For a month now we have called Barack Obama president and the baby milestone was marked in different ways by different folks. But my favorite is CBS’s Mark Knoller, who serves it up by the numbers.
Update:
Reader Dee points out that it might be fun to compare coverage of Obama’s first month with other presidents. I agree, so here we go: Clinton (chaos theory), Bush 41 (mixed performance), kind of (un)amazingly this was the only overview TIME did on Bush 43 in his first two months in office.
President Barack Obama is pressing for investments in infrastructure while relying on familiar tax increases on the wealthy and corporations to claim progress on the federal deficit in his upcoming budget.
Mitt Romney, the perpetually questioned front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, had a rough week. Three embarrassing losses to Rick Santorum in Tuesday’s non-binding contests led to questions about Romney’s conservative bona fides just in time for GOP activists, gathering at their annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, to collectively grumble about it. But in two narrow, largely symbolic victories on Saturday, Romney reclaimed the headlines. Never mind the details. He was winning again.
