100th Day

On the Huffington Post, the overall blogging response was positive. Almost all of the bloggers, in some way, had President Obama's back and showed great support for the first 100 days he has already put in. Even Arianna Huffington, herself, had primarily positive things to say about the newly elected president but brought up a few of the mistakes made and faults committed by him, as well. She presented her positive and negative views of him in a pro/con list sort of format which was visually different from the other websites I looked at and put things into a better perspective. The Daily Beast was another website that held Obama in positive respects. Anna Marie Cox's main article, "God Loves Obama", similarly backed Huffinton's question, has it really already been 100 days? However, compared to Huffinton's article, Cox was much for casual with her jokes and wrote her article with more sarcasm than anything else. Bloggers that followed her article wrote similar, uplifting comments to those on the Huffington Post Blog. Here and there, there were a few downers (usually Republicans) who would completely throw the positive vibe off, but for the most part, bloggers were using pride and praise to describe his past 100 days.
