This is great. Early footage is always a delight to see. Thank you!

Grover Cleveland was a good President, but not the best Democrat; That title(in my opinion), goes to Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Refreshing that Warren G. Harding was man enough to pardon Eugene Debs.

Just look at the pompous arrogant thing. Wilson was our worst president, needlessly involving us in the First World War. If filthy rich Americans want to go sailing on a British flagship into a war zone, that is their problem, not ours.

Wilson, after ardently promising to "keep us out of war" during the 1916 presidential campaign in which he barely was re-elected, asked Congress to declare war shortly after his inauguration. So much for integrity.

The Founding Fathers set up a government wherein the legislative, judicial, and executive branches were to serve as "checks and balances" for the others, so that one of them wouldn't gain too much power. Wilson, more than any other president before him, established the idea that the president should propose the laws and act without consent of Congress; we suffer greatly from this imbalance of power today.

Lincoln did the same thing as President. I didn't say it was right; every leader has done something wrong. Wilson was not the worst, not even one of the worst.

I just debunked all your facts and you say he's a tyrant. He helped bring about one of the great progressive movments in America. Nixon was not as bad as someone like Hurbert Hoover who sent us into a Depression for nearly a decade and did nothing about it.

I apologise for calling you stupid. How am I making up things? Obama has not

gone back of any of his promises. He's set about closing GITMO, repairing our image around the world, stop the banks from failing, help get us out of a needless war,and so much more. He has only been in as I said for not even half a year. None of this happened after Obama became President; It was George W. Bush.

I don't imply in any way Democrats were Saints and Republicans were all bad people who ruined the country. Both sides did bad things and both sides did good things. I have great respect for Lincoln,Theodore Roosevelt, and Eisenhower. Buchanan,Pierce, and Cater were very bad Presidents. I give credit to both sides of the fence.
