If any president should quietly fade away, it should be Obama. Unfortunately, his narcissistic personality won't allow that and we'll have to suffer his monosyllabic incoherences for who knows how long.
Really? The economy was really good during the Clinton years. Seems to have gone downhill ever since.
The economy was also good in 1990. And it remained solid through 2006. If you want to credit Clinton then you need to give credit to George H Bush and George W Bush.
Here is something else to ponder: Take a look at how each president treated the military during their time in office.
Clinton gave the military raises on average of 2.6%
GW Bush bumped that up big-time. Also, GW Bush actually gave citizens Cash back on their tax returns. Anyone over 35 yrs old should remember this.
Bush actually did a lot more than you realize.
The reason the public doesn't seem him is that he doesn't want to be seen. It's one of the areas (post-presidency decorum) where GWB has really distinguished himself as compared to Carter and, even worse, Clinton. You can even see it in his rising favorability numbers as opposed to right when he left office. Remember, GWB is not a bad guy -- people just thought that about him b/c it's the narrative that was shoved down their throats 24/7. People are now realizing this for themselves now that the frequency of hit pieces about him have decreased. If a hit piece on him is written now, readers will realize that the author is a POS and hold it against the author instead of allowing it to negatively influence their opinion of GWB.
I realize the man left office with a 27% favorability rating and it's nice to see someone in that percentile add their thoughts.

A great President does not get himself impeached for lying under oath (perjury), engaging in witness tampering and obstructing justice.
He lied about sex. That's what's so ridiculous about the entire thing. The entire thing should have been between him, Monica, and Hillary, and not the 24-hour news spectacle that it was. It's embarrassing that the GOP made such a big deal out of it and turned the Presidency into a joke.
It's pretty typical of Republican ex-presidents to retire and stay out of the limelight, unlike the Dems who love to interject their "opinions" into politics after they're out of office.
Then you have Trump, who is a terrible human being AND would make a horrendous president. Seriously, even the Bush presidency (the worst in history) would look downright successful next to a Trump fiasco.
And that's your frontrunner!
Thanks to right-wingers, the GOP is de-evolving right before our eyes. At this rate, a literal clown will win New Hampshire in 2020, instead of a figurative one (Trump).
From what I read Yeezy is still planning on running in 2020. He'll be representing the DNC.
