And that\u2019s what this book is attempting to do, give somebody who either aspires to be a leader, or is already a leader and wants to be a better leader, some really important things to think about as he or she tries to up their game as a leader going forward,\u201d he told <em>Secrets<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Boston, also a Dallas-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/lawyers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>lawyer<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/baseball-judge-poised-to-make-history-in-the-bronx-in-home-run-race\/\" title=\"Baseball-Judge poised to make history in the Bronx in home run race\">baseball historian<\/a>, said that his Mount Rushmore of presidents would include Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan with George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, he\u2019d back restarting the stone carving project to include all eight. \u201cI think that\u2019d be wonderful,\u201d Boston said. \u201cThese days the focus throughout the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-real-clear-politics-say-they-never-called-pennsylvania\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Real Clear Politics -- SAY THEY NEVER CALLED PENNSYLVANIA\">news media<\/a> is on people doing bad things, so little on good people who\u2019ve done <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/officials-calling-for-investigation-into-capitol-protest\/\" title=\"Officials calling for investigation into Capitol protest\">good things<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-cancer-charity-gave-zero-for-research-millions-spent-on-salaries-travel\/\" title=\"Biden Cancer Charity Gave \u2018Zero\u2019 For Research; Millions Spent On Salaries, Travel\">great things<\/a>. And I think that really is important. I think we need to be in the business of paying tribute to truly great people,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, when our conversation turned to current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>history<\/a> and the six presidents since the Gipper, Boston said that he doesn\u2019t see much leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/George-H-W-Bush\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>George H.W. Bush<\/a>, he said, was \u201cone of our top two one-term presidents,\u201d but he failed on the economy. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Bill-Clinton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Bill Clinton<\/a> was plagued with scandal. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/George-W-Bush\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>George W. Bush<\/a> was underrated and will see his status rise, but not into the top 10. And Barack Obama, he said, gave good speeches but there was little follow-up.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Then there are former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a> and President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Joe-Biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a>. \u201cTrump and Biden are both gonna be in the bottom 10,\u201d the historian said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur country is heading into the valley of death. Like the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Charge_of_the_Light_Brigade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Charge of the Light Brigade<\/a>, a second term for either of them will be disastrous. Because with each passing day, one of them becomes more cognitively dysfunctional, and the other becomes more psychologically unhinged,\u201d said Boston, no fan of either.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI just hope and pray that somehow, whichever way it is, somehow in the next four years, our country survives, and then gets these guys off the stage. Let\u2019s have a new group of leaders that hopefully will have at least some of these leadership traits that are covered in the eight presidents in my book,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEE THE LATEST POLITICAL NEWS AND BUZZ FROM WASHINGTON SECRETS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Boston has some hope for the GOP in former United Nations Ambassador <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Nikki-Haley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Nikki Haley<\/a>, who continues to draw one-fifth of Republican primary votes from Trump even though she long ago dropped out of the race. \u201cShe potentially could be a real top-flight president,\u201d Boston said.<\/p>\n<p>Not so for Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Kamala-Harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris<\/a>. \u201cShe is a 100%, full-blown, undisputed, unambiguous, empty suit,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/meet-rep-cori-bush-and-her-fellow-faith-healers\/\" title=\"Meet Rep.
