Who was the best president of the last ten

Who was the best

  • Total voters
    78

Glad to see the low numbers for Obama, as they should be.
 
oh so true Davey he is deserving of a negative number%@!#
 

Well said. Kennedy is often regarded as one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) by many Americans. He certainly had the vision to become great, but ultimately had no time to implement his vision due to his death.
 
sure if you over look the nepotism drug use and womanizing he's a bloody saint
kinda like Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland didn't have to endure the ravages of aging
 

He worked with them only after they forced him to. Remember the shut down? Reagan actually came up with stuff on his own and then got it done. Youre making my point exactly. All of the credit Clinton gets is because he happened to be there while other people were doing stuff.
 
No doubt Clinton benefitted from having an active GOP congress. Doesnt change the facts. He was able to work with them and knew when to go along as well as when to push back.

And youre rewriting history, because that's not what happened. He fought everything until he was forced over the edge. He didn't know when to do anything. He just did whatever the polls said he should do, and then went back to harassing the staff.
 
Interesting. The poll's running at 24 each for Clinton and Reagan, 13 for Kennedy. I'm surprised it's that close. I thought Reagan was a god to many.
 
Kennedy oh plz JFK & RFK got shot so we don't know, might have ended up like Teddy?
his kid I remember for killing the Bessette sisters?
oh and then there's Caroline ya know?
 
Some historians believe that JFK's place in history was actually helped by his assassination. They feel his policies were actually weak and him being killed so soon eliminated the chance that he would have been exposed as weak had he lived to serve even a single full term. His charisma was allowed to remain.
 
How anyone could ever say that Clinton was the best boggles the mind. Clinton made a mockery of the POTUS. He disgraced the office..........He could have been a good president but he blew it.

Lets see....lets compare Clinton's record with those that you revere as "Great and inspiring world leaders". I think the results speak for themselves.
 
Clinton was incredibly corrupt and the worst POTUS on that list.
 

I think this question is more who you feel was the best, not who really was the best.

Most people on the board were alive during most of these presidencies so we all remember back to when these guys were president and how we felt.
 

Wow the dems should call you to get their next cantidate elected.

You can turn **** into flowers.
 

That is a good point. It was Johnson that pushed through the civil right legislation.

What would have happened if Kennedy was president at that time?
 

Well Obama did get the Nobel Peace Prize as a sitting President.

I guess that makes him better than all of them.

hah yeah I'd forgotten about that, what with Syria & Egypt in flames and Iran boasting about their 18,000 centrifuges. Just like every Demonrat Presidential failure before him he will leave office with the foreign policy of our nation in a complete shambles. Before JFK got his head blown off he nearly got us into a nuclear exchange with the USSR LBJ handed Nixon Nam which he had already lost. Carter lost Iran to the Islamic whackjobs and looked like an idiot for 444 days, hah Raygun got the hostages released and for good measure won the cold war that Truman had started? Course ol Harry gave us North Korea so go figure. Hell Clinton took the wrong side in Yugoslavia and shoulda whacked Osama Bin Laden and saved us from the war on terror!

The next person that stumbles into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is going to inherit a world on the verge of coming part at the seams.
