Clinton had some popularity but many of his policies were divisive. I forget about Ike, but other than the slogan "I like Ike", I can't remember much. I'd say, Carter, LBJ and then Bush. People forget what a mess LBJ created in Vietnam. Nixon was a lousy economic president but remember him fondly for opening up China.

Clinton was the best politician I've ever seen and that isn't a good thing.

However, in an effort to be balanced, he eventually became pro-active in Civil Rights....although he didnt draft the proposal, his brother did. Whoops, there went my balance! Perhaps Kennedy's biggest contribution to society was to serve as the inspiration for "Mayor Quimby."

Put 25 years between you and GWB, and I'll bet you feel differently.

And for the record, 25 years isnt nearly enough distance between me and that fool. He is the best candidate conservative Reps could come up with? There are no smarter, more engaging leaders in the ranks than him? The biggest critic of W should be his brother, Jeb. But for W's moronic incompetency and unparalled negative perception across the globe and within his own party, Jeb was a legitimate Presidential candidate. Now, due to Bush Shock, Jeb's political career is largely over. I cant help but think that at the next family reunion, when the two brothers are sitting on the porch sipping lemonade, sitting in wicker chairs, looking out towards the horizon into a beautiful Maine sunset, and silently pondering their respective pasts accomplishments and future opportunities, Jeb turns to his brother and says, "Thanks a lot, a-hole."

I guess I could give Kennedy a break, because as my Mom, who really does try to see the best in everyone, told me "Pres. Kennedy was having back problems. It would be tough to have to make decisions for an entire country when you're feeling miserable."

It took Supreme Court intervention for Bush to finally claim the presidency. Hail to the Thief! Kerry was done in by the genius of most recent geniuses, Karl Rove. Kerry was looking good until Swift Boat became an issue. Karl Rove is a brilliant strategist, and I mean that sincerely. No joke. Dems will have the last laugh in 2008 when a Lesbian takes office. It will be sweet when Monica Lewinsky becomes the first person to have an affair with 2 different Presidents in the Oval office....

Gore, Kerry, now those would have been real disasters.
