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

clinton getting the deficit to 0 was dope, but obama is already making big changes in office. he can probably turn this country around.

Darn, beat me to it. It was set up n' everything.

My favorite President was definitely Bill Clinton. He worked hard, and got some ass while he did it.

While I don't hate Nixon, he was probably my least favorite, just for acting a fool for the majority of the end of his term.

Favorite Ice cream flavor is probably Orange Creamsicle.

Aw come on. You have to love Nixon! He made carpet bombing cool again.

True... hmmm...

Fine, what the hell, I'll say Bush then.

Favorite- Abraham Lincoln
Least favorite- George Bush (Cuz he made US economy goes down)

Favorite ice-cream: Vanilla

I remember when I was a "republican". Good times.

Favorite: none
Least Favorite: First reaction is Bush because I've had the most knowledge about him but I'm pretty damn sure there have been worse presidents. So again, nobody.

ice cream: cookies and cream

oh monica I love ya!

Actually, it's been proven that it wasn't Bush's fault; it would've happened if Kerry were president instead. People took out housing loans they couldn't pay back, and that amassed into a massive dent in the economy.

AND CERTAIN PEOPLE, GIVE ****ING REASONS; THAT'S PART OF THE QUESTION. IF YOU'RE GONNA SAY WHAT YOU DISLIKE ABOUT SOMEONE, PLEASE SUPPORT THAT REASON WITH REAL ARGUMENTS.

william harrison anyone?

Favorite: Jimmy Carter

He fought off ****ing killer water rabbit while weilding an oar. You don't get much better than that.


Least Favorite: I don't think I have one.



Ice cream: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

I like how everyone blames Bush for what happened, when the government isn't run by JUST the president. If you're going to blame anyone, blame congress, at least they're more likely to have caused more of the problems than anyone else. Plz reeserch rulez uf YooEss Goveermentt

Favorite president would probably be George Washington. He was one of the very few presidents who actually seemed uninfluenced by lust for presidential power, and he set very good precedents for subsequent holders of the office.

Least favorite... I don't know if Obama (Mr. "Freedom of Choice" Act) counts, since he's in office right now and just started, and hasn't done much of anything yet, so I should probably say Clinton, since he was the one who committed perjury over his disgraceful "activities," vetoed a ban on partial-birth abortion, and did various appalling things described in detail in this book (and yes, I do have the book; it's a good read).


I agree with M. Bison about FDR, though; he was a TERRIBLE president. This was not only because of what M. Bison already spoke of, but also because of FDR's ordering of bombings INTENDED to kill German and Japanese civilians (women and children included) during WWII. And let's not forget his overt palling around with Stalin, and his pro-Soviet leanings.

I also see that Lincoln is commonly thought of as a great president, but I don't agree with this either. Lincoln was too power-hungry and too contemptuous of the Constitution's limitations of power. Just look at his history of suppression of freedom of speech and of the press. Even though the South was very much in the wrong about slavery, and there is no question that slavery should have been stopped somehow or other, the South had a right to secede from the Union according to the rules America was founded upon. Lincoln wasn't even anti-racist; he held racist views himself, and the real reason he was behind the war was that he wanted to keep the Union (and his power) intact.

What an amazingly shrewd and insightful post.

Especially considering it's in the GC!

I'm not even giving this topic another 12 hours. It's gonna degrade into political hateposts and trolling before too long and it's already starting to look bleak.

btw guys, I like how you're jumping on each other for having opinions. Real civil.
