That was the only thing he did right, even a broken clock is right twice, him, only once.
Really how much kudos should a man get for fulfilling his minimum job requirement (of not getting a bunch of Americans killed if it could be avoided)? Really he gets this level of praise merely for not wimping out?
As you may have guessed I am the Founder and President of the Harry Truman Anti-fan club. And Vice President of the the JFK Anti-Fan club (Billyboy I think you should be President of that). Some conservatives have a weird fetish for both those men as if they weren’t union liberal dogs because they each did about 1 thing right, whoopty doo.
Truman was the unqualified product of a corrupt Kansas City political machine, the White proto-Obama if you will. If FR had existed at the time he would universally condemned on these pages. He was as popular as dirt until he attacked the GOP Congress from the far left with his particular brand of folksy BS. His speeches in 1948 on economics sounded just like Al Gore in 2000.
The 20th and 21st Century rats Obama, Clinton, Carter, Johnson, Kennedy, Truman, FDR, and Wilson are the 8 worst Presidents in American history. Maybe ole Harry is # 8, that’s still horrible. All of them had contempt for free market capitalism and the constitution. All should be strongly reviled by conservatives and never praised.
