PRESIDENT'S DAY

The following is the list of presidents that I like:

John Quincy Adams - This was the FIRST president to fight against slavery (he lost but still he recognized it was wrong).


Abraham Lincoln - president during the Civil War - if the South had won what would the US look like today.

 

John F. Kennedy - started the Space Program and spoken out for the Civil Rights Moment.

 

Lyndon B. Johnson - After JFK's assassination, this president put forth federal law that gave African Americans the right to vote, fair housing and employment laws and ended segregation. He essentially moved thru the House and Senate all the laws that Kennedy was working on.  He did not have to do that.  He could have denied or threw it all away.  After all he was a "good-Ole boy" from Texas.


William "Bill" J. Clinton - the only president in my opinion who was the common, everyday man.  He was the only president since Andrew Jackson in which the US was debt free.   Bill was almost impeached for receiving a bj in the oval office....LOL.


 
Barack H. Obama - This guy has the toughest job on the planet.  Our first president of African decent.  He has 2 wars to fight, failing bank system, recession, bipartisan-ism and racism.  His future as a good president is too soon to tell.
 


This is a very interesting picture.
 
After President's Obama 8 years in office (if he is re-elected), I hope Hillary Clinton becomes the U.S. First Woman President.  She is smart and intelligent, experienced, educated, articulate, work-class background, Bill's wife (former First Lady), opinionated yet diplomatic and strong-willed.  Just want we need.
