@BeschlossDC@WilliamsCollege So today was a tragic day in 1881.-Garfield Killed. Will Nov. 22 - JFK's death -be so forgotten in 133 years? -
@marclamb Probably not, although by that time we may have a better-reasoned perspective on our most-overrated president. -
@SethGrimes Most over-rated? That would be Reagan, our greatest con-artist last century...@marclamb -
@Toncuz
@SethGrimes In fairness, Cold War began to end while he was president (Bush 1 actually handled it). So Reagan got credit. -
@marclamb Cold War effectively ended in 1983 when Soviets chief export, oil, collapsed while spending billions in Afghanistan@SethGrimes -
@marclamb Carter drew Soviets into Afghanistan, Truman stood up in Korea, Kennedy, Johnson in Vietnam, bankrupting USSR@SethGrimes
