How long was Obama in Office before members of Congress started calling for Impeachment?

Was there more impeachment talk in Obama's 8 years or Trump's first 100 days?

True, but the confounding variable here is that Obama was a relative unknown before becoming president (which was a strike against him), while Trump has already spent decades acting like a horse's patoot, being accused of a litany of misdeeds, and generally not being very trustworthy.

Trump has built quite the empire on making sure everyone knows who he is so I don't think it's too unreasonable for people to jump to conclusions about the guy based on a mere 100 days in office when he spent 30 years or so showing us the person he is (or presents himself as).  That's marketing for ya.

It's like handing someone a copy of some obscure CD your friend's band made last month along with a copy of Sgt. Pepper and asking the person to listen to both as if they're equally new and unknown.  I wouldn't accuse him of having a closed-mind if he admitted that the saturation of the Beatles made him confident enough to make judgement before giving both a "fair shot."

Short version - Trump very intentionally made sure everyone knew the man he is long before he became president.  Assuming a new office doesn't expunge your prior record, for good or ill.
