He'd be better than this clown. At least he loves this country! Seriously then, what kind of president do we need currently? Not Woodrow Wilson! Perhaps James Polk or Andrew Jackson. Ronald Reagan would be ideal in any situation. Was Larry the Cable Guy a president? He'd be better than this clown. At least he loves this country!

Absolutely dispised him. Heck, many people in the southern states still enjoy saying they hate Lincoln. I read what those folks have to say right on this same historynet.com website. It’s entertainment for them. Now on a website dedicated to historical perspective, we have history buffs railing in harsh langauge about our current President. I find that both ironic and a bit disappointing in the negative and childish remarks. Then add in the insults directed at those other readers who may dare to disagree with their opinoins. Why do we have to bring this "I'M RIGHT! AND ANYONE THAT DISAGREES IS WRONG!" attitude to this website? Frankly, a lot of the people posting here are a bunch of horse's rear ends. And here come more nasty comments.... It’s common knowledge that through 1861-1864 close to a majority of Americans hated Lincoln. Absolutely dispised him.

He 1 - lost the chance TWICE to kill Osama bin Laden prior to 9/11; 2- allowed AlQaida to entrench in Europe by ferrying them for free to fight in Bosnia hoping that they would return back to Asia after the war (yeah, right); 3- lost THE ONLY real chance of reforming Social security when he blew his agreement with Newt Gingrich to pass a reform ( Clinton needed votes of radical democrats to protect him from Monicagait); 4 - wasted a HUGE Social Security surplus on his pet projects which failed, and now retireees a facing a grim prospect; 5 - his economic success was a delayed success of GHW Bush's policies; 6- He pulled us into the current economic meltdown of 2008 by insisting on Carter-era policies to give unsound mortgages. This is not a leader of the nation facing tough choices. Clinton is the worse choice.

Smart, knows how to handle unpredictable and frequently extremist congress, able to think 2-3 steps ahead of most of pundits. 3 - Grover Cleveland - smart, able to handle the economic meltdown without increasing the role of Big Government. 4- Calvin Coolidge - father of american economic miracle. 5- Ronald reagan - res ipsa loquitur. 6 - Truman -not afraid of unusual decisions, likes to evaluate situations without ideological blinds on his eyes, able to put Russia back in the backwaters where it truly belongs.

Clinton oversaw the largest period of sustained economic growth in US history, he also helped stop a genocide in Europe. If you want to point fingers away from Al Qaida for 9/11 then look to your beloved Reagan. He pumped arms and money to the mujahadeen in Afghanistan. That statement is baseless and ridiculous.

He ignored the first bombing, the attacks on our embesy's in Arerica, and the Cole bombing. Had he gone after the perps like a real leader history could have been changed.
