Your Favorite Presidents and First Ladies — Page 2

Kinda related: I just caught up on reading the comic “Killadelphia,” which is absolutely brilliant. One of the running themes throughout the book is, how much of the moral failure of the Founding Fathers, particularly their racial and sexual blind spots, was a product of their era versus inherent personality flaw. If they were given immortality, by the present day would they have changed their stances and viewpoints, or clung to them?

"Killadelphia" sounds really interesting. Tk you, darquegk.

South Florida said: Greer Garson was such a beauty

Greer Garson maintained a home in Dallas (high-rise condo) in her later years. We lived in Dallas for a time, and once saw Miss Garson exiting the downtown Neiman-Marcus flagship store, probably in the 1980's. It was a surprise to see her, and yes, she was a great beauty and a great actress.

Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., the current and one of our best U.S. Presidents, is likely to announce next week that he is running for a second term as leader of our country.

YES !!

Continuing to send love and positivity and strength to former President and First Lady, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter.

For the first two years of my military service, Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson resided in the White House. I had, and continue to have, great respect for each of them. As my Commander-in-Chief, we understood the difficulties President Johnson encountered during the Vietnam Era. I never once doubted his integrity or the decisions he made, and I was honored to serve during his Administration. As well, we can be proud of First Lady Johnson for her work on behalf of the environment and the beautification of the United States. Both great Americans, and I miss them.

And so, upon reflection, I do include President and First Lady Johnson in my list of favorities.

Happy to see President and First Lady Carter in public again. They recently celebrated their 77th wedding ceremony. Truly, an American love story.

Here is a listing of U.S. Presidents ranked from worst to best by historians. I won't spoil the fun by revealing who is ranked first, but his initials are FDR.

I completely agree with Jay on this one. Claiming that FDR was a great leader despite something like the Japanese-American internment is absolutely ridiculous. It's like saying that an abusive man could be a good husband and father as long as he spends most of his time providing for his family because, after all, he only spends a couple of hours yelling and hitting them each week.

It's a plausible hypothesis, but not a slam-dunk like the Japanese-American internment. In the latter case culpability is much more direct and the stakes (arguably) higher.

Thank you for your dedicated service to our country, First Lady Rosalynn Carter. You have left a remarkable legacy. Rest in Peace.
