I like Cain and Paul. Thanks for the info JR. I'm starting to wonder if the better presidents are womanizers.

Truman was as true to Bess as they come. I believe history is coming to regard him as a pretty decent Prez.

I also hear no womanizing rumors about Nixon, Carter, Reagan, GHWB, GWB and Obama.

I will leave it to you which are good prez's and which are not.

Personally I prefer a man who is true blue but his political actions interest me a lot more than his personal actions.

Why can't you libs get your head screwed on straight! Obama is the worst President in American history. Corrupt as they come. You believe everything that the liberal media spews on a daily basis. They'll tell you that's is OK to play in the middle of the Interstate and you will probably the first one on the road playing. Get real!

Aside from eviscerating the military and then immediately involving the military in a war it was ill-prepared to fight and and when we were winning, essentially surrendered and that cost the lives of of over 50k men and a couple hundred thousand wounded, I see your point.

We have Michelle Bachman, but she hasn't been polling too well lately. I take it you're not happy with Julia Gillard. I don't know anything about her politics, but I do believe that with the removal of Ukraine's Yulia Tymoshenko(currently in prison for abuse of power-maybe you are on to something), Gillard may be the best looking head of government anywhere at the moment.

Thatcher seems to have done better than ok running the UK.

It makes no difference what party he says he's in, he will not be elected. By going as a card carrying R, he gets a much larger podium. Or microphone, or something. But it's much larger, of that I'm certain.

Bush's crony capitalism gave us a better economy than BO's crony socialism?

That sounds like something that a Tea Party troll would say. Recall the last year of the Bush administration? Are those the good old days that you wish to see return?

Yes, the last year of the Bush administration was indeed bad news. The results of Dodd/Frank came home to roost. That was the beginning of the end. GW fell for the TARP, and then BO took us much deeper into new low's, or high's if you would rather measure it in National Debt terms.

It is tragic, isn't it, the way the Bush presidency was derailed at the last minute by nefarious democrats. He was so close to immortality.

Funny how you edited out Larry's question mark and inserted a period, thus changing his question of equivalence to a statement of fact AND attributing it to him. Do you think that is fair?

Larry's comment cleared this up. I apologize for the unwarranted conclusion.
