Favorite President

[akiak]

Who was the greatest President of all times.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Well Clinton had a few "most" so maybe him. I mean he was the most Corrupt, the most unethical, and the most untruthful. Add in he beat a slam dunk charge of perjury before the US Senate. I mean there was no doubt the charge was true yet he was found , by the Senate, to have NOT lied to a Judge.

All that has to count for SOMETHING.

Not to mention the fact he had almost no money before becoming President and is now worth MILLIONS. And his wife is worth even more MILLIONS. Of course we all knew how smart and capable she was, I mean she invested 1000 dollars and a few months later EARNED 100,000 dollars. We just need to be thankful she didn't move to stock trading, she would own the world by now with those kind of profits.

 

[Shogun]

MOST corrupt and unethical? You, sir, are not familiar with over half of our nations presidents.




didnt we have this same poll not too long ago?

Chester Arthur.

Why you ask? Two reasons, really:

1. Can any of you tell me anything about him without looking him up?

Clearly what we need are more POTUSs who leave office and nobody can remember a damned thing about what they did or did not do.

2. Coolest muttonchops

And a republican also....He's just the man we need in todays office. Anti-monopoly and big business. Anti-immigration, etc....It's funny an advocate of anti-immigration was Irish...lol. Anyway, I'd have to agree with you on this one.

He was Collector of the Port of New York and the 21st President. I learned that from the movie Die Hard 3.

Then why wouldn't you choose William Henry Harrison? He contracted pneumonia weeks into his presidency and died.

George Washington. He could have been King but turned it down. He also set the standard for term limits.

 

[Rhys]

Carter, clearly - but the country wasn't up to his standard and he was betrayed into playing cowboys. Pity about that.

Carter may have the best of intentions ideologically, but he was one sorry President. He wasn't suited to the job.

What I was going to say.

I'm also partial to John Adams, not because of his presidency, but what a great whiner!

The Adult Film Association of America, the AFAA, was the first American association of pornographic film producers. It fought against censorship laws, attempted to defend the industry against prosecution for obscenity, and held an annual adult film awards ceremony.

It was founded in 1969 in Kansas City, with Sam Chernoff of Astro-Jemco Film Co. as the first president.

i.e. He saw the world as it is, respected other people and was a Christian rather than 'religious-for-business-reasons'. A sorry fellow indeed! The best President you've had so far, however.

He actually makes the list of "Worst Presidents in US History."

The 10 Worst Presidents

And no, he didn't and still does not see the world as it is. He's got a pair of ideological socialist utopian glasses on that completely block out reality.

Had he been a military commander in charge of a unit instead of President he'd have been relieved for cause if he screwed up on the same scale in the militay as he did as President.

I'm trying not to assume here, but my guess is you wear those same glasses he does. No thanks. You can have them.

Who made that list then, God? I'm afraid you haven't said anything here except that you don't like other people to have opinions of their own, especially in opposing imperialism. I'll wear what glasses I choose to, matey.

Rhys asks:

The readers of US NEWS and World Report.

Great. "Another" one.

This is a political debate message board. You are entitled to your opinion and to post it, and I have done absolutely nothing to deny you that privilege. It however is my, and any other member who wishes to's privilege, to disagree with that opinion and respond to it. That would pretty-much be in keeping with the nature of a message board dedicated to political debate.

Feel free to wear whatever glasses you choose to, but to quote an old addage: "don't piss down my back and try to tell me it's raining." The facts do not support you; and, in true denialist fashion, rather than attempt to refute the facts presented you have to question the source, and build yourself some strawmen to attack.

The source is US News and World Report, a rather respected one, and it happened to be the first one on the list, so my choice of source was arbitrary. If you have a problem with that source, feel free to contact the editor of the publication.

Otherwise, feel free to war whatever glasses you so desire and hold whatever opinions you wish, and I will continue to not give a shit ... matey.

You know, IMO, I think Theodore Roosevelt ranks up there with some of the top ones. I've always liked him.

 

[Paulie]

Andrew Jackson.

Not only did he kill the central bank in the face of adversity, he avoided assassination at point blank range when his magical powers caused the gun to jam before he grabbed that gun and bludgeoned his would-be assassin with it.

You can't touch that.

Oh, I don't know about that. This might come close...

Teddy Roosevelt took a pistol shot to the chest, (admittedly it was only a flesh wound as the bullet was slowed by the manuscipt he was holding)and then, undaunted, Teddy went on to give a two hour speech.

They're not making Preidents like that anymore.
