August 27, 200323 yr anywho...it was the most overrated and underrated presidents of this past century..... all of those men have major warts. i lean toward one of the roosevelts though.
August 27, 200323 yr what was the phrase? Speak softly, but carry a big stick? I like that. Something I do every single day. I go with Clinton
August 27, 200323 yr I'm more of the opposite. Speak loudly, and hope a friend has a big stick to back you up.
August 27, 200323 yr FDR and Truman combine to beat The Japanese. Reagan is a major reason why we are not in the Cold War today. Teddy did wonders for the environment. And people say Clinton? This is a sign to the fact that not only is the country uneducated but has the attention span of a flea.
August 27, 200323 yr Reagan is also a major reason we are in the messes we are in internationally as well.
August 27, 200323 yr Reagan is also a major reason we are in the messes we are in internationally as well. Oh, and Bill Clinton did wonders for foreign policy? See: Somalia and the Middle East
August 27, 200323 yr FDR. the man rescued the country from a little thing called the great depression and was president for most of WW2, he would've eventually finished the war off but of course died at the beggining of his FOURTH term. the man did so much including coming up with Social Security, of course its him. Reagan is overrated, and Clinton was a pretty good president, but they cant hold FDR's jock strap
August 28, 200323 yr FDR = socialist Social Security is going to self implode on us and will cause big time problems. All the government agencies he started? Died during or immediately after the Depression. WW2 took us out of the Depression, and no leader won WW2 (political anyways). Though if any had an influence on the outcome, it was Winston Churchill.
August 28, 200323 yr say what you want Furman, but FDR was a great President. he did what was needed to get out of the depression, if he had done nothing he would've been crucified in the polls

August 28, 200323 yr i hate when people say a democrat is a socialist or a communist because he's to the left. you want to look at socialism, look at all the western eruopean govts. they're governments do everything, national healthcare, transportation, you name it.

No, I don't say someone is socialist because they are merely left. FDR was socialist beyond repair. Its incredible how far he is socialist.
August 28, 200323 yr Juanky, other than telling Gorbaschav or however you spell his name to tear down that wall or calling the USSR the evil empire what exactly did Reagan do? yeah he made the country FEEL strong after the Carter disaster, but really what did he do?

Shoot it right back at you, since I pretty much posed it to you first just not directly. What did FDR do? Win WW2? WRONG! Who won WW2? General Dwight Eisenhower, General George S. Patton, General McArthur, General Montgomery, and a man named Winston Churchill. Bring us out of the Depression? WRONG! World War 2 brought us out of the Depression. All the jobs it created, dropping unemployment. Social Security? It has caused more problems than it has solved. Reagan, on the other hand, stared the CCCP in the face and won. He gave us the economic policies which led to the economic sucess in the 90's (contrary to the Clinton fans' claims). He cut down unimportant parts of the government that were taking up needless tax payer dollars. He freed us from European-like taxes. Want me to keep going?
August 28, 200323 yr Roosevelt also did a number of things for which we still reap the benefits...... Chief among them is the CCC (Civilan Conservation Corps)
August 28, 200323 yr that stuff about the USSR is so overrated. the USSR and Eastern Eruope was falling apart anyway. Communism just doesnt work, more than 70 years took its toll on the USSR, and with them falling apart so did the eastern block. that wasnt Reagan that killed it, it was time. Jesse Ventura couldve been president and the eastern block would've still fallen apart. social security is nesseccarry, what is a 74 year old suppose to do for money if he wasnt a rich man and couldnt save up a big retirement fund? just because future presidents couldnt hanlde it doesnt make it his fault. the Western Europeans can handle all their govt. programs, and we dont have anywhere near the amount of programs they have. i believe under Reagan we had record unemployment and a huge defecit which i think was a record until daddy Bush and then his son broke it
