My dad has told me that President Truman saved his butt and got him out of the Army while WWII was going on. A college professor told me her parents have high respect toward HST.

If this makes HST a poor president, then so was Reagan, Bush (both), Lincoln, Nixon, Ford and every single GOP president, governor, senator, representative.

I've been to Truman's presidential library twice, looking forward to my next visit. I absolutely loved Clinton's library!
