Next to Lincoln, Bush is the second greatest President in history. Too bad the Dems can't give him his due.

I would argue that Bush also liberated Liberia and Haiti from brutal despots.

Well said

Badly said This is one of the most poorly thought out articles I've ever read. Her choices of examples are puzzling to say the least.

FDR led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us:

Is she nuts? Germany declared WAR on the US after Pearl Harbor. Does she really blame Roosevelt for fighting back against an evil dictatorship that declared war on America.

As for Truman and Kennedy, I guess that it's too much to hope that she would blame the communists who actually started the wars. And she calls it liberation when Pres Bush acted preemptively against terrorism, but 2 democrats do the same thing against communism forces and it's wrong.

The remarks about Clinton and Bosnia simply misses the mark. We never declared war on Bosnia, I believe all Bosnia every saw of us were a few peacekeepers. Kosavo(sp?) is where we had Clinton's famous air war.

The only one she got half right was Pres. Johnson, whose micromanagement of the military, destroyed the war effort.

If she was to give examples of Bad Presidents then she should start with President Wilson, who won by smearing his opponent with accusations that he would get the US fighting in WW1. Something Wilson promptly did upon entering office.

There is not enough space to list all the harmful effects of the Clinton presidency. But Bosnia?, that's such small potatos. It's like critizing hitler for his mustache.

Does anyone have the figures on lives lost during Clinton's Bosnia episodes?

I imagine it would be extremely small if any, after somelia. Clinton went out of his way to avoid putting us troops in danger. That's why his air war in kosavo(sp?) was such a joke. He had the planes flying too high (to avoid AAA)to be effective in their mission.

Remember 21% interest rates?

Wasn't 21 % the PRIME rate? Interest the consumer would have paid was above that?

Reagan faced a Democrat dominated Congress, a Russian military on the advance, and Central America gone communist. W has barely addressed, much less reversed that Latin American threat. The vision and leadership that generated SDI, or the sheer chutzpah to call for the fall of the Berlin Wall are unequalled in the Twentieth Century. His leadership vs the UN was far more independent than Bush, who has, in some respects, strengthened that corrupt institution. Reagan rolled back many federal regulations, where in some cases they are worse under W than they were under Bubba. Although I will give you the point about O'Connor, W has refused to pursue his judicial appointments against what should have been an ephemeral opposition, rendering those appointments a possible empty gesture to conservatives, rather than a substantive commitment to judicial change.

1. I'm not comforable calling our illegal alien problem "the Latin American threat," I call it an illegal alien problem.

2. Reagan invaded Grenada, much to his credit (and allowed defenseless members of our armed forces to be murdered in Lebanon, in a bad case of UN cooperation). Bush 43, well you know about what he's been doing militarily, and it's been more of an investment than going to the Berlin wall with a microphone.

3. Bush and Senate Republicans have had their hands significantly and constitutionally tied, in overcomming unprecedented and atrocious Democrat obstruction. (Wish I could remember the FR article about this, but it didn't read like an ephemeral opposition, to me.)

I think Reagan was a critically important and great president, who along with his Republican predecessors and one successor, committed grave error in Supreme Court nomination --though fewer of these mistakes I think than Eisenhower or Bush 41 --a tie with Nixon, if I recall.

Ha-ha! I've thrown that back into liberal faces. That Clinton is the worst president in two centuries - the 20th and the 21st!

Make that two different millennia.

We didn't start the war on terror. Try to remember, it was started by terrorists BEFORE 9/11!

Why, yes it was. As a matter of fact, it was started when Cain slew Abel. Saying we are in a War on Terror is like saying we are in a War on Evil. There is no clear enemy, no clear objective, and definitely no end to the war. The principle effect is to pump up the government with war powers and provide a pretext to label anyone who objects as unpatriotic, subversive, pro-terrorist, or enemy combatant.
