If he were simply foolish or misguided I figure he'd get some things right from time to time just due to random chance. The only way to get every last thing wrong, the way Obama seems to do, is to willfully try to do it wrong and be highly skilled at it.
Here's my (very) quick take on past presidents that I personally remember, and including Obama at the end. Overall, not a very pretty picture . . .
* JFK - not deserving of the accolades he received (Remember the Bay of Pigs?), he'd be
too conservative for today's Democratic party.
* LBJ - crook, slob, war criminal. His Great Society programs are the #1 reason we're in debt up to our eyeballs as a nation.
* Nixon - Arrogant egomaniac. He DID get us out of Vietnam - I'll forgive a lot for that - but my gut feeling is that he resigned over something
other than Watergate. (No idea what, but I think a backroom deal was struck.)
* Ford - Placeholder.
* Carter - Probably well meaning but woefully inept, he's become a bitter old man . . . and a rather nasty streak of anti-semitism has surfaced of late.
* Reagan - Contrary to some admirers, he DIDN"T walk on water - but overall, he was quite the respectable POTUS.
* Bush 41 - Not well suited for the job. One of the patrician-like RINOs. Did some good, did some bad. Left the impression that he really didn't want to do the job. (This was reinforced by his pathetic bid for re-election.)
* Clinton - Amoral opportunist, motivated by "ME - ME - ME."
* Bush 43 - Spendaholic. Big-government RINO. No prize, but certainly not the evil Satan-spawn the media makes him out to be.
* Obama - I hope to be proven wrong, but this guy is shaping up to be perhaps the first president motivated by
actual malice towards this country.
