    America's last, and maybe only, honest President.

    In what I'm sure is a complete coincidence, he was also the last career military guy to be President.

    He was also the last to have any real control of the country.

    Sure can't say he didn't warn us.

    When he was president, Democrats called him stupid and dumb and all the things they called GW Bush.

    What's your point? GW Bush = Eisenhower? Don't think so. Both had their positives and negatives but they were very different.

    My points would be that the blistering attacks against presidents are hardly new, and the ones that Democrats call "dumb" end up with two terms.

    Deep. And one of the ones that Republicans call dumb ends up with 4 terms.

    Dumb? I don't think anyone called FDR dumb.

    Dangerous, perhaps. Serving 4 terms is rather counter to the American way, before him or since. And that's just for starters. Packing the supreme court doesn't seem very constitutional, either.
