After much thought and using my 'investigative skills' .. I'd have to say Eisenhower because HE is also a favorite from the 'independent' non voters ..
Quote:
Former American President Dwight D. Eisenhower had three secret meetings with aliens, a former US government consultant has claimed.
The 34th President of the United States met the extra terrestrials at a remote air base in New Mexico in 1954, according to lecturer and author Timothy Good.
Eisenhower and other FBI officials are said to have organised the showdown with the space creatures by sending out 'telepathic messages'.
I like the suggestion that the new monument should include: FDR, Truman, Eisenhower and Reagan.
As I pointed out earlier, FDR would not qualify, since he deliberately introduced more harmful socialist/communist/totalitarian traits inside the country, than he fought off outside the country.

When you get selected for the commission charged with making those decisions you can do whatever you want. I don't care.
Ronald Reagan, the greatest President in modern history.
Why do you say that? I work with this guy (he's a union guy like me) who just loves Reagan too. I ask him to seriously explain to me what Reagan actually did for the country that didn't either put us in debt or had to be repaired by the following adminsitrations?
Did he actually accomplish anything that wasn't a total [MOD CUT/language] up?
I agree with the others who said none. Why mess with a national memorial? That's like wanting another president to be inserted into---take your pick. Leave the memorials alone. Start another one if it is that important.

I can think of one right now. He told the air traffic controllers to go back to work or lose their jobs. They went back to work and protection of our skies were not disrupted. Some decided not to and I know some but our country was not shut down and our skies stayed safe.
Next---I bet many can think of other things as fast as I could.

What he did was fire some people who were exercising their rights to strike due to poor working conditions.
I grew up in a town with an air traffic control center and some of my friend's Dads worked there. They were working 60-70 hours a week, every week. All forced OT and they were being pressured for mistakes they were making.
They were all burned out and simply asked for better working condition and for the gov to replace controllers instead of forcing them to work OT
Reagan used that as an excuse to hurt the labor unions.
Any other good reasons why someone would worship that puke?
