People forget how HORRIBLY Truman was treated - and it didn't stop at him, it extended to his family as well. Most of it was because he didn't choose to suck Douglas MacArthur's pole and, oh, open the door for WWIII. The problem was the Dems had been in power for 20 years at that point and any time one party is in power for too long you get a backlash - just as with any celebrity who gets too big.
I don't know that I'd put W on the same level though. He has done some of the things he did for different reasons than Truman did.
