Considering I don't identify with either party or any ideology, this will be pretty easy.
I was very young when Nixon was around, but from what I learned about the guy he would be about a 7 (throwing out Watergate). Carter was a 4, Reagan was a 7, HW Bush also 7, Clinton 8, "W" 4 and I have Obama, "W"'s twin at a 4.
I think Reagan wasn't as conservative as people would like to think. He was the right guy at the right time, definitely a uniter. Clinton was very good (I never did vote for the guy), he was the last president who had the sense and the ability to work with the opposing party if he hadn't fucked around with skirts I would have rated him higher.
I see no difference between "W" and "O".
I was around.
I was sitting in class in High School, English Class, when the Principal came in and announced that President Kennedy had been shot and was probably going to die.
Every girl in the Class, including the Teacher, started to cry. And some of the boys.
You don't forget something like that.
That was when I started paying attention to politics.
Shortly after that I joined The Army (my folks didn't have the money for College and I joined to get the GI Bill) and they sent me to a place I'd never heard of before -- Viet Nam.
That kinda got my attention, too.
The riots in Detroit, the 82nd Airborne Division in the streets, Kent State, Woodstock, being stationed outside Boston (went on alert and put in isolation for the Roxbury Riots), walking the Streets of San Fran (Haight Ashbury), the music, the counter culture, the hippies, the drugs, MLK, the Black Panthers, Patty Hearst, Bill Ayers and the Weathermen, the SDS, School Busing....
In those days, you had to be brain dead to not be aware of politics.
And I'm telling you people right ******* now....
the Stuttering Clusterfuck is THE worst president in History.
It's not even close
