The White House on Flickr

This week the Obama Administration released it's official Flickr channel. The pictures are a window into this Administration's first 100 days. Not only do they represent the White House's commitment to embrace social media but also it's fulfillment of promising transparency to the American public. Some of my favorites are below.

But first, while on the subject of the President's first 100 days...let us look back at what Mr. Bush (aka the War President) was able to accomplish during his first 100 days...that of course was when Mr. Bush wasn't taking the record for the most vacations of any US president in history.

In President Bush's first 100 days in office he:
-Refused to help consumers harmed by the Western electricity crisis.
-Opposed comprehensive protections for patients in HMOs.
-Proposed large budget cuts and misguided plans for health care.
-Refused to provide adequate funding for low-income energy assistance.
-Decided to allow cable TV and telephone monopolies to expand.
-Endorsed a bankruptcy bill that excessively punished honest consumers hit by unexpected debts.
-Proposed killing a program to help low-income consumers who cannot afford to open bank accounts.

Change Is Here.
