It's a weird wiring of the brain to call Mr. Clinton a rapist when in fact women were throwing themselves at him. Clinton came of age at the peak of the sexual revolution and most people in his circle were having multiple affairs. By comparison he lived a life of restraint. We should also remember David and Solomon who have become Christianity's hero's and they were so busy in bed that you wonder how they managed to run their government.
Also Clinton has become much loved and respected by the Bush's and by most of the world leaders so it's a puzzle to know why people spend time trying to tear him down.
Well there have been several women who have come forward and said they were literally raped by him, or sexually molested: true or not, no one knows. If even one is true he is a rapist. I don't really think that is the point however. Where are you getting your information he is loved and respected by the Bush's? And where are you getting the idea he lived a life of restraint? Do you think adultery is living a life of restraint? Would you tell your son, it is ok the screw around on his wife? Now, that being said, I will add, I don't think he was a bad President, I can respect him as a PResident as some do, but that doesn't mean I respect him as a person. I do not. I think the poll did not indicate those who were surveyed respected how he carried on in his private life.
More like "the best president in 50 years"...not 25 years.
you mean you actually put him above Obama? I am shocked!! And how about Kennedy? Ok, that was barely over 50 years ago. I am not sure how anyone can really put any Pres. or rank anyone "best" in 50 years. I would have to ask you, were you even old enough to vote 50 years ago? If not, you can not possibly be in a position to judge. All you know is what you read and we all know we can find something to read to backup anything we want...f
Bill Clinton did (not) rape anyone, rather he had consensual sex in the White House. There was no alcohol or drugs involved and both parties involved did it 100% voluntarily.
But Bill Clinton made our deficits disappear, stopped the growth of our national debt, had everyone's stocks doing great, and created an America where no one was complaining about money.
I do not approve of Clinton's vulgar behavior and his disrespect for marriage. But whats a more important issue for America, stopping the growth of our national debt (or) two adults having consensual sex?
But unfortunately today's republicans are more concerned about consensual sex acts, than they are deficits, debt, stocks, and America's financial well-being.
When a Democrat is in office and times are bad, then we really need to understand how economies don't change overnight. But when a Republican is in office and times are bad, it's because he's a Republican.
Well, you can't get away from facts. Bush enjoyed a fairly good economy, but by the time he left the office, the economy was destroyed. No, I did not say it is because he is Republican. Do not insert that into my mouth.

I'm an American...I have the right to rank presidents regardless of when they lived.
Lincoln is first, then FDR, Teddy Roosevelt, Truman and IKE.
I wasn't alive during any of those presidencies.
And why feign surprise that I'd put Clinton over Obama? Because I'm black? That's a cheap shot.
Clinton is the best present this country has had since Truman..And I consider him to be equal to Ike.
As to your Kennedy question, he didn't complete a full term so I can't rate him.
You call six years of unprecedented economic growth "economic disaster"?
Believe it or not, but I was actually referring to the end result. And no, I am not going to get into Repub vs Dem finger pointing. You can't change history. If you are going to blame the failure on Congress, then you must be blaming the GOP Congress today. Are you doing that?

Just curious, who is equal to Ike in your opinion, Truman or Clinton?
Why do you rate Clinton so high despite the fact that he damaged our economy?
P.S. I think your top 5 (Lincoln, FDR, Teddy Roosevelt, Truman and IKE) is pretty reasonable.
