The Day After The Day After The Day After

It may be 72 hours late, but a follow up on the 'Inauguration post' is needed!

Coffee cups in Washington D.C after the Inauguration

For those of you keen beans who watched it on Channel Nine, I'm sure you saw the 2 million PLUS crowd that gathered to see Obama. You probably also saw him stumble with his 35 word oath. "I, Barack Obama do sole- I, BARACK OBA- oops!" NO MATTER! He took it again! Better safe than sorry, eh? Motto of the White House!

Anyways, Louis Tiffon had her doubts (or, more like her father did). But only a few days after becoming POTUS Obama has given an executive order to close Guantanamo Bay (within 12 months!) and told the CIA to stop torture of terror suspects, yo, 'cause it sucks (in those words precisely).

Yea, Obama! Sign it!

With Bush, it was one step forward, two steps back. With Obama WHO KNOWS? One leap forward, no looking back! (Except in times of quiet contemplation and when in need of feedback)

You would probably have to live under a rock - literally - to not know what the 20th January 2009 brings for the US and the rest of the free world.

Barack Hussein Obama II: some say he couldn't have had a less electable name... guess he proved them wrong. And tomorrow, he is going to be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America (POTUS for short).

Whether it's his suave and savvy political speeches that grab you or simply his undoubtedly amazing rise to Presidency after being just a junior Senator in Illinois - he's got the world in a fervour.

He is reported to have sold over 3 times as much crazy, kooky memorabilia than the previous record-holder, Bill Clinton. The picture above is part of 10 000 collecters edition posters which sell for US$100 each and signed copies go for US$500.

No doubt everyone wants a little piece of Obama, so this post wouldn't be complete without a few tokens of Obama-memorabilia itself.

Perhaps a bit belated, but the truth of it speaks out all the same:

(it says 'Let issues be the issue')

To unity, freedom and hope,

PS. On a totally unrelated issue, George W. Bush's IQ is reported to be 125. Apparently 95% of the world's population has an IQ of under 124.67. Below 80 is basically dumb, 100 is average, 140 and above is Stephen Hawking-Einstein freakin genius. So Bush's 125 indicates he has 'superior intelligence'. What a load... I'll never trust those IQ scams ever again!

PPS. Apparently Stephen Hawking isn't genius. He has is own level of IQ-dom. I Googled his IQ and some said 280 (what?!) and others 220 (hmm...). WOW! Einstein had an IQ of 161. Looks lame in comparison.

PPPS. This IQ thing is really addictive. Hitler - 141, Andy Warhol - 86, The Govinator - 135, Bill Gates - 160, Hilary Clinton - 140, Da Vinci - 220, Madonna - 140, Nicole Kidman - 132, Sharon Stone - 154 (WHAT?), Mozart - 165. I can keep going.... I wonder what Obama's IQ is?

PPPPS. Just Googled it. They say it's in the range of 130-148.

But these are all just estimates.
