Who was a better President: George Bush or Bill Clinton?

By the way RCTjunkie, I was kind of hoping you were talking about Bush Senior until you gave your 7th reason, and then it all clicked. We're supposed to give Bush credit because he didn't cause a recession? You know, one could argue that we're already in a recession, but even if we aren't, who's to say we won't be in one by the time his term ends?

Look, when it comes to Dems, don't forget about Jimmy Carter. These same failed economic principals held onto by Clinton, and now Obama have been proven, like socialism, to be a failure. The only reason Clinton had a good economy was because the House & Senate were republican-controlled, which prevented these failed policies. Newt is a great American hero. BTW, this is the last time we had a balanced budget due to republican economic sensibility.

And the economy has grown with Bush? Well, you'd have to be a really terrible president to actually make the economy shrink (this also goes with you giving credit for him not causing a recession).

Also, Bush had 9-11, Katrina, Iraq, ect. It would be hard for Clinton to have gone through it.

So, moral leadership returned to the white house? I mean...come on! If you were standing under a picture of Karl Rove or Scooter Libby, could you really say that with a straight face?

I thought this was about Bush and Clinton... and if we're talking about the whole house, then both sides had terrible moral leadership.

To end, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, but history is on my side.

Signing off.

And remember, no country has taxed himself to greatness.
