Score one for the aggies!

Seems he hasn't totally destroyed our education system yet....

Probably been too busy destroying healthcare, spying, lying, planning the families next vacation, looking for yet another fascist tzar for a dept head, firing patriotic generals, and thinking about his next EO.... he must figure Common Core has that covered.

After all, he's such a busy man

at least his golf game is getting better

someone been drinking FLIT ?

Actually having Reagan and/or Lincoln as first deems the entire study as flawed and getting the last two correct does not redeem the report.

So I guess the old indoctrination system has taken it's toll.

Is Jimmy Carter, Joe Kennedy's illegitimate son?

Many years ago, During Carter's Presidency, I was seated in First Class on a trip from JFK to LAX. Seated next to me was a well dressed, well spoken gentleman of about 40. We started talking just to pass the time, and the man, (let's call him "Mike") mentioned that he was a DC Lawyer. We started talking politics, and it turns out that neither of us were happy with Jimmy Carter as President.

Mike rose to the occasion to tell me that the "in the know crowd" in Washington circles was aware of a Carter family secret. Mike let me in on it. Jimmy Carter was the biological son of Joe Kennedy! Cheeeze! He had my attention immediately.

Then he proceeded with the evidence. From his briefcase, Mike produced a few things. Among them were photo's of Jimmy Carter, Billy Carter, and Robert Kennedy. He asked which two looked like brothers. Hmmm, Jimmy and Robert. Billy bore no resemblance to Jimmy. Robert did. Next, he produced a weathered, well copied artice from a MA newspaper, possibly even the Cape Cod Times, I can't recall. In it, was the story of how Joe Kennedy's secretary, Lillian Carter, was returning to Plains GA. The story, as I remember it, did not mention the reason for her departure. Mike claimed it was because she was pregnant with Jimmy Carter. Mike then went over a few things. Jimmy Carter had no political connects of any importance in Plains, GA. He graduated from a small rural HS, and got a Congressional Appointment to The USNA, Annapolis MD. This was at a time when such appointments were as scarce as hen's teeth. It meant 4 years in Canoe U., far removed from the war, among other things. Upon graduation, after not really distinguishing himself, he was hustled into the nuclear submarine program, supposedly by Hyman Rickover, a very political Naval Officer, and an outspoken Democrat. Hmmm.

Upon finishing his rather undistinguised Naval career as a LCDR, Carter entered GA politics, and in no time, this nobody, son of a Peanut farmer, was Governor of GA. Hmmm. His next step was to the 39th President of the USA. A bit odd, perhaps, everything considered?

Suppose he was Joe Kennedy's son. Makes a lot more sense, doesn't it? Remember, Joe said he would put 2 son's in the Whitehouse?

We always heard of "MS. Lilian" during Carter's presidency, but I never heard a word about her husband.

Is it possible that somewhere in archives there is a copy of this story which appeared in a newspaper at the time?

I welcome serious replies and observations. I am not trying to be a wise-guy, just someone looking for a skeleton, or two.

Follow the family tree. All of them (our presidents) have been related in one way or another (US Royalty?) and distantly to the queen.... then there's Obozo..... do I hear an "OOPS" from the crowd?

Actually Obama is related to the Bush's and Cheney's on his moms side from a couple hundred years ago.

Well, they usually get it right!

Not if they think Reagan or Lincoln would be the best. In fact Lincoln should be somewhere between Carter and Odumbo. Reagan should be somewhere near Wilson and FDR.

No they have it right, Lincoln and Reagan are the top two presidents we have ever had. During the Reagan and George H.W. Bush Presidencies NO ONE said no to the US. We were THE world Power. Between Clinton and Obama that status is gone.

So what you are saying is that if a president violates the constitution and keeps a standing army to bully the world, then they would be a great president.

So if that be the case then Odumbo should be number 1 and GW Bush should be number 2 followed by FDR, Wilson, Johnson and Lincoln.
But Reagan was the loser, rescuing some idiot college kids in Grenada.

How some can consider this greatness, I know not. It is just the sickness that has brought the world to the brink of destruction and shows that the indoctrination system has done an excellent job. A country with a mass of idiots that can ill think for themselves adn believes greatness is associated with the biggest bully on the block.

Thank god for the 2nd Amendment that is only marginally effective and the people that will some say wake up and assert their full rights.

Lying must have been on of the categories.

FDR started what Obama is finishing now!

Actually that could go all the way back to John Adams, his want of a strong central government. One that was downsized by Jefferson.

