Of these: Hitler, Clinton, or Bush; which one would you consider as being the best leader of their country?

Question

I know it's sort of apples to oranges and such...but I'm just wondering which of the three do you think did the most competent job leading their people, and why? If you want, you can rank them.

ps: I would appreciate it if you guys could withhold from "thumbing" answers. This is such a subjective question...we can all be correct!

pps: I brought Hitler into it because I'm an old WWII buff...no other reason.

Why would I be "embarrassed" about adding Hitler to the list? If you studied your history at all, and knew what he was up against...as others have pointed out in their answers...he did a fantastic job at turning his country around.

He was an evil man, no dispute there. However, if you can put aside your bias, there were maybe two or three major things that he screwed up. The Jews, of course, but also greed.

Europe was going to let him take a few countries...if he stopped, he would probably still be in power today, or his direct offspring.

Of course, there were other great leaders. I'm not a world history buff, so I wouldn't be able to pick and choose the best ones.

Best answer here will be hard to choose. Lot's of great responses!

Answer 1

Clinton is the best. Hitler was a mad man! He caused the death of millions of Innocent Jews! Bush isn't the one really making the decisions let's face it it's Vice President Cheney who tell Bush what to do, and he is Evil. Clinton got our country back on it's feet again and left the office with money in the bank.He may not be a good husband but he is a good politician!

Answer 2

If I had to chose between the three it would have to be Hitler for the simple fact that HE never tried to hide his true nature by pretenting to care about Democracy and it's people.
Hitler was always upfront with his views and his aganda which included the Nazi Party.
Everyone knew exactly where he stood.
Where with Bush and Clinton they both hide behind a mask to disguise their deciept and manipulation and will destroy America in a way that is both sneaky and underhanded.

Did you know that Hitler wasn't really German and wasn't born in Germany?
Which is another reason why Arnold the actor shouldn't ever be President.
I know that Hitler was a monster and I'm aware of what he did but if Bush or Clinton were ever given the power to do to American's what Hitler did to the Christians and the Jews I'm almost certain that they would.

But I think instead of turning on us in the same way that Hitler turned on everyone Bush and Clinton would let the illegals do it for them so they could blame our deaths and suffering on them.

Answer 3

Bush of the 3 is the best until this amnesty debacle. Clinton was just lucky the occupy the White House during the 90's. None of Clinton's inititives created wealth for the world. The internet economy was created by the military. Reagon's build up of the military enabled Clinton to ride out the 90's on those assets. If it wasn't for Newt's contract with America, Clinton would have left the US worst off than when Perot gave him the office. Hitler if he wasn't evil would have been consider very capable.

Answer 4

Bush, hands down (and thumbs up.) The media won't mention it but Clinton got us involved in more foreighn countries than Bush. Neither compares to the Nazi invasions and oppressive occupation of foreign countries. Clinton beggared this country with his concessions to China. It will be years before the full extent of his selling the Lincoln bedroom will become apparent. Bush bumbles a bit but I do not beleive he is the outright liar that Clinton was. Bush's biggest mistake was not cleaning house of all of the Clinton carryovers, including all the District Attornies. I don't think that anyone who chooses Hitler is correct.

Answer 5

Strictly from leaderhip ability and the ability to unite, Hitler. It was amazing to see how people gravitated to his ideals. They were so enthralled by him that even when the atrocities began they loved him.

Of course, the whole insane genocidal madman thing prevents most from seeing how powerful a single man may become. A lot of lessons to be learned there.

But ignopring the atrocities, he was definately the best leader of the bunch.

Answer 6

Hitler was the worst he was persuasive but the country he was leading ceased to exist under his rule Clinton is number 2 he made several decisions that in my opinion hurt the country bush is no 1 of the three for leadership and honesty

Answer 7

I don't think a single human being can lead a country and solve all of the problems that are in this country right now. There is too much corruption in the political government for there ever to be a fair and balanced President. I'd choose neither. I wish God was ruling.

Answer 8

Well I don't think there is any doubt that of those three, Hitler is the most effective leader. Who else could get that many people to do something that ordinarily, they would not think of?
That being said, I would rather have a billion other people as my leader than any of those three. Clinton didn't really get anything done, and Bush is alienating everyone, which in the long term is no good for the country. None of them are really doing a competent job of leading their people long term.

Answer 9

Clinton

Answer 10

Clinton rose to power on his own merits and no man with a deficit of intelligence gets to be a Rhodes Scholar. Clinton can not be compared with an insane tyrant and an idiot who has achieved nothing on his own. For the record, I'm not calling Bush insane.
