Favorite US president, least favorite, and why?, Also, favorite ice-cream flavors.

Favorite: Ronald Reagan. He tried to help ease tensions between America and Communist Russia. Also, SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative, AKA "Star Wars weapons") wasn't as much of a pipe dream as many thought: China has something very similar, which came around somewhat soon after Reagan's time in office. Reagan also balanced the federal budget, and slashed taxes like hell, and was involved in ripping down teh Berlin Wall. He was also the first Republican in a while to win an election by a major landslide (well, both times, actually). Mr. Gorbechev, tear down this wall.

Despise: FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt). Many praise him for ending the Depression, when it's been proven that his cockamany taxes and boosting Herbert Hoover's Agricultural Adjustment Act, which unnecessarily decimated billions of crops, EXTENDED the Depression. The AAA caused lots of trouble for farmers financially, and to certain extents, not having nearly enough food to support families. The AAA was a major reason why so many low/low-middle class people starved or had insufficient amounts of food to also support families. So if "FDR's plans were a great success" means extending the Depression and destroying billions of dollars in crops/livestock for no sane reason, they worked fine. Congratulations.

Favorite ice-cream flavor: cookies and cream.

Abraham Lincoln is the best sorcerer president of all time

George Bush was the worst because... well, lied us into a war for starters.

FDR is the best because of the way he led, and the fact that he, well MADE THE ****ING NEW DEAL.

And OP is apparently Ann Coulter because shes the only one dumb enough to not like FDR.

Also Moose Tracks

Please explain why. I'm not debunking you; I merely request you to endulge us as to why.

Favorite - Nixon
Least Favorite - Buchanan




Yeah but seriously no idea about any American presidents whatsoever. I think I vaguely learned about them for one module in GCSE History but it was a side note to the main subject matter.

I deem this topic bias!

because he hat a top hat

im canadian so I dont know much about past presidents buuuut.

Favourite- President Roosevelt

Least favourite- George Bush

Ice cream: Vanilla

The New Deal was a tyrannical approach to a predictable problem. Tax levels were raised over 60% to pay for ever-expanding welfare/government issues. The AAA being a part of it, the New Deal, as stated before, extended the Depression. FDR also blackmailed voters by threatening to take away their jobs. He packed the court (Put people in the Supreme Court only to get what they want) after the Supreme Court ruled the AAA's actions unlawful. On October 8th 1941, FDR ordered US vessels to shoot German vessels on sight. FDR lied to Congress about the USS Greer and Kearny incidents, in an attempt to get them to declare war against Germany. FDR also sent troops to occupy Greenland, Iceland and the Canary Islands without authority and illegally using conscripts.

Also, I put up a decent argument in my OP, and all you do is basically say "FDR created the New Deal. You're dumb". Way to go.

This is a bad thread that should be taken to another site by the thread creator because there is absolutely *NO WAY* that more than two or three people can actually contribute to this in *ANY* meaningful way.

The existance of this thread is proof of someone taking an interest in something out-of-the-norm and wanting their friends to be interested in it as well and, as anyone who has felt like this before knows, it almost never comes true.


M. Bison: If this thread continues, I believe you will make the same reply to every post-count-increase that follows.

I've only been alive for 3 or 4 Presidential reigns and I only remember 2 of them.

So both Bush and Obama fall under least favorites.

How can you hate a president when he's been in office for only 3 weeks durr

I was rooting for Huckabee
then McCain
and no I'm not racist, I'm Republican

I don't live in america... Lol politics!

Oh and it's definitely tiramisou (or how that's spelled)

James Buchanan came in during a time where secession was imminent and did nothing to stop it (even supporting the Lecompton Constitution in Kansas, the racist one).

Abraham Lincoln came in with a country split in half and decisively got it back together.

Ice cream is best served rocky mountain.

Favorite? George Washington - I don't need a reason
Least? - Probably Bush. Again, I don't need a reason

Fave: Regan - Ended the cold war, nearly won the entire US in the '84 elections, was an actor.
NotFave: Clinton - Hilarious but he wasn't exactly a good president.
IceCream: Mint, but the good stuff, not the green-colored kind.
It's easy to be politically correct and DESPISE BUSH GRRR

At the moment my favorite ice cream flavor would be anything focused on Reese's peanut butter cups.

Note for further posters. Please do not set yourself up for political jokes like this.
