The following list of candidates probably would have done a better job (and they are presented in relative order of best to worst with a nod to viability with the Exception of Nader...)
1. Ralph Nader.
2. Ron Paul.
3. Herman Cain.
4. Mitt Romney.
5. Gary Johnson.
Notice how none of those were Democrats?
That is because I do not think Obama nor John Wolfe were good candidates. Nor do I think the Democratic party has many good candidates for 2016. I really think Romney would have been the best choice in 2008 and 2012 out of the major candidates. I liked Herman Cain...he would have been interesting as a US President. Keep in mind that I would prefer neither democrat not republican in office. But I do know that that is a pipe-dream so I am talking about non-pipe-dream realities, here (do not take my words as wholehearted endorsements of these candidates because we disagree on some major issues).
Andrew Cuomo seems like an excellent democratic president for 2016. He also seems like a major *sshole...but I like his type of personality. He seems to have done stuff in New York that I would largely support except for the support system for runaways (that is pretty much the only thing I strongly disagree with what he has done in his reforms).

Nixon was the worst period.
In terms of what he accomplished, he was actually a pretty competent president.

I don't like many of his talking points. I do not think he has mass appeal, either. Lastly, he's not the correct kind of *sshole but he is an *sshole.
Try this site out:
It's fun. 🙂
It generally tells you who you "side with" on political issues.
This says it all of of the empty suit in the white house
Holy shit, this site is amazing!
Here is where I fall on the political spectrum categories graph:
And here is a summary of my political issues by party:
I really like the results of that second image. I know quite a bit about each party area and, I must say, I agree with the results.
On the tests, however, I found that about 1/3 of the time, I did not fully agree with any of the choices. You can write in your answer but, imo, that throws off the results of the test.
Don't forget to rate how important those issues are to you.

Ha
Out of the Republican candidates in 2012, I liked Herman Cain more than most. 🙂
I think I had a 64% agreement with Cain on issues: the second most of any GOP candidate.

Too bad none of the sites info has anything to do with whats going on in America or the world such as, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Border Crisis, Ebola in Africa, Illegal Immigration.
It is not a news site: it is a political spectrum test.
I do not think the Ebola in Africa stuff is covered.
But, yeah, the Border Crisis, Iraq, Afghanistan, Illegal Immigration, and plenty of economic and environmental questions are present in the test. 🙂 Just be sure to click the "expand more questions" option in the areas that interest you the most.
Then take screenshots, upload them to an image hosting site, and post your results in this thread. I would be curious as to what your responses are. I secretly hope we match up so we can be BFFs (I'm not kidding). 😐

It seems like you're just reaching for anything so you can say "Obama sucks!" as much as possible, TBH.

If you don't, which I suspect because you have a phenomenon as "the right kind of ass*ole," then no. I don't understand what you mean.
Dennis Kucinich is probably the only American politician who could be called a politician.
Ron Paul comes close, but he has crazy ideas like gold or silver fixing the economy.

Yes, there are different kinds of *ssholes in this world, contrary to what Team America taught us.
I think Kucinich is the wrong kind of *sshole because he's kind of dumb (as in, not very smart). He is smart enough to get to where he is but not smart enough to do any better than Obama: he would do worse. He also is the classic type of *sshole: arrogant, talks over people, will never change his mind about stuff, and cannot admit he is ever wrong. That's not the type of *sshole you want in the White House.

WTF does this even mean? Remember Darth Jello? Do you remember that guy? Do not turn into Darth Jello. Super nice guy...but said some crazy shit (literally "crazy" people shit).

I believe Ron Paul and I had a 88% match. I do not agree with some of his economic policies, either. I strongly agree with most of his foreign policies.
I think he would have been a better choice than Obama, for sure. He may not have gotten anything done because he would have vetoed the shit out of any bill with earmarks (any fluff would instantly get vetoed, no matter what).
