PRESIDENTS WHOM I REMEMBER

PRESIDENTS WHOM I REMEMBER
(A total of 100 points are distributed within a group according to desirability)


PRESIDENT - POINTS - LINDEN’S THINKING

1. Reagan (50 points) For a thinking person this rating requires no explanation.

2. Ford (15 points) Vetoed 66 bills within his very short term. Wonderful!

3-9. Nameless (32 points) No need to write about my disappointments.

10. Roosevelt (2 points) His agreement to grant “Uncle Joe” Stalin control of Eastern Europe resulted in untold suffering for millions of innocent people.

11. Johnson (1 point) His “War on Poverty” resulted in effectively wrecking the average black family and creating millions of fatherless children. Strangely, many of the black clergy seem

2. Mitt Romney (12 points) Any person winning as a Republican in Massachusetts bears watching.

3. Newt Gingrich (11 points) Hopefully hasn’t changed too much since 1994.

2-9. Nameless (16points) Lackluster.
10. Dennis Kucinich (1 point) Even less lustrous.

11. Al Gore (0 points) A potential Carter……
