New kind of president revealed
By Mike Feinsilber
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Clinton reaches his 100th day in office today amid a lively debate over what he has to show for it, where he's headed — and what kind of president he is.
He leads an all-over-the-lot, let a thousand-flowers-bloom administration, full of beans and running on adrenaline.
He says he's "doing fine," but also, ruefully, "You can't expect instant results."
He says that he's been "banged around" and may have "overextended myself," that he's got to start over again, "focus on big things."
Republicans are harsher, but divided. Some say the "different kind of Democrat" has turned out to be just another tax-and-spend liberal, an ideological kin to Lyndon Johnson. Others says he is more like Jimmy Carter, whom they belittle as an ineffective

outsider.
"He is on a roll of breaking promises," says Rep. Henry Hydre of Illinois. John Danforth of Missouri sees Clinton as "arrogant" in dealing with Congress and "ambivalent" in dealing with the bloodshed in Bosnia.
For all that, the record is not empty. Clinton has been a different kind of president, and the country is just getting used to him.
He broke ground by giving his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, real work; the intricate job of reinventing the medical care system, a matter of interest to every American, sick or well.
He gave his vice president real work, too, putting Al Gore in charge of eliminating government waste and making government innovative.
And Clinton gave work to people not usually found in high office. He gave
the country its first Cabinet in which white males constitute a minority.
He has been extraordinarily cautious in foreign affairs. On Bosnia and Haiti, he retained policies that he decried as a candidate as unfair and unfeeling.
Still, he parachuted food to starving Bosnians and is now deciding whether to bomb their ancient enemies, the Serbs.
Clinton finds himself in need of courting the support of the military, something that came automatically to previous presidents. He antagonized the military by proposing to drop the ban on homosexuals in uniform and, to his chagrin, allowed that issue to dominate his opening days.
Even if his reach exceeded his grasp, Clinton did win congressional approval of a budget plan to reverse
He was elected to "grow" the economy and "reinvent" the government, but he got sidetracked, something he said would not happen.
the path toward ever bigger deficits. He reversed the government's abortion policy — doing with the stroke of a pen what Democratic majorities in Congress were unable to do in 12 years.
He had the bad fortune of having the lethal assault on a cull's fortress in Waco, Texas, on his watch — and the good fortune to be given a Supreme Court retirement and a chance to put a lasting mark on that institution.
Clinton has brought a new style to Washington — along with a battalion of Rhodes scholars and aides so young that they've taken to calling the Old Executive Office Building "the Young Executive Office Building."
Historian Alan Brinkley says Clinton has the gregariousness and political instincts of a Lyndon Johnson and the vision of a Franklin Roosevelt. Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. considers Clinton "articulate, euilent, untiring and, thus far, rather endearing."
