Obama’s First 100 Days in Office: Politiku Recap

This set of Politikus is cross posted on the Huffington Post along with a short explanation of Politiku.

J Holtham’s Politiku

One hundred days in
FOX News bellows from rafters
But history wins

Puppies, bank bailouts,
Handshakes, iPods, Specter flips,
Nothing breaks his stride

After eight dumb years,
One hundred days of smart is
Like a springtime morn

When I get worried about
The world, I think, “Obama,”
And it’s all okay.


Irene Cullen Gravina’s Politiku

When Obama won
The world held its breath–and now
Begins to exhale

Jason Rosenbaum’s Politiku

One hundred days in
President Obama is
In deep, but not down.

Arlen Spector Dem./
Veto-proof majority/
Obama pwns Reps!

Jerome Coopersmith’s Politiku

One hundred days crossed.
Now Rush, Sean, Dick, Bill, Annie -
Admit it, you lost!

Hollie Overton’s Politiku

No more Texas bull
Obama is stepping up
Gotta keep the faith

Money woes abound
Bailouts just keep on coming
Change is all we have

Ralph Dannheisser’s Politiku

A hundred days in,
Obama impresses with
his grasp of the job.

Cedar Reiner’s Politiku

The Onion Headline
Black Man Given Country’s Worst Job
Seems to get more true

As time passes by.
Bush opened Pandoras Box
Obama shut it.

Now clean up the mess
Left by Florida’s ballots
with more than just hope.

Dan Keefe’s Politiku

they have a dog now
Dulled pen concedes to the sword
they like to garden

Karen Goldner’s Politiku

Not felt good in years
But Obama gives us
Adult in the room

A world in crisis
But somehow people have hope
It must be Barack.

Susanna Speier’s Politiku

Fly to Tokyo?
Seriously, the yen’s down!
Still can’t afford to

Logos wont fix this.
Will recovery dot gov?
Too early to tell

We bail their bonus.
A.I.G. is SO busted.
If they’re bust-a-ble…

Fed infuses more
One trillion is a large sum
Where does it come from?

Left handed batter
steps up to the plate. The pitch:
banks, pirates, swine flu…

The first hundred days
has flaws in its achievements
but no pants on fire

Elijah’s wine is
not yet in the arteries
brace for more job loss

Bitter herb recalls
when we were slaves in Egypt
chag sameach
