Grant provided neither vigor nor reform. Looking to Congress for direction, he seemed bewildered.

Wow.. no matter what you think of the guy, this isn't the type of editorializing that one should find on a government historical site. "Vigor" & "Bewildered" are both statements of opinion that aren't measurable.

Hmmm. Are they projecting? Let's see . . . .

When he was elected, the American people hoped for an end to turmoil. Obama provided neither vigor nor reform. Looking to Congress for direction, he seemed bewildered. One visitor to the White House noted “a puzzled pathos, as of a man with a problem before him of which he does not understand the terms.”

Wrong president.

The propaganda tentacles are all over the place. Dubya didn’t do anything like this to his “loyal” opposition.

By the way, anyone notice that the home page, www.copyright.gov, of the US Copyright Office (branch of Library of Congress that officially registers copyright claims in the USA) has an eccentric logo in place of the old pen-in-a-circle, a logo that looks a lot like a crescent? Next to a picture of what presumably is a cupola of said Library but looks a bit like the top of a minaret?

Is this the same US Grant that worked as a tanner, drank heavily, and kicked serious butt when it came to war? Better him than Mead.

Another reason for me to despise this current regime. My wife is a descendent of U.S. Grant.

The White House website should have child blocks on it. It is abusive to subject children to anti-American propaganda like that.

Grant was a million times the man Obozo is. At least, he had a resume. From Colonel to General of the Army in three years. And not because of a bunch of no account ass kissers. The guy won. In Sherman’s words, “Grant has all the tenacity of a Scottish Terrier.” And no one in history was more magnanimous than Grant in his victory over Lee at Appomattox. Compared to Grant, Obozo is a man only by a sort of courtesy.

No one is as good a president as who’s in there now or is as superior as Carter apparently. It’s just Grant’s turn under the bus. True or not, I’m surprised alcoholism wasn’t brought up.
