If only the president had friended us earlier! Slate hilariously captures Obama's first 100 days in office as imagined through the ubiquitous social networking site's news feed. It begins with the status update "Barack Obama is taking the oath of office" and continues to include news items on other key political players. Michael Steele, who was elected president of the RNC, creates the group "R to the N to the C" while early on Rahm Emanuel "updated his Education and Work Info to Undersecretary of Go F--- Yourself," and partway through the feed, "5 million people updated their Education and Work info to Unemployed." Later on, Dick Cheney even creates the group "Barack Obama: Enemy Combatant," and Sasha and Malia add the Dogbook application.
