#1 Why hammer Johnson and Kennedy without reference to Eisenhower? It was his paranoia about encircling China (Cam Ran bay, Subic bay, Japan, Korea, etc) they mishandled.

#2 Four years of malaise. Inflation was running at levels last seen in Weimar Germany. Military morale sank to an all-time low...

Not to mention the energy crisis, bell-bottoms, and disco! Worst. President. Ever. And during the Bicentennial, too, dammit.

History is cyclical, so they will be back in one form or an another, and the Pain will start all over again.

#7 And FDR.

Oh, and let's not forget he invaded French North Africa without a declaration of war or Congressional authorization. He'd maintained an open diplomatic relationship with the neutral Vichy French government up to the moment of the unprovoked and premeditated attack. A day of infamy indeed.

Let's remember the modern liberal mantra - one set of rules for me and a separate set of rules for thee.

#8 Ike was wise enough to avoid bailing out the French when they got themselves encircled at Dien Bien Phu.
