loser_death_spiral: Without Fail: Best President in my lifetime.

That makes you under 1628, right? 'Cuz that's the only way that statement could possibly make sense.

FTFY. Did you forget the last President Bush left the country in debt to? Or the contras under Saint Ronnie where we were selling arms to the Iranians and paying off Nicaraguan death squards? How about trickle down, you know, that thing that's finally affecting the economy now by crashing it. Deregulation, becuase our children weren't getting their daily dose of lead. Oh great leaders those. Jimmy Carter was the last good president we had but he was dealing with the perfect storm of shiat at the time so nobody appreciates the fact that of the last how many leaders he's the only one who never made things WORSE during his presidency. Hell if we'd had four more years of him we'd be off oil right now. But no, wearing a sweater's for nutjobs, it's not like heating oil was running almost a thousand dollars for a month's worth last winter. OPEC sure solved that problem way better than conservation would have.

So yeah, since I wasn't old enough to see a Carter presidency Clinton has been the best one in my lifetime. He was basically the penis between two bushes, but he's had a lot of practice at that so he managed.
