We have many laws now but never enforce them so why make them?

You'd have to go back pretty far to find one. I'm not sure who the last truly ethical one was, but I like this quote:
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."
-- Theodore Roosevelt in the Kansas City Star, 149
May 7, 1918
Don't you wish we could have a President that honest again? Those sound like the words of a man with little to hide.

None of them while they were in office. It seems that each president has a host of detractors while serving and only years after leaving the office does it become apparent that he was pretty good.

Teddy Roosevelt or perhaps Abraham Lincoln.

good question.. i think it is getting crazy... i don't think we ever had a perfect president.. each president is a person and they all make mistakes. We will never all be completely happy with whatever president is in office.
