We've had many presidents since WWII. Of them, who has had the biggest impact on shaping our country the way it is today - the government, the values we live by, the economy, etc?

Ronald Reagan. He brought down the Soviet Union and lowered taxes so dramatically that we will never see them so high again. The economy has been great ever since.

Kennedy--captivated a nation, encouraged 'vigor' and physical activity, made patriotism fashionable, a riveting speaker, fought to integrate schools in the south, tracked down mobsters, faced down the Russians when a nuclear war was imminent, was asssassinated. Years later, there's still an interest in his administration, which only lasted, what, 2 yrs? That's a lot of legacy in a short time. Regan 2nd.

Reagan/ Kennedy close call. Reagan did the most to change the world, ending communism in the soviet union and its satellites. He also restored Republicans to the heroic days of Lincoln and showed us an alternative to the poison that the Democrat party became under Carter. I switched parties because of Reagan.
I love Kennedy but he really didn't know what to do about the soviets, his space dreams fizzled instead of being enduring, and he was distracted by chasing girls. Clinton picked up the latter part of his legacy, turning it into parody and farce, and Kerry tried to do the same.

Jimmy Carter
His presidency is almost solely to blame for the current problems the world has with terrorism. World War III is growing out the horrible things he did. His recent actions, especially his latest book, make it quite clear that he did this on purpose. The only known president who hates democracy and loves marxist and islamic fascism.

Richard Nixon
He was the President that made America aware of the age old , dark secret - politicians are out to win and no one will ever forget his name.
