Obama's First 100 Days?--Shut Up!
Carlisle, Pa.
Let him alone already! Maybe he'll need 165 days, maybe even 278. This mindless 100-day watch has to end [Tony Badger, "FDR's 100 Days... and Obama's," Jan. 26]. Surely the sophisticated editorial board of The Nation can recognize that stuffing a jaunty cigarette holder in the mouth of Obama-cum-FDR does not change the facts: FDR was unique; 1933 is gone. Just because some keen wits managed to package much of FDR's doings in a neat 100-day bundle should not have put such a time burden on Harry or Dwight or John or Lyndon or... you get my drift.
