that hopey changey thing?
National Journal: “If the economy produces jobs over the next eight months at the same pace as it did over the past four months, the nation will have created more jobs in 2010 alone than it did over the entire eight years of George W. Bush’s presidency.”

bo hits chi-town!
Bo, the Obama family dog, is escorted off Air Force One at O’Hare Airport as the first family arrives home to spend the Memorial Day weekend in Chicago
ABC: Bo, it seems, likes the press. The Obama’s black Portuguese Water Dog was aboard Air Force One with the First Family this afternoon, making his maiden journey to the Windy City, when he made a break for the back of the plane where the press sit.
And Bo wasn’t alone. He brought with him the president, who only makes rare appearances in the press cabin.
It was unclear whose presence caused a greater stir, the dog or the master. A stunned press pool was described as “cooing” at the sight of Bo.
Told about a preflight altercation — described as a “barking match” — between Bo and a Secret Service K9 at Andrews Air Force Base, Obama replied, “I didn’t want him getting into it with the Secret Service. I’ve seen them training.”
