    What about Eisenhower? Pretty good general, interstates.

    Theodore Roosevelt; one of our best Presidents IMO

    The assassination of President McKinley in September 1901 meant that the forty-two-year-old had become President of the United States, the youngest in history.

    Leading his party and country into the Progressive Era, he championed his "Square Deal" domestic policies, promising the average citizen fairness, breaking of trusts, regulation of railroads, and pure food and drugs.

    Making conservation a top priority, he established myriad new national parks, forests, and monuments in order to preserve the nation's natural resources.

    In foreign policy, he began construction of the Panama Canal. He also greatly expanded the United States Navy.

    Well then,.. how about Richard Nixon?

    The crooked bastard was our all time champion environmental President,
    the Clean Water Act,
    the Clean Air Act,
    the Environmental Species Act,
    the Environmental Protection Agency,
    and he got the lead out of gasoline.

    Nixon, created detente with the Soviet Union,
    Established relations with China, (an important strategic wedge against the CCCP),
    Passed the Strategic Arms Limitation treaty(SALT) with Russia.
    Ended the Vietnam War,

    The sob committed many crimes, especially bad, I think, was how he schemed to subvert our electoral process,.. but that too was very significant;.. his criminality got him booted out of office, thus testing and proving that the American system of checks and balances could work.

    Yep, Tricky Dick was important.






    oh yeah, one more thing. Glow in the dark uniforms
