The Presidents I remember:

1. Johnson: a scheming, lying warmonger -- who wasn't even very good at
fighting a war.

2. Nixon: a dishonest leftist (remember wage & price controls?) who engaged
in political repression (remember the Enemies' List?) and because of his
unwillingness to resign when Watergate started to consume all of his and
Congress' time, played a role in the takeover of South Vietnam and Cambodia
by the Communists.

3. Ford: a well-meaning sort who thought that WIN buttons (Whip Inflation
Now) were going to do something about inflation.

4. Carter: a President who presided over the devastation of the American
economy (although not entirely his fault, just as the current healthy
economy is not entirely to Reagan's credit), ignored the intelligence
reports about the dangers to the American Embassy in Iran until it was
too late, and maintained the petroleum price controls which crippled the
economy until 1981.

I stand by my statement.
