1.) So, theoretically, if I was the president of the USA, during a golden age, and did absolutely nothing, but the country prospered anyways, would that make me a great?

2.)What if I became a president during a depression, but managed to make the USA better? Which president would you consider better? One man changed america for the better, while the other did nothing, but inherited a prosperous nation. The people had a better time under my presidancy,although I did nothing.

3.)Neither screwed up, is that what truly matters?

 

1.) You would be considered great, that is why many presidents get re-elected

2.) I would consider a president that has changed america for the better during a depression better. For instance if obama expanded many buisnesses in america just as clinton did I would consider obama better. even though the economy was better overall better off during clinton's age.

3.) In the eyes of a lot of people, as long as a president doesn't totally screw up he is a success.

1.)You are probably right. If people were happy during my presidency, and I did nothing, I would probably be re elected, but I was not asking for the theoretical opinion of what we think the American people would choose, I was asking for yours.

2.) Agreed.

3.)  Yet again, that is probably what the general population believes, but is that what you believe?
