Both Nixon and Reagan ended up being bad presidents, but I can't help having a soft spot for them because of their ties to Southern California. It's hard to hate them outright. The same goes for Hoover.
Also Grant spent some time in California. It didn't end well. A failed business deal and fighting his personal demons consumed his California years, but surprisingly, he had plans to retire in California before the Republican Party nominated him for president. He's grown on me. I just got done reading Grant by Ron Chernow.
So the Obamas sent their daughter to SC. I'd expect an Ivy League school, but she choice a school in LA. Maybe she will look to UCLA for grad school. Now I like the Obamas more. Sue me.
