Nixon's buddies broke into FILE CABINETS. 368685[/snapback] From the people who brought you: "We'll take another 9/11 or worse because playing loud Christina Aguilara music and seeing what bomb making books the illegal Saudi guy checked out of the library are very, very bad things." "And then, we'll blame it all on the Bush gang, because hey - it's their job to counter terror while everyone gets to do exactly as they please and demand things be a certain way when we have no idea on earth what we are talking about".

KnightRider Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 (edited) Best: James Polk- He kept his campaign promises regarding Manifest Destiny by accepting Texas (actually happened he took office) into the union, and expanded the country to the west coast by negotiation with the Brits for Oregon and by war with Mexico to gain the southwest. He did all of that in one term and got the heck out of there. Lincoln- Eliminating slavery was a truly noble cause, and it is a shame the founding fathers weren't able to come up with some way of phasing it out. He had the fortitude to do what they failed to do. Truman (and Reagan, for that matter)- He did what was necessary to end the war, and saved lives in doing it. Worst: Wilson, for the income tax. FDR, for Social Security and the rest of the Raw Deal. Also for being so close to the Rosenbergs. LBJ- for not pulling out of Vietnam, a country with zero strategic value, Welfare, Medicare, etc... Clinton- A modern day Rosenberg. Lincoln- who did more to centralize government than Wilson and FDR combined.

Bill from NYC Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Not wanting to bring a premature end to your woody for Reagan, but let's try to be a little more realistic about a few things. There were not jobs galore once Reagan took over. That took time. Same with interest rates. If the economy hadn't started to perk up towards the middle to end of his first term, he could have very well been a one termer. 368608[/snapback] Yes, my choice of words did imply that the economic recovery was instant. You are right, it did take a couple of years. What are your views as to the presidencies of Reagan and Carter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we do and you're right, I'll buy you a shot and a beer in Mecca with money from my personal savings account. If you're wrong, you can buy me a glass of non-toxic water in Reaganville, C.S.A.

You do realize that Germany lost two wars, don' t you? the expression I thought, was somewhat common, used in situations when great exceptions are made.
