The Obameter

by noseycow

An American newspaper has taken up the challenge laid down by President Obama, that he be held accountable for his actions as President.

 Politifact has combed his campaign speeches, his websites and pre election interviews and found just over 500 promises that he has made.

So having been president for around 28 hours, how’s he doing?

But has he got a Dog for his daughters?

At one point yesterday as he got into the ‘car’ he started chewing what I assume was nicotine gum, the irony of the situation must have occurred to him. Here he was the worlds most powerful man, and he couldn’t light up a ciggy after his lunch!

God Bless America!

Tomorrow Tomorrow…

by noseycow

The official events to mark the inauguration of President Barack Obama start today, with the swearing in ceremony scheduled for 10am tomorrow morning. It surely must be the most significant inauguration in history.

Tomorrow we will, for a short time, be able to forget about all the troubles in the world,  join in as America celebrates the start of its 44th Presidents first term in office, and reflect on the HOPE that this one man gives us.

Redistribution of Wealth?

by noseycow

Yesterday the IMF predicted that Central America would avoid recession despite its strong ties to the US. Will the day soon come when Nicaragua grants aid to Washington?

And so the world turns
