Who was the President before Bill Clinton(from the President before Clinton and up are the Presidents I have seen)?
George Bush must have really made a lasting impression on you.
[edit]Also, judging from your profile, Clinton was the president when you were born, so the answer would be 3.

From what my Dad tells me,Reagen(I was a baby at the time) was the best president of his time.
That's what a LOT of 45s and up tell me. But, I don't see anything awesome about his presidency other than an attempt, at the beginning, to get back to what a classical republican is: small, efficient, limited government. But...it doesn't go beyond an attempt. I don't read in my history books about tons of government programs being dissembled...bla bla bla, and so forth.

An article on his expenses http://swampland.blogs.time.com/2010/01/25/too-dumb-to-thrive/#more-20613
BTW, he does an A-1 job with his foreign policies. He makes Chavez look like a retard and an ass by keeping his cool and doing his job. As for Haïti, nothing to say about it, the guy did the right thing.
I hope you elect him for another 4 years, next time.

Not even for Ron Paul? Peace and blessings be forever upon his hallowed name.
yeah actually Ron Paul would have been a good president.He was the one candidate who was for the people and believes in the constitution.Thats why he will never get elected.
This video below is a video every american should watch and listen to about Obama.You'll understand why until we get a third party president in there or someone like ron paul,why america will never be the america again that our forefathers faught for.
What if Ron Paul is just another politician talented in rhetoric? How do you know he is really for the people? Why believe he would do anything he says or be any different from any other president?
And why are the ideals of the founding fathers sacred? That was 230 odd years ago. Different times demand different ideals.

So you dont believe in the constitution and bill of rights? dont know how you can even call yourself an american. sorry but I DO believe in them and expect the president to abide by them.different times my foot.
I want a government of the people,for the people, and by the people
like our constitution says it should be.NOT one controlled by big corporations like we have now. instead of asking all these questions,you need to watch that video.Then you'll have the answers to those questions.

Ron Paul makes me really uncomfortable. I think libertarianism is just crazy and his whole association with the GOA and his propensity to attract crazy people makes me nervous.
fair enough but I would feel far more comfortable with him as president now than the jerk we have in office now or any of the other candidates that were running.

Well considering he apparently wants to get rid of a good number of government agencies, I can see why.
The man has a tenuous grasp on reality.
The GOA stuff scares me. For those who don't know, the Gun Owners of America is a pro-gun advocacy group that the NRA thinks is too extreme that Ron Paul has had associations with and spoken at their events. Apart from endorsing a lot of extremist candidates like Marilyn Musgrave, they have a LOT of ties and with nativist militia, and white and Aryan nationalist organizations.

I've never heard of them, although that's kinda of crazy that the NRA thinks they are too extreme.
