11. LBJ wasn't a bad President,
His domestic policies were tops.

Eisenhower at least knew the Government from being in the military and knew international policy.

**had made some serious misjudgments with his votes
**has very little experience in the public sector
**was elected to a job and then didn't even finish serving his term before he was politiking for a huge promotion (big ego on that)
I question his integrity and his actual qualifications to be POTUS, charisma isn't everything.

Nixon while he had many flaws, his problems didn't result from lack of experience, as Bush's, in part, have. Again, Bush I didn't have problems resulting from lack of experience. Their problems were ethical, philosophical...Their ability, for the most part to get things done, was no where near as bad as Bush's II, his record, truly has to be the worst ever.

I want somebody with some EXPERIENCE so that they can start to try to do something that will help this country. I don't want another ojt President. We are in too serious of trouble to look seriously at somebody like that.
