I find this kinda funny
anyway, when historians rank presidents in terms of greatness, i find it funny that the top one is generally Lincoln, and within the top five are teddy roosevelt and RD roosevelt. All three of these presidents did things that were grossly unconstitutional, or at the very least, unprecedented. Lincoln with martial law, teddy with his foreign policies, and FDR with what has been stated here, just as brief examples.
By this type of criteria, bush is well on his way....
