You forgot lbj.
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

Slenderman was the worst president EVER. He had some close runners up, Wilson, both Roosevelts (not my lifetime but very worthy of mention) as well as LBJ and that boob jimmy carter...but sm was atrocious, no words to describe how bad ...and we are still in the midst of asessing the damage with the current scandals.

Eisenhower and Reagan were pretty dang good... but Trump is out doing both, already. He has faults, we all do, but damn he gets things done dragging the swamp on his back getting there despite the obstacles they throw in his path.

All thaI just challenges, invigorates the man.

Every word of your post is raw sewage.
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

I'll say this; Obama was a good house boy. Surrounded himself with Wall Streeter's and did what he was told.

Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

A recent Pew Poll has shown that President Obama is clearly chosen as best president in the respondents' replies:

It might be interesting to see how DP stacks up with the general population. In keeping with the Pew Poll method, you may pick two of the presidents listed below as being the best in YOUR lifetime.


Being limited to 10, I listed Kennedy....that should have been Johnson. Perhaps for purposes of this poll we can view that as one administration?

1.) Obama
2.) Clinton
3.) Regan

H.W. Bush
W. Bush


regan is about as far back as i can go where i was aware of politics
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

Every word of your post is raw sewage.

It's always amazing the self-induced, almost hallucinatory coginitive dissonance that people have to put themselves through to actually believe Trump is 'draining the swamp'.

Intergalactic Meathammer level stupidity.
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

It's easier to pick the 3 worst than the three best as two of the worst are so recent

1) Bush #2, going into Iraq even beat LBJ Tonkin Resolution, Immigration Act of 1965 & Great Society
2) LBJ for reasons listed above
3) Obama turned the country to far left

Best Three

1) Eisenhower
2) Trump
3) Nixon
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

Drowning in your too many mugs of Morning Joe and Zika, I see. Didnt you dream there were mosquito borne clouds in your coffee? :lamo

Argue it then.

Teddy was a misguided progressive and his cousin a guy who thought government could solve ALL problems. WRONG. FDR got rescued by America rescuing the world and motivated to become the arsenal of democracies and victors/liberators...if it were up to his centralizing govt policies alone we, and the world, would probably still be in the Great Depression.

The guy could inspire with his speeches, I will grant him that.


Slendermn has undermined almost every facet of what America has acheived and stands for. He was embarrased by old America and therefore wanted to fundamentally change us. America didnt want what he was giving away for free.

Oh really? And how exactly did you and Alex come up with that particular fairy tale? There's no point in indulging your ramblings about "Zika" regardless.

Teddy was a guy who, again, actually put his ass on the line for America. He was by no means "misguided" in the first place. without FDR America wouldn't have "rescued" anyone; we would have sunk into a morass of isolationism, propelled by traitors like the German American Bund. The fact of the matter is that his policies worked out the best for the country; the US finally took on Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.

Trump supporters have repeatedly embarrassed this country far more than Obama could do in a hundred life times, whether it's their support for his attacks on POWs or, as one Trump cultist declared on this board, their belief that wearing a t-shirt with the flag of Puerto Rico on it makes you a "militant ethnic" and "anti American".

Trump outdoing Eisenhower? Yeah, okay.
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

That wouldn't be hard now would it. I guess Ike wasn't that bad for sleepwalking through his presidency.

Granted, Eisenhower had the privilege of steering one of America's strongest economies, but he did a lot of good. He sponsored and signed the Civil Rights Act of `957 (the first since the Reconstruction), the Federal Aid Highway Act, balanced the budget three times, refused to raise defense spending, ended a war, and did not start another one.

Being the resident raw sewage guy, seems you should be an expert.

But the takes one to know one is far beyond your exponential excre-mentally insane capacities. Do you think, for even a moment, that thinkers here actually ponder your not even adequate as a decent fertilizer posts, do you? (That diaper is full, bro, change it )

Or swat them away like an annoying mosquito?

SLAP!!!
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

Trump outdoing Eisenhower? Yeah, okay.

trump hasn’t a clue about the Eisenhower Interstate system, let alone have any idea how to completely overhaul our entire Infrastructure Grid, which the gop House has ignored since 2011.

trump can’t even get a farm bill now, with the hastert 218 rule, and to mention how trump tariffs are destroying his very farm and rural base.

trump has nothing to show but worldwide embarrassment and scorn for the usa, a disaster for trade and foreign policy, dangerous exposure to our enemies, and goPC cultural warfare tearing the Nation apart.

All trump’s people do is make up lies, assign them to you, and play their false equivalency games. The jury is still out as to how successful Dems will be in counter attacking the goPC strategy that has won the federal courts top to bottom for the next 30 years.
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

Trump outdoing Eisenhower? Yeah, okay.

Oh, dont get me wrong, Ike was great.

Along with his hard work he had the good luck of appointing 5 supremes. He ended the Korean Conflict (but didnt resolve the situation). He allowed and maintained the build up of the MIC, didnt do much of a damn thing for tax relief (during the eight years of the Eisenhower presidency, from 1953 to 1961, the top marginal rate was a whopping 91 percent).

He did take on the Democrats on segregation, did the actual heavy lifting, the work of Truman's great move to desegregate the military, his newly appointed chief justice Warren shepherded Brown v Board to victory, took on Gov Faubus in Arkansas sending Federal troops into an unwelcoming Democrat southern state for the first time since the civil war to defend that decision...His CRA '57 as you mentioned and VRA '60 were the first of their kind since the late 1800s.

