Obama’s First 100 Days: A Mixed Record   April 27, 2009 Ivan Eland Attention always focuses on a president’s first 100 days. The media—and the rest of Washington—correctly realize that historically a president’s power is at its zenith during the honeymoon period following his inauguration to a first term.
