But teddy was worse than Any Bush in showing off power to get things done HIS way without any thought of other countries or the bad relations that festered thereafter. He kinda screwed us with his badmouthing/intimidation of japan (WWII) and interference in south America.
He pissed off a lot of people without need. He was an ego maniac to boot; congress was screwed by him many a time.
My vote is for the good Wilson. He was fair, balanced, against war but knew that things were getting out of hand and that America needed to stop foolish aggressions. If the european powers had not shat on his 14 points and the Isolationists in America had not done the same to his League of Nations, WWII would not have happened.
