Who was a better president, Reagan or Clinton?

Answer 1

They both had their good and bad points. Reagan drove the nation in Debt, but gave us the confidence to be proud again. Clinton balanced the budged bus couldn't keep his pants on.

Answer 2

Reagan was an image, an actor if you will, a true opportunist, (who happened to one time be a democrat) who had a spot to fill. Clinton is a humanist, with character and flaw, while Reagan rode tall in his saddle, Bill rode along with us all. Had the republicans not been so childish in their exploits of President Clinton, using human weakness for their own political gain, God only knows what such an intelligent man could have accomplished, and what credit would have been shared. He continues to prove that every day as an ex-president, now doesn't he? By the way, so does Jimmy Carter, who Is also given a bad rap. So believe as you will, yet know this, the humanistic message Is always transferable, while the rich send their boys to Washington to stir the pot, and sell their script, the spirit of our great nation becomes conformed in the neglect of what is truly our sole purpose! To live together, to share and love thy neighbor, and allow God to do his own job! Shame on the republicans for not seeing the true riches in the soil beneath them. Oil or no oil!! So stop being suckers! It is about all of us!

Answer 3

Reagan, hands down. Goodbye Soviet Union.

Clinton was an accident of history who happened to come by during the birth of the high tech boom. He benefited from the exorbitant levels of tax receipts provided by the increases in wealth that the boom produced and which many mistook as a sign that Clinton was somehow managing the economy (which Presidents cannot do anyway). Simple as that.

The fact that Clinton could not make a decision without first taking a poll was evidence that he lacked leadership qualities and conviction in his own beliefs. Clinton was a boy and could have had a much greater impact (globally and at home) if he was more of a man.

Answer 4

Reagan will go down in history as the better President for bringing down communism, with out firing a shot and as the great communicator. Clinton will be known as the President that couldn't keep is pants up.

Answer 5

Both Presidents were given credit for things they had no control of. Clinton was given credit for the economy yet had nothing to do with it, as someone said the budget was never balance nor did Clintion leave a surplus's as he claims The money he claims would have been there IF and only IF the econmy had continue but as you know your history the bubble burst and the economy went down in March of 2000, while he was still in office, yet did nothing because he couldn't. Reagan was better at keeping us safe, but not better at the economy.. trickle down effect,tax cuts, cuts in programs it effected everyone. But he did do one thing he made you proud to be an American again, Carter did more damage to our country's moral than any other President.

Answer 6

Clinton was the better one; he did more for equality of all people whereas I recall Reagan essentially was against equality.

Clinton may not have done as well against terrorism and was somewhat immoral and incapable of a proper understanding of right and wrong but he still had better intentions than Reagan.

Reagan did play a role in the ending of communism but not as much as the Pope did.

It's not just the men though, it's their respective parties; the Republicans are almost evil in how they tend to run the country regardless of who is president. The Democrats also have evil tendencies but not as much as the Republicans.

Answer 7

Honestly, Clinton, as he surrounded himself with people with more knowledge than himself. However, as my recent research has uncovered, Clinton has been in bed with Bush, Sr. for over 20 years now. Their fortunes were helped in a large part by the Iran/Contra debacle, and especially the Mena/S. American drug trafficking incidents. While Reagan's crimes are being slowly declassified, we have quite a few years before Clinton's become public knowledge. Check out the National Archives website to review recently unclassified governmental documents. It helps to know the true extent the USG will go to secure pseudo-Power.

Answer 8

Seems to be conflicting impressions regarding the effectiveness of both.. But avoiding the facts does not change the facts. During the Reagan years, the tax income grew quite enormously, but so did the democratic spending in congress. He did nothing to create any future negative impacts.

Clinton on the other hand was able to ride a bubble regarding tax income, which broke before he left office. Causing a mild depression after he left office.Took the lead in immorality; and left a pretty severe negative impact on the world by allowing North Korea to obtain nuclear necessities. Allowing N. Korea to reach the point they have today.

Answer 9

Hmm. Lets see...Reagan, best economy in the past century, Clinton a good economy based on a false dot-com bubble.

Reagan, when prevented evidence of terrorism, had air strikes on the country responsible, and that country eventually renounced terrorism.

Clinton, when offered Bin Laden on a silver platter, passed.

Reagan, helped defeat communism in the USSR and brought down the Berlin wall.

Clinton, brought down the wall that kept gays out of the military.

Feel free to choose, but I'm going with Reagan.

Answer 10

Reagan.
