Eisenhower

Also, don't forget that Harry S Truman desegregated the military in an election year....in an especially tough one with Dewey.

I happen to be a very big HST fan. IMO, he is the last great Democrat in office. I've toured his vacation home in Key West; it was awesome.

I also find it funny that his name comes up in this Eisenhower thread. HST hated Dwight. Apparently, Dwight wouldn't have the customary tea at his (Dwight's) inaguration or something of that nature. They also had words in the vehicle on the way to the inaguration.

Truman has some wonderful quotes, too. He was an extremly funny character, and I'd suggest to anyone who is interested in him to read a book titled: Plain Speaking: An Oral Biography of Harry S Truman. It's a series of interviews with Truman that are just incredible.

Dwight was an OK president. I'm not the biggest fan, but Truman happens to be my favorite, so I'm obviously biased :)

And my favorite quote:

"If they do not now accept our terms, they may expect a rain of ruin from the air the likes of which has never been seen on this earth."

You got really ancy telling me about spending $8 and going to Jefferson's home to learn something.

Here, let me Google more for you.

CLICK HERE FOR PROOF YOU ARE WRONG!

The personal yacht statement is too ludious to bother debating.

Link your sources about Truman being in the bottom 10.

Here, take a look. Truman, and another POTUS you rail against, Woodrow Wilson, are CONSISTENTLY ranked in the top 10 by those knowledgeable about such much matters.

See the chart at the bottom of the page.

Historical rankings of United States Presidents

Fact: You are wrong.

If he downs Woodrow Wilson, he isn't wrong.

Wilson was one of, if not the probably worst president America ever endured. We still are suffering from the legacy of Woodrow Wilson.

First he, like Clinton (who is a great admirer of Wilson) gained the office through the use of a third party candidate.

Wilson ran on a no war policy but involved us in WWI by collusion with Churchill in the Lusitania incident which was a violation of the neutrality act and an act of war by Wilson.

Wilson was instrumental in helping the Bolsheviks overthrow the Tzarist government in favor of a communist regime and we all know how badly that has gone.

Wilson set back race relations and integration in the US by at least forty years by his segregation of all Federal offices and was a racist of the worst order in everything he said or did.

Wilson, by trickery and outright deceit brought about another internationally central banking system in the US from which we may never recover. In effect he made us a slave nation.

The Germans stopped their war effort on the promise that Wilson's fourteen point plan would be put into effect. Only one point was adopted, the formation of the League of Nations which was as ineffectual and corrupt as it's successor the United Nations.

As a matter of fact the top negotiator for the British walked out of the talks at Versailles saying; "this isn't a peace treaty, it's a contract for another war!"

Wilson spurned the advances of Ho Chi Minh, who sincerely wanted to be an ally of American and form a government pattered after the US Constitution, to help him throw off the yoke of French colonialism.

So Wilson was responsible to a large degree in our involvement in WWI, the Great Depression, WWII and Vietnam, as well as the Korean conflict.

Woodrow Wilson; "Reelect the man who will keep your sons out of the war."

FDR; "I say again and again and again that I will never send American boys to fight on foreign soil."


Two more terrible things to happen during the Wilson presidency, the fraudulent 16th amendment (income tax) and the creation of 'tax free foundations.'

Why would you say Reagan was a sorry president??

I thought he was a very pleasant surprise.

You do realize if those on the right produced a similar picture of Obama you would be condemning them as racist and us as rednecks for posting it.
