During The Great Depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt passed the New Deal legislation, doing so without any Congressional obstructions, hence the 100-day benchmark was established.
We are now in a more complex world than in the 1940s, so why does this “cave man” benchmark still exist? Here is a little clue. Liberals, who cannot wait to express their displeasure, use this 100-day measure of a president’s success. Well, if President Trump had the same free reign as FDR he would have been successful. But no, the liberal Democrats in Congress would never consider this to move this country forward. They will never admit that Obamacare needs fixing. So they and the biased media bring up the 100 days.
President Obama reportedly stated that the 100-days measure of success should be, more appropriately, 1,000 days.
Letter writers to The Columbian, incensed that Democrats lost the election, voice their hate and vicious attacks on Trump. Where are the conservative counterpoints?
