Name that president

November 2, 2011 by B. Daniel Blatt

“On the night of his inaugural gala, all his dreams seemed within his grasp. . . .
within 100 days _______ would be compared to Franklin Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.”

(Heard on a recent documentary.)

HINT:  It’s not Barack Obama.  And that’s the point of this post.

UPDATE: Seems Cas has been reading my posts as I had mentioned last week that I had been watching a DVD about LBJ.  It was indeed LBJ.  And few would consider that Democrat one of the greatest U.S. Presidents though he shepherd through a lot of legislation.

Seems that the presidents about whom our chattering classes have the highest expectations turn out to be the greatest disappointments.

    Jimmy Carter or LBJ. I would lean towards Carter in the wake of Watergate. Somehow I doubt it will be Ike, Nixon, Reagan or either Bush.
