Let’s face it, 100 days is an artificial marker. It’s a Hallmark date, created out of whole cloth, much like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Valentine’s Day.
JFK said 1,000 days was a more accurate barometer, and Obama agrees. Sadly, 1,000 days is all we had of the John Fitzgerald Kennedy presidency. Hopefully, our new president will have much more time than that; and, hopefully, a more accurate reading after a more reasonable amount of time will wash away some of the cynicism which his detractors are presently using as oxygen. But I’m not holding my breath.
