On the topic of getting stuff done, JFK and Carter got nothing done. Completely ineffectual and disrespected by Congress.

Nixon - forced to resign in the biggest modern political scandal of our time. An outright criminal and evil genius.

LBJ, so disgraced by the failure of Vietnam that he could not even run for re-election in the face of a divided country.

Bush Sr.'s ONLY success on any level at home or abroad now shown to be a failure, as he relies on his son to finish his mess.

Ford? Not gonna bother.


Men are flawed, but we don't want our leaders to be. Clinton had many flaws, which we clear for all to see. I agree with your critiques of him, but you also come across like a jilted lover who is in denial about why they liked the guy in the first place.

I'll say it again. That same fine-toothed comb you (and others) put Clinton through would absolutely shred other modern Presidents. You are holding him to a lofty standard that you are not holding others to, IMO.
