FDR is a tough one to live up to. Reagan isn't the best example of a President, despite the hyperbole lovefest that follows him.

Yeah, whenever I think of Reagan now, I always get taken back to the Irangate scandal.

I like Obama. Personally, wish we had someone like Obama in Canada instead of Harper.

Don't even try to compare Obama to that maniac Reagan. Obama will go down in history as one of the best presidents ever.

I wouldn't go that far either...

More like average or mediocre. He hasn't had any wow moments...

I was not a fan of Clinton, at all. In my opinion he was a spineless opportunist who would do anything to get himself elected without giving a damn about policy. I don't get that impression from Obama; he has a clear set of goals and policies that he wants to achieve, and while he sometimes compromises those goals, he doesn't seem to lose sight of them.

Hmm I doubt, but he would certainly be somewhere above most. However while I see the great FDR has done I still can't overlook his japanese concentration camps... made me lose a ton of respect for him.

Which tends to indicate an unwillingness to change course even if it's necessary.

Obama is already the worst president of all time

Tangmashi

Did you bother to read my post? The actions of his presidency so far do not qualify him to be in the same category as Andrew Johnson or James Buchanan.

Kind of like Millard Fillmore except worse.

Obama is already the worst president of all time, just look at how he's handled this oil spill, well hasn't handled it. If it was Bush they would've crucified him, but the Divine One can do no wrong.

He's ruining this country. In 2012 he's out, not I nor any reasonable american would vote for that crook again.

Tangmashi

Would you have liked him to put on his Spandex suit, flown over to the Gulf, and then used his power of super suction to extract all of the oil from the ocean?

I hold the Messiah to the same standard the liberals held Bush over Katrina. Bush responded to Katrina much faster than Obama did to this spill.

Unlike Bush, Obama can stop the spill by using a nuclear weapon, the russians have done it 5 times. Bush could not stop a hurricane.

Obama will be responsible for the entire destruction of the ecosystem of the gulf. I myself live near Clearwater, FL so eventually our beaches will be effected by this disaster. Pineallas County has always decided which way Florida would go in every election, and right now the attitude towards Obama is one of hate. We pretty much gave this guy a free pass in 08'. It's not unusual for people with Obama hats to get mugged or assaulted. People with Obama bumperstickers on their car get vandalized or even pulled over more frequently by the cops.

Bush took three days for a diseaster when local and national government failed on the first day..:| He also put a man in the head of FEMA who had a amazing knowledge of managing Arabian horses.. Guess people forgot his cornism in putting a guy in one of the most important diseaster relief agencies who had no prior experience in related fields what so ever. This is a completely different diseaster, one the government doesn't have the technology or correct resources to fix.. BP does.. This isn't to say Obama's handling is outside of criticsim, there are many critical points.. But the points you suggest are quite silly ones.

One needn't be a spineless unprincipled man to be able to change one's mind when faced with new facts. There's a distinct difference between being principled and being an ideologue, and I have yet to see Obama be blinded by ideology. And back to Clinton; all Clinton cared about was getting elected, and that certainly indicates an unwillingness to change course even when it is necessary to do so. He did some morally deplorable things just for the sake of maintaining his political career.
