>>We are presently watching the 1995 movie "Nixon", with Anthony Hopkins. I think that you will see a similar movie in the future about our present president. This movie sure brings back memories!

>In retrospect, where there any really good presidents lately ?
>Kennedy: gunned down quite early. Kept Cuba missile free - and comes off good in the movies.

>Reagan: had the fortune of boom years and was in office when he could still remember his lines. But was he perhaps one of the reasons for the boom ?

>Bush the older: not really a good debater, but was intelligent enough to stay out of Iraq for the duration. And he kept his promise to free oil...

>Clinton: If the worst they tried to hang on him was a true-to-the-letter-but-not-the-intent description of a young girl treating one of his members, that is not too bad in my book.

>Ford: Kept in touch with the ground...
>
>Nixon: Impeached him and made non-flattering movies already... (No I don't usually believe in movies<bg>)
>
>Bush the younger: Enough flames here already. But at least one foreigner who usually thinks high of the US thinks this one is definitely below average.

>Carter: How did that happen ?

Thomas;
I like Thomas Jefferson, Lincoln, Truman and Ford, for different reasons. I liked Ford for his honesty, understanding and determination. The rest and those not mentioned – well, that is a long story! :)
