Editors at large are chattering about the official White House photo of Obama working on what appears to be his address about health-care reform to a Joint Session of Congress last September from here to here to here to here. It’s sort of delightful really to get a closeup of the details to see all the edits directly.
That kind of a heavily marked-up page should be a familiar sight for any writer.

The NYT’s description of Obama’s first full day as president notes that when Obama reached the Resolute Desk this morning he found the continuation of an old tradition:
He read the note left behind by George W. Bush, which was sitting in a folder on top of the desk, with a note marked “44.” Mr. Obama was in the office alone for a brief time, aides said, starting his day after a late night celebrating and dancing at inaugural balls across Washington.
It’s touching that even Obama gets a nickname (“44”) from outgoing President Bush. I’m going to miss him.
So says Joe Biden. Real classy.

This tax cut plan is really interesting. Under Obama’s plan, Ashley and I would get more than three times as much money back. Even our parents’ taxes would receive a slightly larger cut.
Still, if I was a millionaire, I know who I’d be a-votin’ for.

This one drives me crazy. Call Obama what you want, but the man is not an elitist.
