The White House released a photostream of President Obama’s first 100 days in office. It’s a delight to see images of the President both at home in his job–and, in some of the photos, seemingly in awe.
The photos include everything from meeting with Secretary Gaithner (one can only assume they’re trying to unravel the knots) to greeting everyday visitors inside the White House to glimpses of his love for his family and the First Lady.
Interestingly enough, alongside the photos of the Cabinet meetings and press conferences, there’s photos of the women and men who cook in the White House kitchen, who polish the White House floors, and who open the grand double doors for President Obama to walk through.
One can’t help but feel a bit optimistic at our President’s youthfulness and energy.

I’m over-the-top with glee at the election of our next President, Barack Obama. My students were abuzz today, the sun was shining on Chestnut Hill, and even all the parking tickets that I owe the City of Boston seemed to recede from my mind (well, not completely, but I’m trying to sustain the feeling of hope).
I must admit that I got a bit teary-eyed at Obama’s acceptance speech last night in Bryant Park. The scope of his remarks, his nod to history and the relevance of the American Dream, all resonated.
One thing, however, disturbed me last night. Have you seen this footage–via hologram–of Will.i.am being interviewed by the ever-intelligent and dashing Anderson Cooper? It’s Rock Star meets Star Wars. Kinda cool and kinda disturbing at the same time.
