First 100 Days
Sunday, April 26, 2009 at 10:53AM The New York Times has had a running series on Obama's first 100 days. In today's Week in Review, they've included five short essays from leading historians comparing Obama's first 100 days to some of his predecessors.
It's an interesting read -- definitely worth a look. The most unusual: Roger Morris's Nixon-Obama thesis. Not for the obvious reason, just because it makes so little sense. For such a terrific writer and respected historian, it's pretty bizarre. He basically uses the First 100 Days platform to strangely analogize Nixon's appointments to Obama's. It's a very odd essay, IMHO.
Fear not, I'll be sharing my thoughts on Obama's first 100 days in the Star-Ledger on Wednesday.
