From today's Times:

“If I were writing about George H. W. Bush, I don’t think I’d spend two seconds on his first 100 days; I’d say the same thing about Nixon,” said Michael Beschloss, the presidential historian. “But in this case, if you’re imagining a future historian in a distant moment looking back on an Obama presidency, it’s very hard to imagine where what he’s doing for the first three months does not loom very large.”
