FDR is totally a thug, he tried to make the Supreme Court an offer it couldn’t refuse.
Source for FDR being a thug: Included picture. And thug as in “thug life”, of course. The good, slang, kind of thug. I’d say “baddass”, but it’s not good to cuss in my posts.
FDR – a thug??? Where’s your proof for this dastardly accusation????
Where did you obtain the information concerning Napoleon? Did you just relate the two, what is your proof?

Napoleon: Awesome-looking on a horse AND an indirect scourge precedent for all presidents to come.
This coincidentally round number became a stellar catchprase for FDR’s actions in 1933. After FDR’s standard of 100 days caught on, and FDR became even more of a meter-stick for every future president, every president — including Obama — has been measured by this really round and arbitrary 100 days.
Contained within those 20km: A ferocious Napoelon-eating sea monster.
However impressive FDR’s 100 Days were, that concept also had an origin. The original original Hundred Days actually dates back to 1815, which was the famous interval that Napoleon escaped from his exile on the quaint little island of Elba, when he tried to re-rally the French Army and the nationalism spirit and went on a Napoleonic rampage until his defeat at Waterloo. (Apparently the island is not well gaurded except for the light twenty kilometer swim.)
While he was secretly in a wheelchair, he was not so secretly a thug.
Also, while not smashing the current limits of presidential power with his left fist and smashing the knowledge of constitutionality with his right fist (and still making America better off for it), FDR also had an unprecedented bank holiday, departed from the gold standard that Andrew Jackson really liked, and also created sweepingly powerful federal departments like the Federal Deposit Insurance Corportation (FDIC) you see in all the banks. He also even went as far as to chat beside a fireplace, except you couldn’t see the fireplace because he was on a silly radio. He established more precedents than there were previous presidents, enough to make Washington’s Farewell Address look like a mere three suggestions.
Most people assume that the answer dates way back to Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his blitz with the New Deal — which was kicked off with a highly publized stint of 100 days of aggressive lawmaking. FDR’s 100 days were extremely astonishing at the time — he went everywhere from banking reform to the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA), and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC); he seemingly had an end goal of having an act for every three and four letter combination of the alphabet. (Hint: That would require 474,552 pieces of legislation.)
But the real question for today is why do we care about the first 100 days?
Today is Obama’s 100th Day in office. Obama certainly has done some very impressive things while being a very impressive president in office. Wikipedia has actually taken it upon themselves (gotta love them) to document .
