THE BRIEFING ROOM • THE BLOG
THE PRESIDENT'S BLOG: the first year in office
In a spirit of openness and transparency, President Obama sat down on his Inauguration Day and wrote his first post in "The President's Blog". He continued to write about some of his private trials and tribulations throughout his first year in office. Then, like most bloggers who don't realize just how difficult it is to keep it up, he stopped. Below are the blog posts from President Obama's historic First Year in Office:
Beware of Imposters
Recently, the existence of a fake White House website has come to my attention. You should visit that site so you can beware of the falsehoods. The spurious site can be found at http://whitehouse.gov.
Tweet Scrubber
Like many Americans, I enjoy going on Twitter to see what people are talking about. It's real-time and it's exciting. I have a secret Twitter account that lets me see what all Americans are tweeting. The only problem is that sometimes there is stuff flowing that I would rather not see.
A Giant Leap Back
For more than a half-century, NASA has explored our final frontier and transformed humankind’s understanding of our planet and its place in the universe. Well, no more.
My Royal Norwegian Snub
I can't seem to cut a break these days. First my approval rating slips to an all-time low and now the Norwegians are mad at me for snubbing their King. What did they expect?
The Third Party Crasher
The Secret Service's investigation into the security events surrounding the Indian State Dinner on November 24, 2009, has revealed that a third individual, who was not on the White House guest list, entered the State Dinner.
Who Let in the Party Crashers?
Regarding the Virginia couple that crashed the State Dinner the other night: I ordered a full-scale investigation on how the couple obtained access to the White House. The results are in.
Shop America
Today is Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year. What our ailing economy needs right now is for all Americans to shop 'til they drop.
No Turkey Pardon
It's a Presidential tradition to pardon a turkey every Thanksgiving. As decisions go, this one is usually a no-brainer.
Aloha APEC
It's great to be home from my triumphant four country Asian tour. One of the highlights of my trip was attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Singapore.
