Who do you think was the best out of the nine U.S. Presidents we've had since 1970?

The U.S. has been governed poorly that entire period so the point is pretty moot. Bush II was clearly the worst, of course.


What was so good about drug-running and promoting terrorism?

Easily Obama. I will give credit to Reagan for being effective at enacting his agenda, but I don't happen to agree with his agenda.

Barack Obama. A decent man who inspired millions of people around to world who got a lot of good stuff done. He will go down in history as a near-great president.
