I agree - 3 through 8 don't belong there.

There is far too much revisionism re: Truman. Many forget how reviled he was or what a serious demagogue he was. He was a very mean and a very petty man.

Even the Supremes slapped him down when he tried to seize the steel industry. "To err is Truman". We discount the people that had to endure him - Truman was so unpopular that he couldn't run for re-election and he left office with the lowest ratings of any. There had to be reasons.
