I've been around since Harry Truman's first term and have been trying to see how someone could make a case that any president during that time had better success in his second term than he had in the first one.
Truman? Nope
Eisenhower? Possibly
Johnson? Nyet
Nixon? Nix
Reagan? Show me
Clinton? HAH!
Bush? Hardly
It has to be Jimmie Carter!
I pray he is, anyway.
I think the argument could be made that Clinton’s was. He had to take a hard right turn and run toward the middle, which he did - brilliantly (for a libtard). Didn’t we get the welfare reforms during his second term (albeit with a R Congress)?
I say Carter, too.
It's already been written.
Since Hussein’s goal is destruction and disintegration rather than anything positive, he could easily have a more successful second term.
I like that answer! Why didn’t I think to put him on the list?
“;^o
All I remember from his second term was perjury.
What Obambam needs right about now to distract from Libya is his second, equally deserved Nobel Peace Prize.
The fact that he survived to complete his second term in spite of historical shame and impeachment made his second more successful than his first...
...oh, and Nixon won the Vietnam War in HIS second term before the Dems stabbed South Vietnam in the back and left them to perish once Nixon left.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's looking to ditch all of his appointees and czars for hard-left replacements right now so he can really get the job done. That's why some are being forced out by scandals and most others are rumored to be on the chopping block for one reason or another.
Not only did President Reagan's policies ensure that every American who wanted to work was fully employed, but the overall economy was flourishing during the second part of his 8-year term. And there's the matter of his administration bringing the USSR to its knees. American Exceptionalism was restored by President Reagan during his first term and he took it to the next level after the landslide win of 1984.
Jimmy Carter
And his third term will be even more destructive than his second.
Ike.
July 7, 1958-Eisenhower signs a bill making Alaska the forty-ninth state.
And history was made. It was only a matter of time before Governor Sarah Palin would come along! :o)
And then in 1959, Hawaii became the fiftieth state, and then Obama came along.
Well it wasn’t the goal of any other president to wreck our country. I am convinced that Obama will do quite well in achieving his goal second term.
This president has a habit of doing things other presidents have been unable to. He wasn’t supposed to get health care passed, he did, he’s teflon when it comes to scandals, and he wasn’t supposed to get reelected. If we start to relax thinking that he couldn’t possibly do anything worse than he’s already done, he’s going to stomp on us.
Name another president that lived deep inside the Affirmative Action Bubble.
Obama could Nuke NYC and still own their hearts and minds,
If the 911 NYC attacks occurred today, only one station would cover it.
