Nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days, not in the life of this administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. From legalizing the sale of beer to providing mortgage relief to millions of Americans, Roosevelt launched the New Deal that conservatives have been working to roll back ever since. FDR: The First Hundred Days Audio CD Unabridged, Februby Anthony J. When President John Fitzgerald Kennedy laid out his agenda in 1961, his plea for patience reflected heightened public expectations established by FDR: All this will not be finished in the first 100 days. All this will not be finished in the first 100 days, he famously said in his Inaugural Address. From March 9 to June 16, FDR secured sixteen major bills, many of which gave extraordinary discretionary power to the president. FDR’s Hundred Day phenomenon arose out of an almost unique political moment. The concept of grading the president’s first 100 days was born of the Great Depression, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt knew just what he’d have to do to win the White House. Roosevelt entered the White House in 1933 confronting 25 percent unemployment, bank closings, and a nationwide crisis in confidence. Badger cuts through decades of politicized history to provide a succinct, balanced, and timely reminder that Roosevelt's accomplishment was above all else an exercise in exceptional political craftsmanship.

The Hundred Days, Franklin Roosevelt's first fifteen weeks in office, have become the stuff of legend, a mythic yardstick against which every subsequent American president has felt obliged to measure himself.
