I found it surprising to see an article slamming Democrats. After Clinton was elected in 1992, many people breathed a sigh of relief as they thought the the horrors of the Reagen-Bush era were over.…

    Throughout the years, the United States has experienced the reigns of many of presidents. Some of these presidents having the admiration of the public for being one of the best presidents, and some just have the scum left on the floor. In my opinion one of the best presidents we have had up to date was Lyndon B. Johnson for his hardy attitude, and having the knowledge to comprehend what he can and cannot do. The worst president goes to Bill Clinton for his wishy-washy, hardheaded decision-making, and for risking national security for personal affairs.…

    Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington were all impeccable leaders. Jefferson had a massive impact on our country, and we may not even be here if it weren't for Washington and his time served as general during the Revolutionary War. But, the achievements made by them do not necessarily reflect on how strong of a president they were. President Lincoln not only was the figurehead for the abolishment of slavery, but he stood as this figurehead when a vast majority of the nation believed strongly against him. He worked tirelessly at ending slavery and did it ever so strategically and fairly that to argue against him being the strongest president listed would be absurd.…

I also think he had a lot of knowledge and tried new things out, and was very succesful with the outcomes and ideas.…

    Even though Reagan and Bush were republican presidents and Clinton was a democratic president their polies were very alike and in some cases almost identical. Clinton’s policies were really more conservative than liberal. To start off, each of these presidents were elected during times of very low voter moral. United States citizens were not excited about government in general during this time, as well as the Reagan Bush eras. It did not matter if you were democratic or republican, citizens most likely did not trust you and did not have much faith in you.…
