(Donald Trump was elected after Obama. Worse memory of a POTUS ever!)
POTUS Dots from Eisenhower to Kennedy to Johnson and Nixon to Ford and Carter to Reagan to Bush Sr. and Clinton ...

43 rd POTUS, George Bush Jr. (2001 – 2009)
Not being disrespectful, but there are lines from a Disney animated film that sum up my thoughts about this administration.
A young deer had received wise advice from his mother, but she had to remind him of her instructions by having him repeat what she had told him.

44 th POTUS, Barack Obama (2009 – Present)
“Change has come to America.” Indeed. That “change” will be leaving come January 2017. No doubt your intentions were honorable, and the custodians of American history will likely make a special effort to ensure that the record accurately reflects the highlights of your administration – the good, the bad, and the “questionable”.

- Momma Deer: “Now, Thumper! What did I tell you?”
- Young Deer named Thumper: (Heaves a huge sigh before speaking.) “If you can't say nothing good … (Another huge sigh.) … don't say nothing at all.”
- SUGGESTED READING: A biography of President George W. Bush, the book most historians and reviewers point to is Days of Fire: Bush and Cheney in the White House by Peter Baker. While it focuses on both Bush and Cheney, it is widely regarded as the most thorough and insightful narrative of Bush’s presidency.

SUGGESTED READING: Barack Obama: The Story – David Maraniss. This book explores Obama’s childhood, family history, education, and identity. Ideal if you want to understand the forces that shaped him before the presidency.

So that's it! Presidential DOTs on my timeline from 1955 to 2016. Still proud to be an American, anchored by the belief and knowledge that this country must be standing because of the grace of God.
