Jeff, With all due respect, how old are you? The country was split in half, (at least), during the Viet Nam war, and Nixon was truly despised by the left half. Reagan wasn't much more popular with 1/2 the country, Bush Sr. was pretty hated for Iran/Contra, etc., and Carter was absolutely ridiculed while in office. Ford was sort of a lame-duck eunich, so you got that one right at least.
No other President in history has misled the country into a war, and what a shining war it is, so comparisons all do fall a little short I'll admit.
