"american, american, american, indonesian/kenyan,"
Ah, I'd wondered what had happened to all the no-birth-certificate, born-in-Kenya whack-a-doodles. Good to see they're still out there; I'm hoping for eight solid years of laughs from their rants. Though I suppose once we get health care fully socialized, they'll be put away in some government facility. Guantanamo will be available.
These loony-tune beliefs really do reinforce the validity of their other opinions, though. |

You have either an extremely short memory or are so partisan that your head hurts!
Clinton administration? Remember USS COLE, Kobar(sp) Towers, two blown up embassies in Africa, the first bombing of the World Trade Center and several chances to capture Osama -- and more "gates" than found on King Ranch.
Also, the democrats have been in power in congress a lot more than have the republicans since around 1933. Both parties spend like drunken sailors. The difference is that the republicans who were in office in the late 1990's and in the 2000 era went off plumb and angered republican voters so badly that many still will not vote for either party. |

I will take Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush 41 over Carter, Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43 and Obama in a fight or if I had to go to war.
Just look at how much more Presidential the top photograph looks versus the bottom. |

Makes Jimmy Carter look like the village idiot no one wants to associate with (even Obama). |

from the left - american, american, american, indonesian/kenyan, american. Change has truly come from Asia/Africa with love:) |

Obama has not governed yet, so it's not important how the single digit IQ voters or liberals rated him. After 8 years of worse failures than Bush (and I think that is an understatement) then you can rank him with other presidents who have actually made some executive decisions during tough times. The man can't even find a position on the economy when it's failing. First he was going to create 2.5M new jobs then he said he'd create and save a total of 3M jobs, now he plans to just save 2.5M jobs. He is an empty suit whose legacy will make all americans ashamed. Al Qaeda seems to think so as well - they have normally waited for presidents to get sworn in before attacking them and insulting them. Obama got his insults and more insults two weeks after his election. So much for respecting POTUS. Stop selling Obama to us, we the 47% were not hoodwinked and the other 54% will soon figure it out to their detriment. May the economic meltdown coupled with Russia's ressurgence stop Obamacide on it's tracks! |

"It's a POPULARITY POLL! It's MEANINGLESS!"
Then why are you arguing about the values?
"Also Truman left office with a 23 approval rating. If i'm wrong please post your gallop link and i'll take a look."

How's that? It's a POPULARITY POLL! It's MEANINGLESS! Also Truman left office with a 23 approval rating. If i'm wrong please post your gallop link and i'll take a look. Thanks. |

"Truman (22) was down their in Nixon (24) territory also."
But according to Gallup, Truman was at 32% when he left office (I believe you claimed something different above).
"the point i'm trying to make is that your 8:36pm post is meaningless."
How's that? It simply gave the current popularity ratings of the five guys in the second picture. Didn't mention any of the dead presidents you seem to be arguing about. |
|
is meaningless, but not because of ANY of the numbers........
It was a CNN troll-poll, for Pete's sake.......
CNN and unbiased in the same sentence???????
Balderdash!!!!! |
|
|
Well Bob, Truman (22) was down their in Nixon (24) territory also. So I guess the point i'm trying to make is that your 8:36pm post is meaningless. |

You do know Jan 15th is the date Presidents-elect are TRADITIONALY invited to move into Blair House and the Obama family was (FOR SOME TIME) scheduled for that date? Oh and Reagan Never stayed at Blair as the Pres.-elect and Bush held true to tradition and arrived on the 17th. The Obama's brought them girl's to D.C. in late DECEMBER not the Bushes, so direct your "howls of rabid outrage" where it belongs. |
|
"When Truman left office his approval ratiing was in the low twenties, what's it now? ... Carter had a 34 approval rating when he left office and it's 64 now."
So your point is that sometimes ratings improve with time? So what? Sometimes they get worse. I doubt that Nixon has gone up, for example, and W. is down there in Nixon territory. |

"his referenced poll WAS NOT a Gallup poll....
It was a CNN opinion poll."
That's right; the poll was CNN/Opinion Research Corp. I don't know where I got the idea it was Gallup. (True, Opinion Research Corp was founded by George Gallup -- in 1938 -- but I didn't know that until just now. He left in 1939.)
My apologies. |
|
or is it Mr. WindowCleaner????
caught lying again.......
his referenced poll WAS NOT a Gallup poll....
It was a CNN opinion poll......
CNN = Clinton News Network....or is it also the Carter News Network........
Poll totally biased by the liberal CNN-watching trolls........
Alert over!!!!
Continue disregarding Munckey Dung........as per normal...... |
|
|
Carter had a 34 approval rating when he left office and it's 64 now. Like I said, get back to us in 30 years! |
|
"Imagine the outcry and howls of rabid outrage if Clinton or Carter had done such a classless maneuver"
The Clintons were too busy pardining criminals, stealing everything that wasn't nailed down and doing such classy things as removing the "W" keys from the computers. Yeah, real class act they were.
I see Lola is now "imagining" faux outrages. What's up? Run out of real outrages to be a whiny miserable bee-hitch about?
|
|
|
When Truman left office his approval ratiing was in the low twenties, what's it now? Get back to us in ten, twenty, maybe thirty years and we'll talk about it. |
|
what I was referencing to was picture #2......
Take Reagan out of picture #1, and you don't have much there either..... |
|
To find REAL Presidential leadership you would have to have Reagan, JFK, Truman, Eisenhower, Lincoln, Washington, etc., in the photo......
What you have pictured is scarier than an Atlanta homicide lineup...... |
|
Obama 82%
Clinton 69%
Carter 64%
Bush I 60%
Bush II 27%

Apart from the substance of the two gatherings is the aesthetics of the 1981 photo. It is a wonderful picture.
The glint of sun that filters Richard Nixon’s swept back hair gives him the appearance of a great head. How appropriate.
President Ford, straight and true.
President Carter always the lost man among his equals remains constant with his ‘Jimmy’ smile that stays in place despite his legacy to the country.
Vice President Bush, American Patrician; ‘Mr. steady as it goes.’
Then there is Ronald Prescott Reagan, reminding histories viewers that it is his invitation to the others that has them looking forward at a photographer whose picture is not this one as Reagan smiles at the viewer with his mischievous secret that binds us to him with him forever.
Black and white photography gives an etch to the moment and makes that moment timeless.

But Clinton's legacy is a stained blue dress and failed foreign policies that led to 9/11. Carter's legacy are gas lines, malaise and a Iranian Mullacracy. W's legacy will be a successful Iraq despite the best efforts of traitors such as you and your ilk to ensure American defeat. His domestic legacy will show that he was successful until he became a Democrat-lite President. |
|
Only W could make Carter look good.
God, history will DESTROY this failed administration. I just hope they all live long enough to be forced to see it happen. |
|
|
I'll agree that of the 4 ex-Presidents there, Clinton was by far the best (of the worst). But get over it. All politicians are morons. That's why our founders wanted as few of them as possible. The answer doesn't lie in a Democratic OR Republican dictatorship. |
|
|
Heck, I'd take just Reagan himself into any fight! All the other bozos would just get in the way |
