PRESIDENT RATINGS

Only those who have served within Linden's memory are rated and the ratings are his and are not the result of any poll. Sequence is position, score out of an apportioned 100, name and comments.

1. 24 Reagan Rescued the Country from the malaise of the Carter years, resolved the cold war situation, cut taxes and created a booming economy.

2. 15 Ford Pulled the Country together after the Nixon unrest and vetoed 66 bills. Many bills coming out of Congress warrant the veto.

3. 13 G. W. Bush Despite wrongheaded approach to immigration and failure to veto more bills, his accomplishments are many. See Nov. 30 Test posting.

4. 11 Truman Adequately led the nation. Was responsible for dropping the atomic bombs on Japan and entered the Korean war.

5. 10 Eisenhower Generally conservative, adequately addressed the problems associated with the Korean war, desegragation, and discrimination.

6. 9 G. H. W. Bush Entered Gulf war and Panama invasion. Unfortunately raised taxes.

7. 7 Kennedy Allowed Bay of Pigs fiasco, resolved Cuban missle crisis, early Viet Nam involvement. Reputed to "sleep around."

8. 5 Nixon Ended Viet Nam war, imposed wage and price controls and was removed from office for lying about an almost meaningless campaign issue.

9. 3 Clinton We may never know the true cost to this country for his China deals. Disgraced the office.

10. 2 Roosevelt His agreement to grant "Uncle Joe" Stalin control of Eastern Europe resulted in untold suffering for millions of innocent people.

11. 1 Johnson 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 to think this is just fine.

12. 0 Carter His incompetence is only exceeded by his lack of class as a former officeholder.

HOPE and PRAYER are not synonomous but are slightly related: In this vein, you should note that Linden hopes that the Republicans will field a candidate in the districts listed below. Shown in District, State and current officeholder sequence.

1 Mass. Olver
2 Mass. Neal
3 Mass. McGovern
4 Mass. Frank
5 Mass. Tsongas
7 Mass. Markey
8 Mass. Capuano

Even if these Districts can be reasonably be considered "lost causes," the affected taxpayers need to have a choice.
