| I only feel I should comment on those who were president during my lifetime. Bush Jr is not done yet so he could be on either list. If his policies bring about a fundemental change in mideast politics then he might be on the best list.
Worst
Johnson - one word, Vietnam.
Clinton - need I say a word?
Carter - All I remember is the botched Iran hostage fiasco.
Middle
Eisenhower - A placekeeper in good times. Did not rock the boat.
Ford - forgetable
Best
Reagan - Fall of the Soviet Union, biggest tax cut in history.
Nixon - Ended Vietnam war, opened relations with China, saved the nation a painful pending impeachment by doing the right thing and resigning.
Bush Sr. - Resurgence of national pride
Kennedy - The Cuban missle crises. He stood tall and invoked the Monroe Doctrine.
Truman - Ended WWII. |
