LMAO @ Jimmy Carter! I'll agree that he had some excellent ideas, but he held one of the most ineffective presidencies ever. Maybe it wasn't all his fault, but as President you need to get things done. Carter kinda got shafted because he didn't go along with the traditional democrat line of thinking, which lost him support from his own party who basically served him up to the Repub's. That was one of Clinton's successes--getting things done despite the obstinate Congress headed by Gingrich.

However, if you're using high morals as a judging factor like Nitro stated, Clinton, Reagan, Nixon, Ford, and Both Bushes are out. Probably Kennedy, with the allegations of infidelity, would get the boot too. Really it depends on what you find important. I think Clinton was the last good one, but he falls short of consideration as a great president.

Didn't kennedy fire allen dulles from the cia cuz of his plans to kill american citizens then blame it on cuba?
Yup....

That was the turning point for Kennedy, that's what openned his eyes and became "the people's" president.
He basically cut his strings....

WHAT ABOUT ALL THE SECRETS HE SOLD THE CHINESE????
He didn't sell em shit. And the shit he did sell was most likely useless.

Unlike the dominant Republican mindset, we can't treat every other country in the world like they're a bunch of fucking little kids that are gonna shoot everyone in the head with their new BB gun if we give em one. The U.S. Is just as bad, if not worse, in abuses of power. Besides, what are the chinese going to attack their main importer? The chinese are coming, the Chinese are coming! They're coming to single-handedly destroy their own economy!

JFK is overrated. I think FDR is slept on, given the times and the amount of social laws he put into place that we still use today. All presidents have their flaws, I don't think their will EVER be a perfect president...

Whats the criteria for a good president? Is a president good if he has great policies and actions at home but abroad he supports a brutal murderous dictator? Does he have to be good here and abroad?
