Ronald Reagan: Government isn't the solution to the problem, it is the problem.

Richard Nixon: Skilled, divisive, and paranoid. Who else but Nixon could win the second biggest landslide in presidential history, and go down in flames two years later.

LBJ: Personal likability be damned, he knew how to control a caucus and get results.

Herbert Hoover: Despite his personal attributes, he presided over the start of the depression.

Abraham Lincoln: It temporarily tore the country apart, but he saved the nation and made us better for it.

Grover Cleveland: He...was born in Jersey.

Dwight Eisenhower: The moderate leader saw the warning signs - and he let us know.

Bill Clinton: Liberal? Moderate? Or chameleon, changing as needed to survive - and get results.

James Polk: Who cares if he's largely forgotten, he knew how to set and execute an agenda.
