[QUOTE=escamoter2;4028861]Bush and Carter were much worse than Obama. You could make an argument that Bush was the worst ever (9/11 on his watch, Katrina response botched, Iraq, intentionally outed a CIA agent, which is treason, Iran was able to become more powerful because Bush invaded Iraq, etc.). Obama isn't great, but he inherited a complete disaster so I can't completely kill him. I think Obama is going to wait until reelection before he addresses the toughest issues (of course, he could be too late by then and things may be much worse).[/QUOTE]

If Christie gets a formidable candidate to run against him (I.E. Cory Booker) he will have his hands full. He is no slam dunk to get re-elected in NJ.[/QUOTE]

Of course. Tell the GOP that. They are the ones who sent people to meet with Christie to convince him to run.

You know things are bad when you can't beat Cory Booker. I'm still waiting for Cory to fix Newark.

First, I never said I was an Obama fan either. Second, "two wars in four countries", patriot act and gitmo were things inherited from Bush (except for Libya--that's on Obama's watch). And Bush put us in more than two wars in four countries (Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen, Djibouti, Philippines, etc.).

I don't think Gitmo will ever be closed until the last prisoner dies there. Once it was opened by Bush, it opened a can of worms. I'm not sure any president, republican or democrat, will be able to close it now because (1) nobody wants to put the prisoners in the USA, (2) the countries of origin will not take them back and (3) we believe based on the Bush administration's statements that some of the people we did free went back to fighting against us.

Obamacare is an unknown at this point. It gave people more coverage (e.g., preexisting condition), but the actual long-term effect is unknown, good or bad. I'm sure the Republicans will try to repeal it either way because of the HMO donations. Who knows what we will be left with.

Third, they have defend the Paul Ryan major Medicare fail. Tough to do.

The democrats in the House have already announced a jobs bill

President Obama will have strong coat tails in this election. He just killed OBL. Huge!!!!!

The Unions are very organized for this election and very spirited.

Young people will again be inspired to vote democrat (OBL Hangover) Democrats are strong on defense of the nation

Finally, the Latin vote will go to the Democrats and the republicans have severely hurt the bridges to the Latin community in a lot of the nation

Weak leadership in the republican party right now. Like it or not President Obama has turned the table on things for the democrats to be the favorites at this time.

[QUOTE=Tyler Durden;4028714]Name your 5 worst presidents. George W. Bush was pretty damn bad, still hard to put him in worst top 5 of all time.

Here's 10.

Warren Harding
James Buchanan
Andrew Johnson
Millard Fillmore
John Tyler
Ulysses S. Grant
Herbert Hoover
George W. Bush
Zachary Taylor
Richard Nixon

If you notice a majority of these guys were president right before Lincoln. Unlike Lincoln they were gutless when it came to slavery.[/QUOTE]

Like most lists of this nature, a very subjective list. James Buchanan is probably the worst President on that list. Other Presidents were bad, and some on that list weren't too bad.

The only reason Andrew Johnson got impeached was because he was a southern democrat who was not trusted to oversee the immediate post-civil war period.

Richard Nixon makes your list because of the Watergate scandal, but probably accomplished more in his administration then most presidents. SALT agreement with the Soviet Union, elimination of the military draft, reduction of Troops in Vietnam and the opening of the door to Red China, which BTW lead in 1979 to President Carter changing US diplomatic recognition of them as 'China' rather then Taiwan. Former President Nixon was invited back to the White House for that occasion.

I'm not arguing with your list just simply pointing out it's subjective nature.

Most things are open for debate, I don't disagree with anything you said. Watergate is the main reason for Nixon being on my list. His paranoia destroyed his presidency. Also based on the White House tapes he was also a bigot.

and Johnson probably wasn't trusted to oversee the post-civil war period because he said things like this.

"This is a country for white men, and by God, as long as I am President, it shall be a government for white men."” - President Andrew Johnson

I said a lot, not all. Obviously the Republicans aren't a good alternative right now (but keep in mind Bush did well with Latinos in 2004), more reason to stay home on election day. Democrats can't expect to keep getiing the Latino vote when they have done very little for them in return. Appointing Sonia Sotomayor is nice and all, but that's isn't enough.

Do some research into how Kennedy dealt with the Cuban Missile Crisis, and it becomes much less impressive.

The man did nothing well as President aside from getting shot in the head in public and becoming a darling of a certain generation. He is kind of like the Archie Manning of Presidents, every year he somehow gets better...even though in reality he kinda sucked.

The republicans are not a good alternative. Rubio would be lucky to get one vote outside of Florida (LOL). [B]President Obama appointed the first Latina to the SC[/B], Keep dreaming, The republicans are weak and the democrats know it. Furthermore, with the killing of OBL, the democrats are much stronger[/QUOTE] Remember when George Bush appointed a black woman to be Secretary of State? But then again, Bush "hates black people...." As for Rubio, I wonder when the Lib media attack machine starts to try to destroy his life...while we still learn strange and interesting things about our sitting President, who NOBODY properly vetted because to do so would be "racist". Then again, I'm responding to the guy who actually wrote "Democrats are strong on Defense" and "[B][I]Obama[/I][/B] just killed OBL". :rolleyes:

That and getting Marilyn Monroe into the sack. :P[/QUOTE] Do some research into how Kennedy dealt with the Cuban Missile Crisis, and it becomes much less impressive. The man did nothing well as President aside from getting shot in the head in public and becoming a darling of a certain generation. He is kind of like the Archie Manning of Presidents, every year he somehow gets better...even though in reality he kinda sucked.
