Rating of the American Presidents
((10 being the best, and 1 the worse) (From Eisenhower to Obama))
This is my personal opinion, and it is not up for debate:
1—Dwight D. Eisenhower: A Soldier, gentlemen, hardcore politician got the job done right, no coward; also a five-star General. (No: 8)
2—John F. Kennedy: A Soldier and officer; also a scholar, womanizer, and overrated by the public. Irish like me; and Christian when it suited him (sometimes). He got America into space, also in to a near war with Russia, over Cuba. And freed the slaves everyone thinks, forgetting Lincoln already did that, and too often, looked upon as a second Lincoln. And got us into a war in Asia (No: 5.5)
3—Lyndon B. Johnson: he had a nice ranch; I was at it once, other than that he was a war mongrel (sending 500,000 soldiers to Vietnam). Oh, he also carried on Kennedy’s space program, and war in Vietnam. Actually it got worse with him in office, and I got drafted to Kennedy’s war, while Johnson sat back in the White House, or at that Texas Ranch of his, pointing his fingers west. (No: 4)
4—Richard Nixon: everyone liked him in Vietnam; he was going to bomb Hanoi, and end the war, until everybody started feeling sorry for the enemy. Oh yes, he got caught doing what Obama’s folks were doing, except Nixon got the shaft. And perhaps he got a little to prideful. (No: 6)
5—Gerald R. Ford: president by proxy. If I recall right, it seemed as if he was kind of dizzy, not even aware he was president, and that he pardoned Nixon (which seemed fair to me). He didn’t do a whole lot in my book, but got a lot of pressure from his wife, who drank too much, and he tried to smooth out the ripples from the Nixon error, and he did some work with Russia on trying to put limitations on nuclear proliferation, and world fears of war, with it. (No: 5.5)
6—James Carter—A good old Baptist, but what did he do? He gave away the Panama Canal for a smile, and left 50-Americans in Iranian prisons. I was in Germany at the time, and our military forces couldn’t even get parts for the jeeps and so forth, had Russia hit us at that time, we’d all be speaking a different language. Although he did broker some peace between the Arab countries and Israel; my guess would be, he cared more for that Human Rights stuff, than, the security of the Country. He would have been a better Diplomat than a president. (No: 3.5)
7—Ronald Reagan: he scared Iran, thus, we got our 50-civilians back, and he had his tiny war with Granada, and won. He wasn’t much of a movie star, but he played his roll as president pretty well. He remembered his speeches with flare, he wasn’t afraid of Russia. And like Jericho, the Cold War, came tumbling down. Somehow he gave back to America that self confidence, lost, when we all had to leave Vietnam, after figuring out: “Why are we here in the first place?” And so we all left in a shameful way. He didn’t get too involved with the Iran and Iraq war, I say too involved, because Iran didn’t get supplied by anybody, someone had to help them. He was also Anti Abortion. (7.5)
8—George H. W. Bush: well educated, nice military background, he had to face a new world order coming around the corner, one without the Cold War. Had a quick and agreeable war with Iraq, and won, then left. He took out the dictator of Panama, with loud music. I think he got beat-up from the inside out, because he did a good job outside of America. (No: 6.5)
9—William Clinton: Like Obama, he has that happy go lucky smile, a charm, the main problem he had was Hillary, whom was always in his way, whereas, Obama, knows how to keep his wife in the shadows. Anyhow, he liked parties, women, song and merriment. Also the movie star collection at the White House, and the PLO; he did well for the Military, but had it been up to his wife, America would have been worse off than in the Carter era. He was our hippie president. His little war was in helping Europe out for the third time, now in Bosnia (a NATO thing). He also seemed to have kept the American economy rolling. (No: 6.5)
10—George W. Bush: he had that kind of dumb smile, but he was forthright, fought two wars, took out a dictator that even if he didn’t have Nukes in the backyard, did some preventive maintenance for America; a half soldier and willing to take chances; also, Anti Abortion and not afraid to say so. He formed a good working relationship with Russia, and then at the last 2.5-years of being president, he went a little steer crazy, must have fell off his rocker. Although he put a dead line on leaving Iraq, not Obama. (No: 7)
11—Barack H. Obama: less-forthright than any president I’ve yet to encounter: Hides his middle name because it is Islamic—or Arab in nature—that forthright thing again, that someone told him to erase: Anti Christian with not only his values, but in his serving the American people, in that respect; also, anti-Jewish, this can be seen, and will be even more forthcoming should he stay on the same track record; he is pro abortion, for the World Court, and in joining American forces and its power under the United Nations flag. He is for a one currency, world, now being talked about in Belgium. He does not care for public opinion; he goes against nearly all harmony, or consensus in this area (he doesn’t work with the Republicans, he works around them; it’s my way or the highway). He’s forgiven all the robbers in the multi banking business and other big businesses having to pay back billions of dollars owed Government and public in loses. And if he could he’d sell America to Mexico for a few pesos. And his stimulus program was a give away, as is the new insurance policies in America—again hogtying anyone trying to stop him. He is the only president thus far, to have done so little, in such a large amount of time for his countrymen (if indeed we are his country men, perhaps he should have been president of Kenya). He never spent a day in the Military service. He got in on a whim, the media entertained, by entertaining the public, dazzled them to death, and in so doing the world grabbed on to him as if he was their redeemer—the Black Knight. Although now his true colors are showing; you can only keep the act up for so long. (No: 2; and that’s being kind)
