Who was a better president, Bush Sr or Bill Clinton and why?

Question

Tony (below) Myself and anyone who responds to the question.

Answer 1

Someone who

1. Turned the largest US surplus into the largest deficit in American history, then gives tax cuts when he should be raising taxes to get more money for the country. (And of course, he only gives tax cuts to all of his rich buddies.)

2. Blamed bin Laden for 9/11 (which is okay), but when he couldn't find him, made Americans forget about him by diverting their attention to Saddam Hussein, who had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. Has he found bin Laden? Has he found any WMDs? Didn't think so.

3. Feels the need to stick his nose in Iraq's business and "improve" their government while bombing and completely destroying Iraq-it's obvious it's just an excuse to go to war.

4. Lies about there being NO terrorist attacks since 9/11, when there have been quite a few that he covers up or makes America forget about. (Like that anthrax threat a few years ago for example.)

5. Passes the Patriot Act to keep America safe from terrorists while arresting people who aren't terrorists, never catching the people who are, and violating SIX AMENDMENTS of the Constitution.

6. Passes "Clean Air Act" which actually makes the air dirtier.

7. Makes every country in the world besides Britain and Poland hate us.

8. Quits the Kyoto Protocol because it would make his rich buddies actually spend some money to reduce global warming, and God forbid anyone has to spend money.

9. Throws ultimatums at the American people that only a complete idiot could fall for (and a lot have) like "You're with us or you're with the terrorists" and basically just gets America to be loyal to him out of fear.

10. Only gets into Yale because of his father and passes with a C- average.

11. Has said enough stupid things to fill 265 pages of "Bushisms" books.

12. Gets elected into office after losing by over 10,000 votes. Do you think it's a coincidence that his brother was the governor of the state that the whole election depended on in 2000??

George Bush is a COMPLETE ******* ASSHOLE who never should have been elected, is one of the worst people in the country to earn the job of president and definitely is the worst president we have ever had or will ever have.

if U THINK HIS FATHER IS SOMEBODY BETTER THAN CLINTON..... SUMTHINGS AINT RIGHT

Answer 2

Bassman took the words right out of my mouth, at least under the Clinton administration there was a surplus, employment rates were up and he signed welfare reform. What exactly has both of the bush's done, combined, that has equaled to what the Clinton admin. has done, nothing. I can name a whole list of horrible things bush has done in office, while all people can really say about clinton is affair and not going after osama (which bush hasn't been successful at)

Answer 3

Bush Sr. was a globe trotting president who was forging new ties with countries after the fall of communism, which was a good thing. The result was he became detached from domestic policy and it cost him. The third party candidacy of Ross Perot didn't help him. Bill Clinton was a good president. After crunching the budget numbers he realized that the targeted middle income tax-cut he had promised would have to be scrapped, to make way for deficit reduction. That resulted in surplusus and a booming economy. A return to those days would suit me fine.

Answer 4

According to experts in a survey done by Cspan George H.W. Bush is ranked 25th and Bill Clinton is 21st. See the link for more information.

Answer 5

Bush Sr. I think it is because he stood for more. It seemed like President Clinton let all sorts of things go to please his liberal cronies. At least Bush did not grow the government to an insane level where all the programs created were choking the budget and taxes went up very little. He at least tried to keep his promises.

Answer 6

Bush. Sr was a better President. Clinton just spent his time trying to act cool and have sex with White House interns and he missed 5 opportunities to kill Osama, but chickened out every time. Bush Sr. invaded Iraq in '91 and we won big time. Bush's only mistake was that he did not take out Saddam after he knocked out Saddam's best army, the Republican Guard. During Bill Clinton's reign, globalization started and inflation went up tremendously. Globalization is the reason why our jobs are going to China and why the terrorists hate the US.

Answer 7

Bush Sr. for sure, at least he didn't sell us out to China like Clinton did (Clinton gave military secrets to China).

Answer 8

I guess Clinton because he signed welfare reform. George H. W. Bush made some major mistakes in his presidency.

Answer 9

I'm not a repub but Bush was not impeached. BJ Clinton disgraced the country and the office.

Answer 10

I think probably Bush Sr, Clinton was awash in scandal all the time in office from Whitewater, Vince Foster, Bedroomgate, Wileygate, Monicagate, etc......