And it could also be argued that Wilson was the start of today's real problems, the Federal Reserve. Yes FDR, had the "New Deal" a blatantly socialist idea. Included in the "New Deal" was a series of articles that did for other industries what the Federal Reserve Act did for the banks.

But the difference was the "New Deal" act was challenged all the way to the Supreme Court and was declared unconstitutional. Why not the Federal Reserve, because great care has been taken to never have standing to challenge the act, hence it has never been before the court.

Just a little sideline being FDR came up.

Reagan should be listed as number one. Iran realized what Reagan was going to do as soon as he took office, hostage crisis over. Any time someone messed with us they got dealt with. He opened a dialogue with the U.S.S.R. which we never had. He stood at the Berlin Wall and stated "Tare this wall down!" and laid the ground work for the wall to come down along with the Iron Curtain coming down and virtually the end of Communism.

No one told the US no While Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush were in office. Military might and not being afraid to use it is a great way to achieve diplomacy and is what made the US the world last great superpower.

First, the Iran hostages situation: "On Jan. 20, 1981, the day of President Reagan's inauguration, the United States released almost $8 billion in Iranian assets and the hostages were freed after 444 days in Iranian detention; the agreement gave Iran immunity from lawsuits arising from the incident."

Boy that was a real show of strength, sort of like Odumbo, "After the election..." spiel. And to boot, Reagan sold out the people: "In 2000 former hostages and their survivors sued Iran under the 1996 Antiterrorism Act, which permits U.S. citizens to sue foreign governments in cases of state-sponsored terrorism. The following year they won the lawsuit by default when Iran did not offer a defense. The U.S. State Dept. sought dismissal of the suit, arguing it would hinder its ability to negotiate international agreements, and a federal judge dismissed the plaintiffs' suit for damages in 2002, ruling that the agreement that resulted in their release barred awarding any damages."

What a show of strength, sure showed the American people just how they could be used as pawns in any of their little schemes.

And as for the Iron Curtain, Reagan was like Odumbo, one of the great speech makers, after all he was an actor. But the demise of the Iron Curtain was between Hungary and Austria: "So the stage was set for Horn's dramatic media event, which was carefully staged as Horn and Mock cut the only remaining section of the Iron Curtain on the border. The decision had already been taken to disassemble the physical barrier. East Germans, who had entered Hungary as tourists, were allowed to cross into Austria on 19 August 1989 as refugees during a civic gathering on the border that came to be known as the Pan-European Picnic. Tens of thousands followed after 10 September 1989, when Horn announced that Hungary would open its border the following day. The Berlin Wall came down in November."

So what did Reagan really do for America, smooth talk the people in a form of slavery with his infamous "Reaganomics". Where all the money went to the top and supposedly was to "trickle down"? Has anyone seen those trickles? Couple drops here and there but no trickles. So the only number one he would earn is how to sell out the people and make them happy to being sold out.

But now let's use your analogy, showing military strength. Then the winner could be hotly contested with Wilson that gave the country to the bankers and then giving them a war four years later to help set up their debt income for life, the slavery of America without firing a shot and then sending their sons off for mass slaughter in the trenches of Europe.

And it could be FDR with his "New Deal" establishing the gullibility of the people to accept socialism and further slavery. But the big corporations were pissed when their "Federal Reserve" like act, National Recovery Administration and Agriculture Readjustment Act were declared unconstitutional, so bingo he gave then WWII. And the people got more debt and more of their sons were sent off to die on foreign soil.

But by your analogy, the winner would have to be Odumbo. First by giving Iraq to Halerburton, now that was a real power move, just up and give a defeated country to a corporation, not just any corporation but one with close ties to Cheney which he had pardoned. And then he upped the ante in Afghanistan by increasing the troop levels and starting insurgencies into our supposed ally, Pakistan, supposed because they didn't seem to like that. Then he personally killed Bin Laden from his bunker in Washington in that sovereign territory of Pakistan, thank god they trust us. Of course let's not forget Libya and Odumbo allowing Gaddafi to be killed.

And of course let's not forget all those drone strikes in any country he feels like invading. But the big one would be Syria. Had it not been for the British people and the American people putting the kabash on their respective governments, Bashar al-Assad would have been disposed and we could have had WWIII. And of course, let' not forget that wonderful little illusion and his overthrow of the Ukraine government.

Of course there is that little thing with Russia and Crimea, but that is no problem. At this very moment his people are working hard with the Ukrainian jackboots to start WWIII.

So I guess the real winner under your analogy would be ODUMBO
