Re: Best President in Your Lifetime
What is your basis?
Simply being our first actual black president, since BJ was considered the 1st in spirit, doesnt truly qualify one. I would agree that being a poor president with a very sluggish economy, being noticeably lost, lazy and flat out wrong in his world view politics domestically and internationally yet still getting reelected was some mean feat he achieved.
With subterfuge it should be added.
He WAS probably ranked one of the better politicians, he could charm the herd being led to its slaughter...damn but did he do a great job exposing and decimating the Democrat party. Best thing EVER for the GOP. And for that we are eternally grateful.
But his mark, except in the realm of really bad, will be soon forgotten.
Especially compared right alongside the Don. Slenderman looks embarrassingly bad. Such is life.
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.
