Clinton's presidency set the stage for GWB's reactionary presidency ... it's cause and effect. |

I am not a student of presidential political history - however, I voted for GWB because I can't imagine any previous president mucking up things worse than he is, and the country still be in existence.

Let's face it, Iraq is a big deal in the news. Without Iraq though look at what Americans are griping about, immigration, health care, gasoline prices, government debt, etc. Things Americans always gripe about. If Bush had put off dealing with terrorists like Clinton did, what is worse about his Presidency than say Clintons. |

You really need a better imagination. Buchanan's inaction led to a freakin' Civil War. Few things are worse on a nations' morale than that.

Most people's historical perspective begins with the day of their birth.

Buchanan didn't cause the civil war. Get real. Nobody tried harder to stop it than Lincoln. He even wanted the federal government to buy the slaves from the landowners over time. The civil war was foreordained and bound to happen. Our civil rights baptism of blood. Our great spiritual crucible. You demean it when you say Buchanan caused it.

This has little bearing on the current discussion, but I thought it was interesting.

Tex, this comment is as unimaginitive as santos saying everyone's a racist. I'd expect more from you. However, I can understand why you would say that about yourself, which is why some find you so offensive. Some people work hard to overcome that natural handicap we're all dealt. Personally, I think U.S. history needs to be viewed from a 3,000 year perspective or it loses most of its meaning. FWIW, the Mormon Church's hostility to historical perspective is the thing that disturbs me most about it.

Does anyone know. Has any President had positive approval ratings in the 3rd year of his second term.
The poll that shows how out of touch Americans are is the right path wrong path poll. Each American takes their own pet peeve, war, immigration, health care spending, etc. and focus's on that. Wrong path. Heck, if they asked me I might say wrong path. Dems won the congress and might win the Presidency. That's wrong path as far as I am concerned. |
