Best Democratic President of last 50 years [View All]

[DiamondJay]

who is the best Democratic president of the last 50 years? I ask cuz this may be tough for some, easy for others. We have JFK, LBJ, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton. All had positive qualities, and achievements, all have mistakes. I pick Clinton, cuz he took tough political stands against reluctant dems and right wing Repubs to keep us from seeing 9/11 on his watch and like-events while stopping many ethnic cleansing events, gave us the longest economic expansion without a vote of Republican support by balancing the budget Reagan and Bush trashed, improved race relations, and many other things. He PUT PEOPLE FIRST. He also broke with some in his party to end welfare as we knew it. Now it is a second chance, not a way of life. I pick him above JFK cuz JFK, while inspiring, and superb with the missile crisis, really wasn't around long enough to see real legislative results, LBJ carried them out but fucked us big time with the Vietnam escalation he took part in and with the Tonkin Gulf fairy take, tho Johnson did sacrifice the party for civil rights and the great society, and Carter really was stymied by his take no prisoner attitude towards washington. he went to washington a phaoroah who did not know. he also, to be honest was probably not the strongest leader.
