Politically Incorrect Guide to The Presidents: From Wilson to Obama

Steven Hayward
Softcover, 307 pages

Grading the presidents—by the Constitution

For a century after the founding, presidents routinely vetoed bills they believed unconstitutional and regularly spoke to the American people on the subject of constitutional government. But beginning with Woodrow Wilson in the Progressive Era, some chief executives have actively sought to undermine the Constitution, and in recent years many presidents have been negligent or simply ignorant about their constitutional responsibilities.

In The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the Presidents, presidential historian Steven Hayward revives the original standard for judging our presidents. You’ll not only discover which presidents get an F on their efforts to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, but also learn about some of the under-appreciated constitutional heroes who have been elected to the White House.

Along the way, you’ll also learn:

-How the much ridiculed Calvin Coolidge was actually one of our most intellectual presidents, reading classics in the original Greek and Latin for relaxation at night in the White House

-How Herbert Hoover, a strong anti-Communist, may have assured the success of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia

-Why Eisenhower deliberately stumbled his way through his rare press conferences

-How Barack Obama wanted to include Hiroshima and Nagasaki on his world apology tour, but the Japanese government said no thanks.
