Obama's Been President for Just Over a Month; Are You Better Off Now Than You Were Four Weeks Ago?

So Slublog asked in the sidebar.

JeffD sends this quote from The Jerk along, which I kinda think is funny.

Navin R. Johnson: I know we've only known each other four weeks and three days, but to me it seems like nine weeks and five days. The first day seemed like a week and the second day seemed like five days. And the third day seemed like a week again and the fourth day seemed like eight days. And the fifth day you went to see your mother and that seemed just like a day, and then you came back and later on the sixth day, in the evening, when we saw each other, that started seeming like two days, so in the evening it seemed like two days spilling over into the next day and that started seeming like four days, so at the end of the sixth day on into the seventh day, it seemed like a total of five days. And the sixth day seemed like a week and a half. I have it written down, but I can show it to you tomorrow if you want to see it.

I'm pretty sure Chris Matthews has a similar calculation.

So, nine weeks and five days.

This is going to be a longer four years than I anticipated. I suppose that's good. I'm not in a hurry to age lately.

O-BINGO: Might as well make a game of the speech.

Thanks to AndrewM.
