1. I was born in 1953, but after Truman had left office. I've seen five so far, and will see # six soon

JFK had balls and guts. Johnson did see the inhumanity of the treatment of blacks and did something about it. Carter, well the man's actions and words speak for themselves, and his words and deeds are hard for ANY mortal man to live by. Bill Clinton worked to give everybody hope of a better life, and people of all income groups and races did better, much better. Obama took office with this country facing a crisis that most Americans had never faced. Even with the obstruction from the GOP and some Democrats, he succeeded in bringing us out of the depths of despair. We have a ways to go, but we are on the right road. Now we have an opportunity to continue on that same road, but with a different leader. That leader has said repeatedly that she likes that road.
