Say whatever you want about his Presidency, he was before my time but I love history, and I know he wasn’t all that great of a President. But as a person? Truly one of the kindest, most caring souls to ever hold office. If there was a Mt Rushmore type thing for that, he would definitely be one of the four people on it. Thank you for everything you did to make the world a better place for people, and everything you did to help those in need. Rest easy Mr President, rest easy.

You can be a terrible president and still a decent person. A lot of leaders get their hands tied and get manipulated by government. Even forced to do things they don't want to do. We have had a shadow government problem since WW2 and it has only gotten worse.
