Nixon. While his ethics were awful, his policies weren't that bad by Republican standards.

Nixon. He was overall a good president, except for watergate obviously.

Well.  That...and the bombing Cambodia business.

On the other hand you had opening on China and Detente. Despite s**t like Cambodia and Chile, he had great foreign policy.

Nixon indeed.

Reagan said that tress cause pollution and that the poor enjoy being homeless.

Obama said that there are 57 states and that there is an Austrian language.

So he made some stupid remarks. All presidents do that, Rochambeau.

Also, Reagan cared squat about ordinary Americans. Unlike Nixon, he only cared about the rich. Also he was the most fiscally irresponsible President in American history up to that point, despite being a self-declared fiscal conservative.

Reagan had a much more likable personality than Nixon and probably displayed greater leadership capabilities. Still though, if you take away Watergate and Cambodia, this probably wouldn't be much of a contest.. I don't hate Reagan but at the same time, I just don't honesty believe his administration was good for the country in the long term. In a way, I'm surprised liberals don't have some fond memories of old Tricky Dick. Seems to me that some things that Nixon proposed are things that Obama seems to be hesitant to do.

I'd take Nixon. Only because of his domestic policies. Looking at it today, he is more progressive than Clinton and Obama was/is.


Oh how I wish Ford had beaten Carter in '76. Would have prevented and/or delayed the "Reagan Revolution."

Totally agree with you. Even though it would have most likely delayed it, since many Southern conservatives were moving to the GOP and thus I think it is inevitable that there would have been a Conservative Republican Party. Even though the 1980s would have likely been Democratic in this scenario? Who do you think would have been President in the 1980s had Ford won in 1976?

Oh please. Rochambeau, you are just reciting old leftist lines. Dedicate your slanted and biased views to other causes.

The truth hurts, doesn't it? While I'm telling the truth, 80% of our national debt was accumulated under Reagan and both Bushes.

Well, Reagan increased taxes on them after giving them a tax cut, while allowing his tax cuts for the rich to remain in place. I'm sure the rich didn't need their taxes to be massive reduced from 70% to 28%. Also, Reagan began the process of allowing millions of American jobs to be outsourced to developing countries. Whose jobs do you think were taken? Certainly not those of the rich.

That is entirely different then "hating" the poor and middle class. "Hate" is a strong word, my friend, and the notion that he sat in his office professing his hatred for the lower classes is simply laughable.

You've done it before, or used words similar to hate.
