Every legacy can be summed up in a few words. I know the temptation is to go into detail but I think the future will summarize as I have here.

Legacies:

* Nixon: Watergate
* Ford: Pardoned Nixon
* carter: Iran Hostage Crisis
* Reagan: Fall of Berlin Wall and Iron Curtain
* George H.W. Bush: (I got nothing)
* billy bj clinton: Monica Lewinski
* George Bush: Leadership when 9/11 occurred
* obozo: obozocare (not in a good way)
* Trump: Made America Great Again

[legacy can be summed up in a few words]

How about:

He did what was right in the sight of the LORD.
He did evil in the sight of the LORD.

GOD didn’t stop judging kings...

* George H.W. Bush: (I got nothing)

May I suggest:

* George H.W. Bush: Read my lips! No new taxes!

Herbert gets off very easily in your legacy list. He was very evil over a nice long time. Probably the most successfully evil one of the whole gang.

The Berlin Wall came down under President George H.W. Bush.

Excellent summary!

I have a suggestion for Bush SR.: “Read my lips: No new taxes”.

Otherwise, I can’t think of anything either.
