Anyone who kills 100,000s of people by giving the clearance to drop two atomic bombs over hugely populated cities is not a liberal by my standards. That far, far worse than anything Hitler did by definition. The easier solution would have been to simply kill the Japanese emperor, yet that was a way too sophisticated idea for Truman at the time (probably he didn't have the mental capacity to come up with it either).

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

FDR (S-NY)
LBJ (P-TX)
WILSON (P-Va)
OBAMA (S-IL)
TR (cc-NY)

How is killing "100,000s of people" (and avoiding killing millions more in the process) worse than killing 12 million people? How does the math work there?

If only Eric had been in the White House to inform Harry and the Pentagon's top brass that they were missing the super-easy solution of simply killing the Japanese Empreor!

I find any list without Wilson to be suspect.  So he was a racist; so what?  Lots of progressives have been.  He also seems to get knocked for his internationalist and interventionist views, but that was viewed as "progressive" (with conservatives tending to be more isolationist) for a very long time.  Wilson was the archetype for the modern Democrat and the father of modern American liberalism, IMO.

^This. I would put Wilson behind FDR, LBJ, and maybe Obama. His legislative record was unmatched until the New Deal.
