gettysburg to deliver a modern version of the Gettysburg Address.  He rejected criticism that the new ending, "of me, by me, for me," missed the spirit of the occasion.

The president said he enjoyed having a beard and wearing the big hat.

Mr. Obama will be at Ford's Theater tonight.  He rejected criticism that the performance by the rapper Fifty Cent missed the spirit of the occasion.
