Oh, how true! I'm sure Teddie wasn't thinking of Bill and Hillary
Clinton when he said that! Or was he? I may get a bit of an argument
here, but in my opinion the US has had about 5 impeccably honest
Presidents - Washington, Lincoln, T. Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower.
I can barely remember Thuman. If you consider all the positions that
Eisenhower had, was there anyone in the world who had in a life time
more power then Eisenhower? I don't think anyone can come up with a
illegitimate misuse of power by Eisenhower. Some people can respect
power; unfortunately, it's not many.
