What Makes a President Great? 
Liberal pundits and leftist historians agree: the "greatest" presidents are the bold leaders—the Woodrow Wilsons and Franklin Roosevelts—who reshaped the United States in line with their grand "vision" for America.
But as usual, the left has it wrong.
What makes a president great is not his "vision" for reshaping America, but his loyalty to the Constitution.
So argues historian and celebrated Reagan biographer Steven F. Hayward in his new book, The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the Presidents.
Grading presidents based on their loyalty to the Constitution, The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the Presidents offers a fascinating survey of the modern presidency, from the Progressive Era's Woodrow Wilson to Barack Obama.
Along the way, Hayward serves up fresh historical insights, recalls forgotten anecdotes, celebrates undervalued presidents who took important stands in defense of the Constitution—and points the way to a revival of truly constitutional government in America.
Here's a sample of what you didn't learn from your history teacher, but will find inThe Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the Presidents:- Progressive hero Woodrow Wilson aired a pro-Ku Klux Klan movie at the White House
- Calvin Coolidge—who was mocked by liberal historians as a bland Babbitt—was the last president to write his own speeches, guide the country through years of prosperity and limited government, and was one of the most cultured men ever to live in the White House
- Nixon's hysterically vilified Christmas bombing of North Vietnam in 1972 caused very few civilian casualties and compelled North Vietnam to negotiate an end to the Vietnam War
- The misunderestimated George W. Bush read 186 books during his presidency, mostly non-fiction, biography, and history
The United States is at a crossroads and facing a crucial election. The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the Presidents is an essential guide to not only reevaluating how we define great leadership, but to electing a strong president who can restore prosperity and limited government to America.
