Mad Magazine knows exactly how Barack Obama will spend his first moments as President of the United States, and their artists have created an illustrated timeline of the Obama presidency’s nascent moments. ‘The First 100 Minutes of the Obama Presidency’ was shared exclusively with Comedy Central’s Indecision 2008, and it pokes fun at [politicians from both sides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kamala-harris-call-her-daddy) of the aisle and [pop culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-daily-snoo) as only Mad Magazine can.

You can see the timeline of Obama’s first 100 minutes as president in its entirety at the link below, but I’ve sliced up some bite-sized highlights for you to enjoy in the meantime. My favorite of the bunch are minutes 81-82: “Get Michelle to ditch [J. Crew](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-new-yorker-x-j-crew) and start dressing more like Beyonce.”
