>What do you guys all think? -- Liar, or delusional?< In my darkest heart-of-hearts, I say "it doesn't matter". Either is a characteristic of unfitness. The difference is moral, not operational. I am flatly uninterested in a President's moral geography. But I place highest value on his OPERATIONAL fitness, i.e. he knows what's what and will allow the "buck to stop here". That is why I am a little unhappy with MM's restrictive terms. They pretty much limit the choices to LBJ and later. (JFK for the real éminences grises here) I have highest regards for both Truman and Eisenhower as Presidents. I believe both were savvy, honest and deeply concerned about the interests of the nation. (And each had the inestimable advantage of an obvious political opponent.) Where I confess ignorance is in their foreign policy record ... typically the darkest aspect of the official American psyche. From Kennedy on it was SOP to engage in breathtakingly immoral "deniable warfare" and putschmongering to keep the Red Dread at bay. Did Eisenhower or Truman squeeze an eyelid shut while our intelligence services dispatched discretionary warriors to the planet's hotbeds of revolution and/or liberalism?
