Honestly, I see it as relatively minor. I fully admit to not having done any research or having any sort of data, but when someone is dismissed for violating the policy, we seem to hear about it in the media. I don't recall hearing of that many. But truthfully, I've never liked the policy established by....well, you know....and have never voiced support for it.

Anyway...historical revisionism? Do I really need to list his blunders and outright idiocy while in office? Even now his continued diplomatic efforts where they are not sanctioned by the US government are an embarrassment, as well as his recent book full of lies regarding the Palestinian and Isreali conflicts.

No historical revisionism necessary.
