Doing something like that is extremely harmful to America because it causes people to lose faith in the government when they already have so little. Not to mention many of the things he did were downright illegal and often unconstitutional. He was a prime example of how to run foreign policy though. |
The same can be said for Lincoln and FDR... and George W Bush.
It seems too many people are willing to put up with having their rights betrayed so long as they like the end result.
In the end the choices you make aren't how history will judge you.... but the effects your choices make.
If you are a complete dick that went against everything the country believes in... you can still be one of the best presidents in the countries history so long as you win a big war.
