I'd studied a lot about him, and how he got America through a number of tough times, I just didn't like how he was a liberal who supported Bill "Slick Willy" Clinton when Clinton literally had his pants down..and a few years ago, didn't agree with President Bush's going to war with Iraq. Apparently Cronkite was not able to see the bigger picture of getting rid of an evil dictator..regardless of bogus intel or not
