WASHINGTON D.C. -- As President Hillary Rodham Clinton completes the first 100 days of her young if eventful presidency, on Wednesday, Gallup released new poll showing that 91 percent of Americans saying they "strongly approve" of her job performance so far.

Other remarkable results: 92 percent of Americans agreed with the statement: "We elected the right person president, THANK GOD!" and 99 percent of respondents strongly agreed with the statement, "Clinton's election is continued proof that American democracy is thriving."

"She's unbelievably popular. We've never seen numbers like this," said Gallup CEO Jim Clifton.

In further evidence of Clinton's popularity, all across America, citizens threw parties to commemorate Clinton's swearing in, with thousands of Americans telling pollsters they have "never been less afraid of nuclear war," according to the New York Times.

For Clinton's White House, Gallup's findings place a joyous exclamation point at the end of an already triumphant chapter characterized by impressive if hard-fought legislative accomplishments.

In just over three months, Clinton has succeeded in raising the federal minimum wage to $12, ending college debt, shutting down the Dakota Pipeline, raising taxes on the wealthy, appointing former president Barack Obama to the Supreme Court, instating a no-fly zone above Syria, declaring America a "sanctuary nation," mandating paid parental leave, making public bathrooms gender neutral, welcoming hundreds of Syrian refugees to America, doubling the State Department's budget, celebrating science in schools, and strengthening the Voting Rights Act.

Her pursuit of sweeping Wall Street reforms surprised progressives, and after more than 30 years, her signature universal health care plan, Hillarycare, is at last poised to become law.

Just months ago, historians were debating whether Clinton's presidency could make it into the "all time top five." Now, they're saying she's guaranteed a spot in the top three: "FDR, Lincoln, and Lyndon B. Johnson better watch out. She is coming for them," said Yale University's David Blight in an email.

Clinton's cabinet is the most diverse and knowledgeable in history, and American Muslims are attributing declining expressions of Islamophobia to Clinton's decision to select longtime aide Huma Abedin as her White House Chief of Staff.

What's next for the president? According to White House Press Secretary Leslie Jones, Clinton can't wait to see Kate McKinnon perform at this year's White House Correspondents Dinner.

As much as I disagree with Trump at this point, it could have been MUCH worse with that shameless Marxist-Leninist harridan polluting the Oval Office with her stench of corruption and evil.

Yeah, alot of us agree that it could have been MUCH worse.

Many pulled that lever just to get the satifaction of putting that worthless old cow out to pasture along with her far flung gang of treacherous associates.

But from now on, I am simply going to expect ruthless fraud and deception from virtually anyone listed on a ballot.

I say ruthless - as ruthless means "without regret." All these bastards folks vote for are backstabbers who slip in the knife without any pang of conscience once sworn into office.

This political parody actually has fact of history as a basis, perhaps some Americans were too young or simply have "forgotten".

Honestly comparing the two, one a real life occurrence, the other subtle brain washing of this parody.

American voters were as one, en masse, in love with above Johnson. He received HIGHEST POPULAR VOTE percentage in the history of this country.

Enlightened voters, 65 per cent, voted Johnson.

The rest is unread history, forgotten by Americans that desire instant gratification.

FDR

And people forget how FDR gave "banking holiday" and forced people to turn in their gold for $20/oz, and then immediately revalued it to $35/oz.

Also, people forget the treachery of Woodrow Wilson when he fooled us all and gave us the Federal Reserve System which has effectively robbed the people of their wealth over the years since its founding.

If you search online you will see that the Dollar has lost from 92% to 98% of its value. ;)

American voters display a naivete,gullibility, childishness that defies comprehension.

They want their all day sucker RIGHT NOW, or they will whine, snivel and wet themselves.

American voters . . . want their all day sucker RIGHT NOW, or they will whine, snivel and wet themselves.

Regarding the results of the 1964 election you mention, it seems that what they really want is an ass to lick.

There never was a bigger ass on a ticket. ;)

The 80 million non voters are after all perhaps the only winners, as they can honestly say at the end of the day, ""screw all of you""".

In 1944, FDR did not even campaign, won in a landslide, so much for voter intelligence. Half a million American boys died.

Johnson won by biggest percentage ever, 40,000 boys died.

Now Clinton easily wins popular vote, but Founding Fathers long ago foresaw the fact that one day, there would need to be a MINORITY President....FOR SOME REASON...

Sixty years ago, I read Madisons two volumes, written from notes he took during writing of Constitution.

From that I suspect I might now understand why the need of minority government and what Trump may do to correct the downward spiral of this country.

ANYONE HAZARD A GUESS AS TO WHAT TRUMP MAY BE FORCED TO DO????????

Martial law, suspension of liberties, mass arrests?

A+...

You are in right Church.

Rethink it as Fathers may have considered it, not as something horrible, rather as something needed to reorient the country and actually save the Constitution.

The Founding Fathers did indeed see the need to stop the process in any instance where the tail was wagging the dog.

Such is here.

Trump may well...suspend the constitution for a year...

It will not be via choice, rather, BECAUSE OF THE MASSES FALLING INTO LINE WITH THE RULING ELITE...

The Founding Fathers were not stupid, their major error was in rejecting term limits. Now they have given us a method of correcting that, peacefully if the masses understand, by force if necessary.

I'm not sure how you got from Madison and the electoral college to martial law.

Madison originally opposed the electoral college and was forced to accept it as a compromise. The EC figured heavily in Constitutional Convention debates and highlighted the differing interests of small states vs large states and free labor states vs slave holding states. In any case prior to the 12th Amendment the electoral college functioned differently than it does today, and as it originally functioned with a runner up VP gave the country the Adams/Jefferson mismatch in 1796 and the EC deadlock in 1800.

It wasn't until 1860 that we got a president who came the closest declaring "martial law" in suspending the privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus. Lincoln by the way won in an electoral and popular landslide.

If President Trump declares martial law, I don't believe that it will have anything to do with the electoral or popular votes that carried him to office. It will be because we are in a world of shit for some reason. Although I cannot envision the particular circumstances that would bring such a presumption of powers about, it's not beyond imagining - given the storm clouds on the horizon.

Here is what Hamilton thought about the electoral college at the time, so long ago.

"""Hamilton and the other founders believed that the electors would be able to insure that only a qualified person becomes President."""" They believed that with the Electoral College no one would be able to..... manipulate..... the citizenry. """It would act as check on an electorate that might be duped.""" Hamilton and the other founders did not trust the population to make the right choice. The founders also believed that the Electoral College had the advantage of being a group that met only once and thus could not be manipulated over time by foreign governments or others.

The masses here and elsewhere have proven themselves as duped.

Notwithstanding, some of us are concerned about "others" installed in-house that are manipulating the current chief executive.

I think just about everybody on this board knows exactly what I mean.

I full well know the attitude of the majority here on 4um.

I also recall in 1960 when JFK brought his brother, brother in law, plus other family members into the government, the electorate thought that was tremendous, how blessed we were.

In came titans of banks, industry and academia, how wonderful all of that was for the country.

Olde saw, a sitting President trusts NO ONE other than blood.

The Kennedys went down the wrong path and paid, Trump was not and is not a politician, owes no one. Very dangerous for those that were happy with the Bushes, Clintons, Obama etc.

Want to see how safe the backroom boys and media running dogs are playing it???? Show me one major media condemning Trumps posture with North Korea????? Why is that???

Naive and gullible voters have not the courage of their own convictions.
