I would really love to take a few days to soak that place up. And my favorite grade school teacher advised us kids to get to the museum in Chicago if we ever got the chance.

Nobody bothers to criticize or complain about him anymore. The Donald makes Dubya look like an Eagle Scout.

W was(is) a scoundrel. Yes, second worst, but horrible none-the-less. All those people killed in Iraq??? Environmental laws weakened. Lying, corrupt SOB. Not what I imagine as an Eagle Scout. I hate to refute a fellow DUer, but my memories of his disastrous administration have not faded.

Reminders like yours are always valuable.

I think it probably helps to remember that we’re not all in complete lockstep through life.

doesn't make him "almost reasonable" in my mind. He was a disgusting president and I'm sorry to see so many people forgetting how bad his administration was. That's why I'm commenting on your post-to remind folks how horrible he was.

Oh, yeah, that's right. He never paid a price for his war crimes.

So I deleted it.

Btw, the title of mine was "A Gathering of the Last American Presidents...IMO."

Because that's exactly how I feel about it. If you aren't a president for everyone, then you AREN'T.
