Presidents Past And Present

Recently, I have been studying quotations made by past and modern American presidents; it’s remarkable and more than a little worrying, that the likes of Lincoln, Jefferson and Adams, show far greater wisdom than the likes of Reagan and either of the Bush’s. Indeed, numerous examples of wise quotations from past office bearers can be found, Jefferson in particular, was an astute and knowledgeable man. In contrast, the only examples you can find from the modern breed are those that highlight their lack of wisdom or education and in some cases, their downright idiocy!

America seems to be going backwards; intellectually, morally and selfishly.

There’s a lot of “blog meat” here, but I’ll keep this post short so I can return to it later!

No facts. Just theory. What was wise about Lincoln that Reagan lacked?
Specifics please.
It must be nice to say the American people are dumb, yet we've built the most modern, most free country in the world.
And of course Bush is said to be dumb too. zzzzzzzzzzz old sh**...
