The fact that he ordered the use of ‘Fat Man’ & ‘Little Boy’ to end the war made him a great president, as far as I’m concerned. When his presidency ended, he drove his wife back home. Contrast that with the show Clinton made out of his departure from the White House and Washington.....

Consider the damage left by Clinton’s horde when they vacated the Whitehouse!

The Hoover Presidential Library in West Branch, IA is a great place to visit.

“Hoover ordered the use of the atomic bomb?

That was after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, starting World War II.

LOL That had to be one of the biggest mental ‘glitches’ I’ve ever had on here.

I read Hoover, and Truman came to mind for some reason. No clue what happened there! LOL