He was also the beneficiary of an America after WW2 that really had no industrial competition worldwide...so American jobs were plentiful and well paying comparatively.

His total 8 was pretty monumental... but Trump is taking on the MIC and TIM swamp. In a much more competive world Trump is reducng/reforming taxes, reducing unemployment, bringing back industry and manufacturing, overseeing wage increases, is rebuilding a sorely neglected military, has decimated ISIS, is holding our free loading NATO partners feet to the fire, is making steady progress on our out of control immigration ...is making progress on that many decades now neglected Korean peninsular problem...

And he has, so far, made two appointments to the SCOTUS...Gorsuch probably already a better pick than any of the 5 by Ike... and Kav will probably be as well...the Don has only been in a year ad a half, remember.

So, as you said, yeah...

Doesn't that violate the McConnell rule?
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

Your historical illiteracy is matched only by your verbosity.

Ahhh, the other resident sewage expert.

In this one thread, already, I have brought more pertinent historical facts to bear than you have in perhaps your entire time on this site.
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

Politics of taxes aside, that is what almost every Republican does. Following the party platform blueprint does not make one stand above the rest.



reducing unemployment,

Wasn't long ago that the improving unemployment numbers were dismissed by Trump when it was under Obama. Oh, but now that Trump is president those numbers are no longer fake...

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive...conomy/the-economy-under-president-trump.html

^Unemployment been on a steady decline since 2010. Remember, Obama was president for six of those eight years. Doubt you were giving him credit, then...

bringing back industry and manufacturing,

No, he is driving it overseas with his trade war. But that should be perfectly okay to Trump, after all, Trump products are made overseas, too.

overseeing wage increases,

Not for the middle class. And if the GOP continue to get their way they'll continue to devastate the middle class by destroying unions.

is rebuilding a sorely neglected military,

Military spending goes down when you wrap up wars. Are you really arguing the military should have the same budget with no wars as it would with two wars?

has decimated ISIS,

3/4 of the military operation to take out ISIS was during Obama's Administration so that means you would have to give Obama 3/4 of the credit.

is holding our free loading NATO partners feet to the fire,

But Putin is fine. We're fine. We're people.

is making steady progress on our out of control immigration

As long as the Central American countries see turmoil we will continue to see them crossing that border.


...is making progress on that many decades now neglected Korean peninsular problem...

Lol, what progress? All that he did was shake Kim's hand and tweet that we could sleep soundly now. Meanwhile, satellite images show NK is continuing to build up their nuclear sites...

And he has, so far, made two appointments to the SCOTUS...

Which any Republican would have made. Even a monkey would pick the 'right' justice if trained to do so.

Gorsuch probably already a better pick than any of the 5 by Ike.

No, Gorsuch does not beat Warren. Nowhere close.

.. and Kav will probably be as well...

Kav is a Bu****e. He's part of that 'swamp' you guys squeal about.

Obama saved the world from total economic meltdown despite the knuckle-dragging gop.

He was replaced by a man who will be regarded as the single most pathetic historical figure in American history.

Jefferson Davis and Benedict Arnold have a soulmate in Donald Trump.

Trump really has dragged us down pretty far in a very short time. He’s also exposed the lie: US is the good guy.

Sorry, it is hard for me to waste a lot of time on such shallow assertions, reading that thin layer of fertilizer spread so wide just makes me mighty sleepy. Yawn.

I will take just the one, NK. So with your astute and keen observance, youve noticed no improvement in the situation since Trumps election? None? And you actually think I should take you seriously?

How many missile launches or underground tests since Trump started in earnest concentrating, bearing down on the NK sitution at the end of last year? Did we get any hostages back by any chance? Did we have to pay a ransom?

Has Kim made any extraordinary overtures, participating in the Olympics, first time ever for a NK leader stepping across the DMZ hugging his SK counterpart, attending a prelimary anti nuke oeninsula specified beforehand summit with both leaders, Trump and Kim meeting in Singapore.

Go ahead, list the positve headway made there by ANY other president. Thanks for making me sleepy, I awoke too early this morning.

You are still not woke.
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

I voted Obama BUT Clinton was a very close second; interesting thing, I never voted for either one & had two opportunities to vote for both.

Reagan is IMO 'the father of exponential deficit spending' in America. I will never understand why so many believe this 'actor' was even an average POTUS. Reagan made it acceptable to destroy our own nation with DEBT. I voted Reagan in the 1980 election BUT I did not make that mistake in 1984 ........

Trump is by FAAAAAAAAAAAAR the worst of the ten presidents listed but IMO he will go down in history as the worst of ALL presidents.
It is still difficult to believe that ~60 Americans were dumb enuff to fall for Trump's bull****.
Just ****ing unbelievable, in the worst way ..........

Obama was the best, or most liked? It says Obama was most favored in the younger generation, which tells me they are basing it on personality. Based on personality, I totally agree.
 
Re: Best President in Your Lifetime

I went with Obama. I don't think he was a particularly amazing president, but I don't have all that many choices to pick from. Reagan, Bush Sr. and Clinton were all presidents during my lifetime, but I was too young to pay attention to politics during their presidencies. And Obama handily beats out both Bush Jr. and Trump.
