and try learning history
start at seeing the movie Lincoln.
Lincoln=FDR=LBJ=CARTER=OBAMA
I would take out the other presidents listed in OP, personally, maybe put Washington in a little lower down
Eisenhower was a joke, like Reagan, not smart at all, a nice guy perhaps, but whatever.
Jefferson was a fraud. He is credited with the Declaration (all men are created equal) of course he owned slaves, abused people and was a major hypocrite, though he attempted to atone like Lee Atwater near the end). But he was what he was.
All are created equal. Women, and blacks and everybody
Not just Men. Sorry TJ.
and only if one has a wedge issue, does one not see the historic movement
As Bing Crosby said in "White Christmas" everybody has an angle.
And the ones that don't see it, do too.
Again, watch LIncoln.
America was built on COMPROMISE to get the forward movement.
America was not built on 100% or nothing
10% ofsomething is a helleva lot better than 100% of nothing
and you will never see another president as good as Obama in any of our lifetimes, though Hillary45 will or could come close.
But it takes a foundation to make a house
and it takes a long time for a seed to grow into a majestic redwood
and if you look in the sky and can see a moving cloud, it means there is a patch of blue there too. In which case it is a good day. Even if there are clouds, it still is a big day
Of course, one can whine about a wedge issue or two, and I hope you then shall be happy
with Jeb in 2016.
there is a line in the sand
Obama is one side
the loser in 2012 is on the other
in 2016
Hillary is one side
Jeb Bush on the other
remember, it takes a Clinton to beat a Bush
take your choice. It is stark in its difference
And if you don't see it, again, your eyes must be wide shut (to quote the legendary Stanley Kubrick).
but then there was probably someone who didn't like Lincoln or FDR too.
but most of those would have been todays tea party people.
