The Good

1 Obama (was only living in the US full-time for a part of his final term, wish I had a time machine)
2 Clinton (barely remember him at the time, I was 4 in 2000, and not in the US after I was 2)

The Bad

3 Bush the Lesser (Not in the US at all other than holidays)

The Ugly Nightmare

4 Rump the Raper (I cannot imagine a worse one in my lifetime going forward, if there is, the country is FUCKED)
