Who's The MOST-Productive Ex-President?

[bendog]

Grover Cleveland. He actually became potus after he stopped being potus!

Yeah, but did he give nuclear arms to North Korea?

Smiling Jimmy has him beat!

 

[Mr. Shaman]

George W. Bush.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.....

George W. Bush.

Hoover was for years, and now maybe Bush. Democrats could not buy what those two presidents gave to the Democrats--and free. The problem is that after ever so many election cycles we have to elect a Republican to remind us of what conservatives do to to America and they have done in the past.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

That would be a tough choice, to make!!!

BILL CLINTON?

....or....

JIMMY CARTER?

This is a silly topic. I'm out!

Yeah....if I was a Republican, I'd be embarrassed, as well.​

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Even a fun topic gets trashed.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Jimmy Carter

Nixon was also very productive after he left office

Being an elder-statesman....

.....doesn't (much) qualify as (actually) producing something.

JIMMY CARTER?

If I give you my address can you send me some of the peyote cereal that you have for breakfast every morning?

You're gonna have to visit Chaco Canyon and get your own.

Every once-in-a-while, you "conservatives" need to get your own hands "dirty"....for a change.​

Herbert Hoover

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Was he? Did he find a lot of coins walking up and down the beaches of San Clemente with his baggy old shorts and metal detector?

Sorry, seriously though. I'll confess ignorance - what did he do?

After Watergate, Nixon was a recluse

But he started writing and eventually emerged as an elder statesman advising on foreign policy. While Nixon was a prick, he was very knowledgeable about foreign affairs. While he could never erase his Watergate legacy, he did salvage his reputation somewhat

Nixon was a masterful foreign policy president.....

Yeah....sure.....like the.....

....Paris peace-talks.

hoover did partially rehabilitate himself after FDR passed. He was an effective technocrat, but he lacked the vision thing.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

If we are talking about personal productivity, it has to be Carter. He has done a great deal of charitable work. Clinton has done a great deal while staying indirectly involved with politics. Bush Sr. has done a lot working quietly from the sidelines.

....Until he got shit-faced.....and, had to be escorted off-the-field.​

That joke sucked.

most productive ex-president? Kennedy, he got half the country named after him. next in line is MLK, he has a street named after him in every american city.

yes, I know MLK was not president.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Herbert Hoover worked for both Truman and Eisenhower to recommend fixing inefficiencies in government, many of which were enacted.

Ah, yes......like urban-renewal......

And we're tearing down every place Reagan rested his head.

It is not a question of rehabilitation. The question was, who was the most productive. Carter used to be fairly effective at symbolic stuff, but Hoover actually took on and administrated major tasks successfully:

Carter, not so much.

Still ... hard to beat Taft. I'm thinking chief justice of the supreme court has a pretty extensive to-do list.
