Bill Clinton = inherited a huge mess left by the failed trickle-down economic policies of Reagan/Bush Sr., and turned the Reagan/Bush deficits and GOP-caused economic recession into a surplus and the most prosperous decade of 20th century America.
Barack Obama = inherited the worst foreign and domestic policy mess since FDR took over the reigns from Herbert Hoover. Saved the American auto industry, enacted healthcare reform, ended the Iraq war, repealed Don't Ask Don't Tell, killed Bin Laden and wiped out most of Al-Qaeda's top leadership. Created more private sector jobs in 2 years than George W. Bush in 8 years. Was the first president since FDR to win 2 terms with over 50% of the vote.
Two great presidents.
This is a hard one.
really? how about neither. if it wasnt for RR, clinton would have been in a depression instead of a boom.
also remember that the unemployment rates went higher with fdr and did not go down until WWII happened.
slick willy should have been convicted when he got impeached. pbo should never have gotten a 2nd term, as he said if he didnt get the economy rolling he should not be re-elected. so neither should be on mount rushmore.
Funny that there are only liberal Democrat choices offered... I agree with the choices only offering between a sexual predator and an Islamic-loving Socialist.

LOL
your ignorance of history and economics is to be envied by liberals all over the world
Clinton: literally said that he opposed a balanced budget, so let's give him all of the credit for balancing it and none to congress.
Pushed China into the WTO and then worked out a permanent trade deal with them = massive surge in our trade deficit and spike in outsourcing!
Campaigned in 1992 on finishing NAFTA and did!
Asked congress to deregulate the banks and then was "proud to sign into law" the undoing of glass-stegall.
Housing Bubble and NASDAQ dot-com bubble.
Don't ask, don't tell, shhh!
Could have got Bin Laden, didn't.
Obama: Democrats like him blast Trickle Down economics, but he has presided over more Trickle Down economics than any president, even more than Reagan! Every Fed pick, every position big or small, Obama picks a QE Trickle Down supporter. Hey, it only increases the wealth gap, but we can blast the wealth gap out the other side of our mouth.
Continued virtually every Bush policy he blasted on the campaign trail!

IF you choose Clinton, can you put the entire Republican Congress especially Newt front and center?
Obama to show "what not to do as a President". Easily tied with Carter as the WORST President in history. A Constitutional failure of epic proportions.
Actually, Obama has surpassed Carter as the worst president in history.
