Radley Balko takes on Woodrow Wilson. Frankly, I think Wilson seems significantly more like Bush the younger than Obama, but that's just me. Also, I think it's important to understand that it's always, always important to not judge someone outside of the context of their times.
In the end though, good point from the comments:
I’ll probably get bad karma for this post but I will once again say that libertarians and people with libertarian leanings would do a lot better to advocate attainable libertarian goals such as (but not limited to) pushing back against the surveillance state, fighting against drug prohibition wherever possible but particularly at the local and state level, pushing to simplify the tax code, and stopping the most indefensible government interferences in the economy like farm subsidies. Getting worked up about a president who was in office nearly 100 years ago is at best a waste of time and at worst an advertisement for why libertarian views remain largely irrelevant in political discourse.
Yup. To be a bit honest, I feel a twinge silly even posting about this.
