I saw an inter­est­ing arti­cle today in GOOD magazine’s blog. It’s actu­ally a lit­tle old (from last Novem­ber), but very inter­est­ing. The chart high­lights the first 100 days in office of every Pres­i­dent back to FDR. That’s sup­posed to be the “hon­ey­moon period” where Con­gress and the press basi­cally give the Pres­i­dent pretty much what­ever he wants.

In Pres­i­dent Bush’s first hun­dred days, he made the world kill more babies, made the US armed forces more hos­tile, and defended his posi­tion on mak­ing the world more pol­luted.

And in his final days, Pres­i­dent Bush (or at least his staff) spite­fully refused the Obama fam­ily res­i­dence at the Blair House. Classy to the end! Well, at least he kept one cam­paign promise — “You may not agree with me, but you know where I stand.”
