The Useless Toady [1] goes off the deep end assserting that the Forty-Fourth president will inherit an unprecedented mess:
WASHINGTON — The 44th president will move into the Oval Office with an agenda defined in large part by the 43rd president.In many ways, it will be George W. Bush’s third term.[….][….]No new president gets a clean slate — global politics and the economy don’t run in neat four-year cycles — but presidential scholars say the unfinished business Bush will leave for his successor is unprecedented since at least World War II.
[….]No new president gets a clean slate — global politics and the economy don’t run in neat four-year cycles — but presidential scholars say the unfinished business Bush will leave for his successor is unprecedented since at least World War II.”I can’t think of a single modern president about to bequeath to his successor such a difficult agenda and such a damaged presidency,” says Paul Light of New York University.
If Light is unable to think, let me think for him.
Some problems inherited by modern presidents.
Harry S. Truman: Word War Two, making peace with Stalin and end the war with Japan.
Dwight D. Eisenhowr: Korea.
Richard M. Nixon: Vietnam.
Ronald W Reagan; Iran hostage, malaise, gasoline shortage and wrecked economy..
Unfinished wars seem to the norm for new presidents. What the matter,don’t they study history at New York University?
