Haiku Friday: Modern Presidents


I thought the discussion of George H.W. Bush yesterday was fascinating. It might be fun to continue the theme and haiku this week about modern presidents-- pick you favorite, or your least favorite, or something in between! (and yes, IPLawGuy, I suppose you can haiku about Polk or whoever you most recently read a "book" about). 

Here, I will go first:

In fifty-five years
They will remember as best
Barack Obama.

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 formula and have some fun!

Legacies created?

Reagan-confidence
Bush 1, a bigger Europe
Bush 2- Mid east mess

Do you want the truth?
I only kissed one of them
A long time ago.

Tricky Dick the crook,
Watergate still bothers me,
Broken legacy.

I have one for each administration of my lifetime, save Carter, although he plays into one:

Running guns and drugs
In the name of James Monroe:
Reagan/Bush hubris.

"Read my lips" versus
"The economy, stupid;"
Economy wins.

Clinton used missiles
As tools of diplomacy.
Rest in peace, Layla.

Middle Eastern wars
Of misadventure: Bush's
Legacy lives on.

No one remembers
Cash For Clunkers when talking
About legacy.

Carter sold his farm,
But Saudis rent rooms en masse
In Trump properties.

Of those standing there,
He gave the country’s best care.
Michelle at his side.
