I'll bet Franklin Roosevelt would give this guy a good argument, since his fourth term was ended only by his sudden death in 1945.

[VoodooEconomics]

FDR - elected President in November 1932, to the first of four terms.

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Roosevelt directed organization of the Nation's manpower and resources for global war.

I believe FDR was reelected in 1944

And as a precedent, no other President had a "9/11" to address.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

The argument could be made that Harry S. Truman was able to accomplish this feat. He was re-elected in 1948 after leading the US to victory over Japan.

Though he did not lead the US into WWII, he was there to make sure we won the war in the Pacific.

I shudeer to think of what may have come to pass if FDR were still at the helm through 1945 and onward.

Gee they kind of skipped FDR, and Truman who started the Cold War, and Lincoln, and of course Johnson refused to run in 68 so that's a little disingenuous.

Definite bulldada.

Re #1

He tried to put a vodoo curse on GW Bush.:)

[upchuck]

Leaving aside for a moment that the author is a moron who undoubtedly flunked USA History 101, methinks the curse is about to be broken.

Unless, of course, my fav Big Al beats Dubya in Nov 2004.

I guess that Bubba's wars weren't major enough. How many small wars does a president have to engage in to be tossed out?

[7DayRepo]

Here's some counterspin to this Times propaganda:

Every President who has chosen to run for another term after leading the country into a major war has been re-elected, except for G. H. W. Bush.
