Commentary: New President's 100 Days of Pressure
This October 2008 article discusses how "[w]hen presidents enter the White House, they have approximately 100 days to show what they are made of. The notion of a 'hundred days' is an artificial creation of Franklin Roosevelt after he became president in 1932 in the Great Depression. But it has become a benchmark for evaluating the early success of a president." Describes and compares FDR's and Lyndon Johnson's early days. From CNN.
