Worst of all Worlds
Edited on Sun Jun-20-04 08:33 AM by louis c
The worst failure of the Wilson administration was his inability to create alliances with our European allies after WWI

The worst failures of the Harding and Coolidge administrations were the attempts to destroy Labor Unions, and the economic policy that laid the groundwork for the Great Depression

The worst failure of the Hoover administration was an economic policy that cost America millions of jobs

The worst failures of the Roosevelt administration was his inability to to protect the homeland from a sneak attack, and the exposing of war profiteering

The worst failure of the Truman administration was his inability to unite a divided nation

The worst failures of the Eisenhower administration was his detached approach to the Presidency, and excessive vacations

The worst failure of the Kennedy administration was his inability to foresee and prevent an oncoming war

The Worst failure of the Johnson administration was the lie that started that war

The worst failures of the Nixon administration was his hiring corrupt and ego driven men, and illegally using the government to spy on and discredit their critics

The worst failures of the Ford administration was his pardoning others' crimes, and giving the Presidency the appearance of bungling inept leadership

The worst failures of the Carter administration was allowing this country to be held hostage by the Middle-East, and the resulting record high gas prices

The worst failures of the Reagan administration was the encouragement of intolerance in American society, and the creation of huge budget deficits

The worst failures of Bush (41) administration was his failure to create jobs and to move our economy forward

The worst failures of the Clinton administration was was his inability to prepare America from the oncoming terrorist threat, and the outsourcing of jobs

The worst failures of Bush (43) administration are ALL OF THE ABOVE

3. Please do
I think I inadvertently put it on campaign 2004, when it is more appropriate for general discussion. I really don't want to type it out again. Any suggestions?

4. Clinton passed on all the information he had about terrorism, but
it was ignored by the present bu$h administration so they could engage in their war profiteering.

6. One might also add that the first WTC bombing, during Clinton's watch...
concluded w/the perpetrators being caught, tried, and jailed. As were the OKC bombers....but Reagan the Great, took off immediately after the bombing in Beruit that cost us all those Marines.

Mistakes will always be made, by everyone; what comes into question, is how those mistakes are dealt with. FDR was not responsible for Pearl Harbor, but he certainly made sure the attack was reciprocated, as early as the Doolittle bombing of Tokyo. And it was the GOP in Congress during the preceding years that held up most of the defense measures proposed.

As an aside, Eisenhower did quite a bit behind the scenes, much of which is now just emerging. He was not as aloof as many think, he just was not the type of person that required the Limelight at all times.

7. My point is
All presidents have their accomplishments and failures. But the last 70 years of presidents' failures are all being repeated by this nit-wit, yet he can't point to a single accomplishment.

8. I agree 100%...
There is not ONE thing that this administration can call an accomplishment, none. Just as in TX, bush has destroyed whatever he has touched...:(

I had a standing $100 for anyone that could tell me ONE positive thing that Reagan administration left as a national legacy that they could claim benefitted the country as a whole...I still have my $100.

This is the worst administration this nation has EVER had.
