Reply #3: Best to Worst

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. FDR- for the reasons you said.

2. Truman-though he was flawed, he did try and do a good job. He had personal courage and integrity that haven't been seen for a long time.

3. Carter-he brought idealism to the Presidency and really looked at the office as a trust given to him by the people. Like HST, he had courage and integrity and a desire to really bring peace to the world.

4. Johnson-a pol, a vain fellow who was into personal power, he still cared about his legacy. That's why Medicare was so important to him. His tragedy was not finding a way to get out of Viet Nam.

5. JFK-as you said, an inspiration. I'll never forget how he kept us from nuclear war over the missles in Cuba.

6. Eisenhower-I don't know that the neocons would consider Ike a Republican today, because the general had brains and knew better than to get into foreign adventures.

7. Clinton-a disappointment mainly because his plans for health care, commons sense approach to birth control, and other issues were thwarted by the neo-cons.

8. Reagan-the biggest liar of our time. His greatest role was playing the President of the US for 8 years. People who were really pulling the strings decided that, after him, they could relax and be more blatant.


9. Nixon- I never thought I'd see someone as sleezy again in my lifetime.

10. Bush 41-the less said the better.

11. Bush 43-if our country survives the chimp, it will be by the grace of God imho.
