Underrated Presidents

[Voice of Reason]

Yes, I have a long and distinguished record on here of offering only "brainwashed" questions.

 

I apologize for the snippy response. I took your question as rhetorical versus a legitimate question. I had it in my head that someone would immediately jump down my throat for suggesting Clinton as being under rated so when your question came through, I thought you were questioning whether Clinton accomplished anything. Sorry about that.

And George W was one of the best Democratic presidents. His overboard spending and economic policies were about as unrepublican as could be.

 

Touche ... and some truth in jest. W did in many ways fulfill the sterotype of what a Democratic president would do.

But how much of the economic boom of the 1990's can be accredited to what reagan did in the 1980s? How logical is it to conclude that what a president does will reach its result while that same man is still in office? And can a president actually fix or destroy the American economy. I personally feel that the economy rises and falls like a wave and there is not much a president can do to affect it.

 

If Clinton's accomplishments were only economy related, you would have a good point. But as mcpapa's post and link above point out, there were many accomplishments beyond those related to a booming economy.
