Johnson "Lethal Bomb Juggler" took us to Vietnam, and couldn't face another term
Nixon tricked us out of our innocence, and spied on us, and made the others' war his own, and left in disgrace.
Ford filled in and pardoned, and whipped inflation, and seems to be remembered for his wife.
Carter brought his cronies from the peanut farm, and they in turn brought us...
Reagan, who everybody loves now, but can't seem to remember that he sold arms to terrorists in order to fund an illegal war, and supported regimes that killed nuns, and he let our tax dollars go to bankers (not that that could ever happen again!).
Bush I had his own war, which was relatively successful for our side, but then he paid lip service to the people which led us to...
Clinton who sweet talked us while soiling that pretty blue dress, but we were living between the wars and we re-elected him, and we were Greenspan successful, but that was before the fall
Bush II had to endure a tragedy, then spun the tragedy to promote his crony's war, and to spy on citizens and run the country into debt, and then we went broke, and all we had were more clumsy reasons for war.
Obama offered change (who wouldn't!), but one has to wonder about the possibilities.
These are the presidents of my lifetime. Happy Birthday, Mr. President.
