100 Days: Rating the Media Takes on Presidents
The 100 days reports have some use, but even more problems
Updated on 04/27/09: An earlier version of this article contained the incorrect text.
It is as a measure of subsequent change that the 100-day benchmarks have significance: Successful presidents adjust and are able to learn from their mistakes and grow in office. Presidents who let early problems fester for four years rarely get four more to correct them.

100 day conclusion
Since President Obama's first 100 days in office has, as of Wednesday the 29th of April, resulted in a 3.4 trillion dollar budget being passed through Congress with a single party vote, his mandate is clear. If he doesn't succeed now, no party, past experiences or affiliations, education, or excuses will be taken into account. History and history alone will be his sole judge. Like it or not, the fact is Mr. Obama represents not only his party but his race, his heritage, and his people; the American people. History can be either straight forward and empathetic or as unforgiving as a storm in the North Sea.
He better be right! The honeymoon is over and Mr. Obama may find his new bride aint the Prom Queen he thought she was...LoL!
