The biggest controversy here seems to be coming from those within the cult of personality of Theodore Roosevelt who are all bent out of shape. When I look at comments in some places, and when I've heard this brought up by people talking about it, it's TR that is sparking this outrage.

I'm glad they didn't include TR. I'm a conservative. He was a progressive. Good riddance. It's bad enough we have to celebrate the Bushes, TR oversaw huge expansions of the size and scope of the federal government, doing violence to the constitution along the way, and he personally created much of today's deep state.

My Grandfather was a Marine in the Pacific during WWII. I will always say that Harry Truman was a good President for making the decision to drop the Atom bombs on Japan. I might not be here otherwise.

My problem with that list is that at best four of them could be considered “great.”

I don’t celebrate the Bushes, they are largely responsible for where we are today.

“TR oversaw huge expansions of the size and scope of the federal government, doing violence to the constitution along the way, and he personally created much of today’s deep state.”

And he was responsible for causing the election of one of America’s worst and nastiest presidents, Woodrow Wilson.

Theodore Roosevelt WAS a great president and a great man. No question.
