Have you ever visited a Presidential Library?

If so, what did you think? Was it interesting?

I have not, but would like to.

Reagan Library. VERY interesting and revealing. Worth the effort.

Nixon Library. Interesting, not so revealing. Somewhat expected.

Yes.

Coolidge's in MA - very interesting.

Kennedy's, also in MA - very moving.

W. Bush's in Dallas - well done.

Reagan's - the absolute epitome. I want to go back.
 
Whos would you like to see? (without factoring in location)

I wonder if Obama's teleprompters will end up in his library or the Smithsonian.

No, I've favored visiting their homes, ten of them so far.
 
Yea. Harry Trumans in Independence MO
 
Unfortunately no, but I would like to. I think JFK's would be great to see. Too bad the Reagan Library is in California as there is no way I'm going there. I should have visited Truman's when I lived in Grandview, but I was not really interested in such things then.
 
I am from Arkansas originally, so I have been to the Clinton one in Little Rock was pretty cool. For some reason we have yet to go to the Truman library even though we have lived in the KC area since 99.

I have been to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library twice. The second time I went it had the 707 Air Force One set-up and this is a great addition to the library (the first time I went the aircraft was in pieces awaiting to be reconstructed).

Beautiful location. Next time I am in California I plan on visiting it again.

In his library, like Reagan's.

There's one reason above all others that President Obama uses a teleprompter in delivering most of his speeches: he's good at it.

Ronald Reagan was the same way. He was more at ease in reading his speech off the dual screens of a teleprompter than looking up and down at a speech text on his lectern.

Hahaha, yeah his head wags side to side like a dog's tail.

Point being that your little partisan jab at Obama failed. Had Bush the ability to use a TelePrompTer, (he lacked the cognitive qualities, and stared at the thing like a dear in the headlights) he too would have used them.

Your little partisan failed, because Bush also graduated from Harvard. You have zero sources to back your claim.
 
Yes... Nixon. It was pretty cool.

How is my point partisan, I agree Obama uses teleprompters, and pointed out that Reagan did too! You on the other hand, acting as though Obama is the only president to do so, tried to ridicule him for it, lol.

Not so, George W. Bush. He often got that nervous, deer-in-the-headlights look when giving an address from a teleprompter. He would seem stiff and ill-at-ease. He did not convey a sense of understanding.

Not yet (there are only thirteen of them), but I have visited a half dozen presidential homes and/or graves.
 
This thread reminded me of something, I have lived in Georgia for 14 years now and I have never visited the Jimmy Carter Library. However during that same time I have visited the Ronald Reagan Library in California twice.
 
The best part about the George W. Bush library is that only about half the books are colored in.

Just kidding! I have not been to any as of yet.
