bush bill or obama  

Neither of the choices are great, in my opinion. I cn't specifically name the best president, but I'm just going to say George Washington. Bush was not helping us at all in retrospect, especially with the "war on terrorism". You can not declare war won a tactic!

Obama is not living up to his promises either. Notice how vague he is, he says he wants change, yet doesn't even state the changes he wants made. You know what change hes wants? Your change in your pocket. Sorry if you happen to like either of these presidents, I don't intend to be hateful towards them, it is just my opinion.

I thought Bill did the best job though he was unfaithful to his wife. He made the economy blossom which bush came in and trashed which Obama is still unable to save. People think badly of him because of the scandal but he really was a great leader.

I am not American either, but anyway my views:

From what I see on MyLot trashing the President, whoever he is, seems to have become an American pastime. I would personally regard this as a sad state of affairs, but anyway.

Seen from here - if you limit your choice to the above three, Clinton has the best record on creating a very successful economy and deft handling of international issues. Yes, his standing as a husband and father left something to be desired, and this damaged the trust that people had in him.

Bush seemed to achieve low marks on both (he achieved the almost impossible by being the first American President in living memory to have a popularity rating under 50% in the UK!).

Obama is liked - his foreign policy initiatives seem to be going down well, but his economic agenda is not widely trusted (Angela Merkel has twice told him that it is far too expensive and far too risky), and if we did not this already, we have seen from last autumn's events, when the American economy goes rapidly downhill, so do most economies elsewhere. I would suggest on Obama that the jury is still out.

Meanwhile I would guess that there a lot of older people being nostalgic for the days of Truman and Eisenhower. In Germany the same thinking seems to apply. A couple of years ago Konrad Adanauer was voted the greatest German of all time (ahead of Beethoven, Goethe, Einstein ....).
