Bush is a far cry from the kind of president Jefferson was.
I haven't seen a real statesman since Kennedy.

JFK was a charismatic, diseased, sex-addicted bungler who almost got
the world incinerated.
And that's why those who shared that opinion had him taken out, right?
That preoccupation with sex makes me think Oliver Stone was on to
something when he portrayed the right winger plot to assassinate JFK as
being infiltrated by homosexuals.
"Charismatic" seems to be enough to impress some people.
In the long run, history may be kinder to W than to JFK.
JFK didn't actually get more that 3000 people killed. Bush was perceived
as weak, which encouraged al Qaida.
