A Question to Americans

Cheers… Wow I learned something today :slight_smile:

Now, who was the worst?

I’d have to say Wilson. He gave us the Income Tax (unconstitutional) and the Federal Reserve (unconstitutional). The last was beyond belief, due to America’s previous experiences with central banks.

Nicholas Biddle tried the same shit as Morgan and Rockefeller, but Andy Jackson (one of the best ever) beat his ass. With Wilson though, the big money boys made sure they had the right human vacuum (Wilson) in place first.

Honestly, all of our Presidents have sucked…

Which says a lot about our population since they are representatives of the people…

Since 1900, FDR hands down followed by Eisenhower. I know on the right, Reagan is considered a political God, but really. Did he get rid of one single FDR social program or even LBJ social program? Not that I’m aware of. Now his one of his GOP successors GWB has added tremendously to those programs. His worshippers claim he “won the Cold War” My question is How? The Soviet Union dissolved while his successor Bush was President.

Gorbachev is directly responsible for Glasnost and that sort of got away from him. Many people think Afghanistan caused the end of the Soviet Union. Jimmy Carter and Zbigniew Brzezinki lured the Soviets into invading Afgahistan and then began funding and training mujadeen. They wanted to give the Soviets their own “Viet Nam.” Of course now under GWB we’re getting our own “Afghanistan” in Iraq.

Don't get me wrong, I voted for Reagan and think he did a lot of good.  He was optimistic and upbeat and this was a good contrast with Carter's gloominess. He put the emphasis on market solutions to essentially economic problems. That is a good thing. Reagan pulled out of Lebanon after the bombing and refused to get us involved in the Middle East quagmire. Even though his admin was hurt by Iran/Contra.  Down side...His admin. backed and built up Saddam. But other than supporting the AFghan mujadeen he avoided the middle east and that was wise.

That is the correct answer. That is, if the question is stated as, whomever thinks FDR was a great president, raise your hand.

You know there are many that vote Abe as one of our best and one of our worst.
The first true dictator
Suspension of habeas corpus
Harsh to those critical of him
shut down newspapers

But he did have a love for the union. That meant stripping states of their sovereign status.

My vote is for Dutch.

Dutch? From Predator? That would be soo awesome :wink:

Nixon, Reagan, or Teddy.

Theodore Roosevelt was the only great president the United States had in the 20th Century.

We have had no great ones, and few good ones, since.

In my decidedly unhumble opinion.

Imagine that you are extremely wealthy. Now, if you don’t run the show, someone else will who will be working for HIS interests and not yours. You therefore capture and monopolize both political parties and create training clubs, like the Rhodes Scholars or the CFR, from whom you choose your puppet-candidates. So, in essence, you’re asking who the best puppet was, when asking this question.

The best president must then be Eisenhower, since he admitted he was a puppet, assuming of course that integrity and honour are the standards of measure.[/quote]

Good to see other’s out there know the real story. But the rich boys club didn’t really have a stranglehold until WWI or so. I throw my vote in with the Teddy Roosevelt crowd.
