Who Do You Think Was The Best President?

[Nihil Obstat]

I'm interested to hear what you all pick, and the reasons behind it.
I didn't include a 'none' option, because even if you didn't like any of them, I want to hear who was the least terrible.

Happy voting.

In terms of what?

How much you agree with them and in your opinion, how good a job they did while in office.

I really don't like what I know about Clinton and Reagan. In fact I think both commited war crimes. I thought Eisenhower, Carter and Bush Sr. had their moments.

I thought George Jr. had his moments but they were so overcast with his many screw ups that they seem kind of insignificant.

So you voted Obama?

(I only ask because so far I have one vote.)

Yeah. But that was mostly to skew the results

Honestly. I'm one of those people who would have voted for Bush over Gore regarding who'd I'd rather have a beer with. I think he seems like a good guy, in then he's well meaning. I'd hang out with him. I just think he had no buisness beign President. It's not personal.

What about TeddyR?

His reign was pre-1930.

I'd like him more if he hadn't approved Operation AJAX

If I were ever to take over a country, I would definitely stage a coup.

[Nihil Obstat]

I picked 1930 as my cutoff date because I find modern politican history more interesting than, say, the 1800s. It just so happened that the number of presidents worked out nearly perfectly for my number of allowed poll questions.

Eisenhower was from the best state in the Union.

I took you more for the Franco type, in terms of people involved in coups.

[Resurrexi]

Franco was a great dictator.

Well as far as dictators go, he wasn't the worst.
