For the most part, yes, Nixon was one of the bottom three or four presidents in our history. But in comparison with the current occupant of our White House, I stand by my statement. It would take a miracle for former junior US Senator Obama to deserve a place among our top 40 presidents (or for that matter on a list of all lawful Presidents of the United States). I’m praying that Obama will surprise me and turn out better than James Buchanan.

At this point, I think that will take a "Dallas" TV-series style "it has all been a bad dream" event to occur! I don't know how you have a mass-illusion of this magnitude - but it currently makes Houdini and Copperfield look like Saturday afternoon birthday party jesters!
