Teddy may have been a tough guy, but he wasn't a great president, certainly not a conservative one. But most of the GOP presidential candidates have been wimps because many of the establishment types are wimps. I honestly think that is the appeal of Obama to some people that would otherwise not like him - even though he isn't a tough guy in reality, he tries to project that persona with at least some success. He has somehow given the idea that he has street cred when he is in fact a wimpy elitist like most of the folks running the show in DC.

I admire Teddy in many ways, but the truth is he was basically a Progressive and really sent us down the path leading here.
