I am going to disagree about Clinton.
It was during his time when the current financial crisis could have been averted.
He appointed Brooksley Born to the CFTC with virtually no power to regulate deriavatives.He then caved into pressure from Greenspan and Sumner to get rid of her.

Despite his disgraceful exit from office I vote for Nixon as doing the most good.
He got us out of Vietnam.
He enforced desgregation of Southern schools.
He startred the EPA.

I'd have to rate them like this from best to worst. Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Bush Sr., Ford, Carter, and wiping up the rear, Obama.

I would like to meet George W. Bush and Bill Clinton the most. Carter is probably the best human being of the bunch, which goes to prove that decent human beings are not necessarily good leaders.

Ironically, I think there is one good thing about Obama: he is a good father. Other than that, I cannot say one good thing about the guy.

He is lost, nothing to prepare him for his position. Makes too many darn mistakes!

Also opened up trade with China.

1. Ronald Wilson Reagan- ushered in 25 yrs of growth
2. Gerald Ford- didn't do anything... I like that
3. dh- Bill Clinton- reluctantly signed welfare reform
3. dh- Richard Nixon- did some good (Viet Nam exit, foreign relations) some bad (EPA,    wage/price freeze
5. Bush Sr- "Read my lips!"
6. Bush Jr- " What defecit?"
7. James Earl Carter- Financial disaster
8. Barak Hussein Obama- Incompetent, America hating socialist with a chip on his shoulder.

Great things can be done when working with a conservative congress !
Today we are, unfortunately, stuck with the likes of Harry Reid and San Fran Nan along with Dickie (T)urbin, Jan Shakowsky (the commie from the north shore) and Jessie Jackass Jr.
You can be pretty sure there is tyranny in the country when the government pleads the fifth
Amendment !!

I've heard Jan Shakowsky interviewed many times on WLS-AM radio. She needs to be locked in a rubber room. Regarless of party, she's nuts! ...must be the dead folks in Chicago voting again.

I can live with this list.

My favorite was John F Kennedy , I was only 5 months old when he was shot but I can only imagine how this country would have been changed for the better.

Reagan also did a good job of starting the rapid growth of our national debt.
