Who really was the last decent US president?

[Truthseeker82Participant 6406]

I was born in 1960 so I grew up with Kennedy, Johnson , Nixon etc. The last 30 years or so the quality of our leaders has seemed to degrade terribly. Was wondering who our other US brothers think was the last truly respectable and accomplished US leader?

I was born a year before you and I’m going to go with Andrew Jackson. Anybody who gets rid of a central bank is a good president. Nothing’s going to change nothing has changed it’s always two sides of the same coin.

I personally think Reagan was the greatest president we have had in the modern era. America was actually prosperous and respected. I wish the same could be said today…

Thomas Jefferson
Andrew Jackson
Runner up would be Ronald Reagan first term, second term I think was Nancy.

Eisenhower in my opinion was the last good president. He had the U2 incident, I believe others. I can’t recall them now.

He understood the presidents role in the republic. He didn’t outwardly seem beholden to a million different special interests that put him in office.

Operation overlord was a huge victory against the Axis forces. He navigated the politics of 7 different Allies nations armed forces.

He retired to be a professor after the war. The US had relative international after some of the Truman blunders.

The nation hasn’t had an individual close to his caliber since. Though Tricky Dick never even would have got a whiff of the oval office without Eisenhower. So you take what you can get.

Obama!

JUST kidding.
I have no favorites but Kennedy immediately comes to mind. I didn’t live in his era but I like the space program he got going and how he handled the Russians of his time.
I also like Lincoln.

I would have said Reagan except that he was the one that really got the deficit spending going. That’s been a s~~~ show every since. You can look like you’re doing great when you are running up the credit card and leave the bill to the next guy.

I think I would go with Untamed on that one.

I’m not American but what Tattoo Dave said was what I was thinking.

The globe’s central bankers are to blame for almost all human misery.

I’d say Thomas Jefferson.

Andrew Jackson had many character flaws, but I do admire him for one thing: he was fiscally conservative. He made sure our government paid its debts! And I wish we could have another president that was a fiscal conservative. Most Libertarians, I think, would be willing to devise a plan to get this country out of debt.

I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

I would agree that Jefferson was the most important for the very reason he sat down and wrote your Constitution.

the president I remember that had a real impact on me was Reagan. Under him the US almost got it right economically. If he had followed his gut very likely the world would not be in the financial crisis it is in today.

Unbacked paper currency, the draft, and domestically hated throughout his presidency. Paved the way for Jim Crow in the Union, profiteering carpet baggers, Federal government carte blanche.

I’m no southern son, but he’s a clear example of “the road to hell is paved with good intentions.” -edit

I don’t think Jimmy Carter ever got caught with is pants down. that’s decent. I’ll say Jimmy cause he legalized home brewing too.

Hard to argue with this. The fact that they’re replacing him on the $20 bill with a black woman shows how much the political elite despise him, which is always a good sign.

Women are better at multitasking? Fucking up several things at once is not multitasking.

Do you seriously thing they will stop with him? I am sure in time they will all be replaced with women and minorities, and SJW heroes (Caitlyn Jenner?) except maybe George Washington and Abe Lincoln.

Statues and busts of old white men are being pulled down, and buildings renamed at colleges all over the country.

Reagan, Eisenhower, and I am going to throw in Nixon (if you look at his actual accomplishments and not just Watergate.)
Bush Sr. wasn’t bad either, though his son was horrible, mostly because of old man Chaney and Rummysfeld.

Though I don’t like him, Clinton did ok with the economy, but he opened the door for all this sJW BS we are stuck with now, and he weakened us internationally.

Obama clearly the worst.
