Of course. He comes from a long line.

Franklin D. Roosevelt
Harry S. Truman
John F. Kennedy
Bill Clinton
Barack Obama



Meanwhile the Republicans haven't had a decent president since Abraham Lincoln.

785 billion isn`t enough to pay for even one of the wars the last guy started.

Ike was ok but the repubs are trying to scrub him from their history. They haven`t forgotten about that Little Rock incident.

No it doesn't. I know one moron that rooted for the health care act because he thought health care would be free. Imagine his surprise when he found out that he MUST have it now and he has to pay for it. It was a completely different story then. "I don't have that kind of money" Well Pal, you're gonna have to find the money.

A bit premature to add Obama to the list. He has been given 4 more years and his presidential legacy won't be determined until sometime after he is out of office.

Obama didn't end the war. The agreement to end the war was signed in 2008.

Go read about it.

I know what happened... from Richard Miniter and others.

Clinton did not take Bin Laden into custody. He said, "We can't take him. He hasn't broken any U.S. laws." (BTW, he did; the bombings in U.S. embassies, for example.)

And Bill Clinton was impeached. A "great" record there!
