George Bush was a major disappointment as well. No WMD indeed. He was merely a front for the NEOCONS who were in the debt of the AIPAC bunch. Bill Clinton was a lousy President. Personal behavior being only part of it. He promised we would only be in Bosnia for a year--and of course it was nine years. However, the two worst Presidents for foreign policy we have endured in the 20th century would clearly be Jimmy Carter and our current President.
What we need is a president with intelligence, morals and vision.
The only two great Presidents since the turn of the 20th century were Ronald Reagan and Calvin Coolidge.
Bill Clinton was, is, and always will be nothing more than Arkansas trailer trash.
Coolidge was a progressive opposite reflection of the Randians inflicting the Republican Party these days; Running a country as if it's a collection of separate economies with no impact on national level. It's fun to sit around the dorm room and internet message board and espouse such ideas, but damn if it doesn't lead to failure in the in practice.
Clinton only seems great compared to the absolute failures we've had in the White House since the 50's. FDR was probably the last really good President we've had, and his cousin Teddy was probably the last one I'd consider "Great."
Baring any major foreign war breaking out between now and 2016, in 50 years from now I bet historians will hold Obama in higher regard than Clinton.
Let me know when you find a unicorn willing to run for higher office.
Unicorns aside (and no, you can't substitute your little pony either), our republic's political system has become such a money game it is a crime. Many were appauled when the Supreme Court allowed for massive campaign donations---that is horrible.
We need a law like the most a private citizen can donate is $100.00 a year per candidate. Tax deductable. NO organization, business, union, think tank, etc. can make any donations. Make illegal campaign contributions a capital offense.
All candidates must be able to pass a random US Citizenship test, possess a basic understanding of international affairs, able to take and endure stress and have some military experience.
I am in favor of Eisenhower being the last truly great President.
slick Willy isn't even in the top 10, IMO.
Eisenhower, then before that you would have to go back to the 1800's. And Abraham Lincoln was the worst president of all-time, second worst would be FDR.
Presient Clinton reduced the Military and set the USA for 911
Monica?, Jones, Flowers
Mark Rich???
If it was not for the House nd Senate controlled by the GOP Clinton would be a totally lack lust President!
But Bill could work a room.
