"On a weekend that equally honors George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Bill Clinton"

I do not think that "Presidents Day" is supposed to honor any presidents except Washington & Lincoln; not Reagan not Hoover, not Clinton nor Johnson

You are so right. This was a bogus holiday that they concocted to placate people upset about taking away Washington's birthday and Lincoln's birthday.

Technically speaking, there is no Federal holiday known as "Presidents Day." It is still "Washington's Birthday." Richard Nixon signed an executive order one year stating that that year's WB holiday would honor all past presidents. Nothing in it designated future WB's as PD's, and no Congressional legislation has done so either. So, as a former historical interpreter at Mount Vernon, I take comfort in the fact that we are celebrating the birth of one of only two truly great presidents this country has produced (the other being Ronald Reagan, of course; Teddy Roosevelt comes close, but, IMHO, was not quite there). George W. Bush is certainly on track for greatness; let's just pray he holds the domestic line while kicking terrorist butt.
