As the 2012 election is now over, Barack Obama has won a second term. Many wonder how his policies, his administration, and how the entire political arena, will change our future.
Since he has been the only President since GWB, he can only be the best or worst since. Since He hasn't done anything good, he is the worst? He has also surpassed Jimmy Carter, and #1 worst.
For many of us Jimmy Carter was the best president of the second half of the 20th century, his main failing IMO was that he focused more on foreign policy than domestic, thats the same failure both Barrack Obama and George W. Bush have had. The difference is both Obama and Bush II are additionally failures in foreign policy,
When the government neglects its citizens & domestic needs for foreign adventures the economy goes to manure. Penelope can't hold off her suitors forever, and Agammenon's wife did not.
Its too bad the board polls are so simplified, I'd like to see how the presidents stack up. Each president rated 1-10 10 being best on Foregn Policy and Domestic Policy.
IMO it'd be like Carter 8 Foreign 4 Domestic Reagan 3 Foreign 3 Domestic Bush 4 Foreign 4 Domestic Clinton 2 Foreign 7 Domestic Bush II 1 Foreign 1 Domestic Obama 2 Foreign 1 Domestic
I just saw a poll last night or the night before, actually I was listening to it from the bed as it was being shown on TV.. and I think I heard FDR was ranked as the #1 best president.
My stomach turned as I somehow and thankfully fell asleep.

It's the things--in the history books at school--that FDR doesn't get credit for, that define him, in my opinion. And there's a reason the history books don't give him credit. Let's just say it would tarnish his sparking reputation.
