Obama's 100th Day

Many of the "A-List" blogs that I looked at concerning Obama's 100th Day in office had slide shows or at least pictures of Obama looking heroic and almost godly.  The Huffington Post's coverage of the first 100 days was in the form of bloggers saying what they thought about what Obama has accomplished thus far.  What I noticed right away were the kinds of people who were commenting.  It was not obamafan29, or some other anonymous character, but instead the bloggers were people like Madeline Albright and Robert Kuttner.  This makes the site seem more "A-List" because these are people whose opinions are more likely to matter than an anonymous blogger throwing in his two cents.

The Politico blog entitled their story, "Questions for Obama on his 100th Day," a different take on the event.  The story is laid out in question and answer format, similar to something that a mainstream news source might choose to do as well.  I found this to be very informative and I hardly felt like I was reading a blog at all.  I think that these websites do a good job of portraying their information in a clear manner that is well written and accessible, all qualities that Shirky would agree gain them popularity.
