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!

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.
