JFK LBJ RMN GF JC RR GHWB WJC GWB
And now BO.
9 10 Presidents, so far, and soon to be 10.
Of those 9 10, three served two complete terms; Reagan, Clinton, and Bush
Update: Obama has now spent more money in one month, than any of them spent in an entire term in office. Obama has intentionally collapsed the global economy, yes, intentionally destroyed banks in order to impose communism/socialism/Islam on the world. Obama has signaled support for Iran to obtain nuclear weapons, Hamas to kill Jews, and to stop drilling for oil in the USA keeping us dependent on Saudi Oil.
Reagan ended the Cold War, with a victory for the USA.
Clinton was impeached, but not removed from office.
Bush aggressively protected America after 9/11.
Reagan assumed office during a dark time, the economy was bad, and the nation was pessimestic. Reagan changed both for the better.
Clinton enjoyed the first boom of the internet economy, and ignored growing threats to our nation. Clinton's housing for everyone attitude, has led to the collapse of credit markets.
Bush was hit hard by 9/11, and was determined not to allow another terrorist strike on America, and he did not. Bush failed to restrain Congress on spending and has thrown the economy away with the massive bailouts.
Carter and Bush, Sr, each served one complete term.
Carter surrendered the Panama Canal and allowed students in Iran to hold the USA hostage. Carter inherited a bad economy and made it worse.
Bush, Sr, acted to stop an aggressive Iraq under Saddam Hussein, but did not complete that mission. Bush also went back on his word "No New Taxes", and raised taxes.
Kennedy and Ford each served less than one complete term.
Kennedy did well during the Cuban Missile Crisis but he got us involved in Vietnam. JFK also launched the space program.
Ford finished Nixon's second term, and accomplished much without fanfare.
Johnson and Nixon each served one term plus.
Johnson assumed office upon Kennedy's death, and really increased our involvement in Vietnam. Under Johnson, we were suffering two dozen KIA's a day, in a war Johnson would not allow the military to win.
Nixon followed Johnson, and pledged to end our involvement in Vietnam, he did withdraw our troops and Congress stopped aid to South Vietnam. Congress allowed the Communist North to commit human right violations upon the South Vietnamese. Nixon was on his way to impeachment, over the break-in at the DNC offices, when he resigned.
Rankings below the fold.

“During Hurricane Katrina, I and former Sheriff Harry Lee were with (then Congressman) Bobby Jindal more than anybody else from the federal government. He didn’t wait for cameras or permission — he was boots on the ground, and anyone that disputes that obviously wasn’t in Louisiana.†— Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand, Democrat
Well, Mr. Zachary Roth, leftist activist posing as a journalist, I strongly suggest you employ the inventive new idea of talking to people who were actually THERE. Because they’ll tell you the same thing: that Bobby Jindal met with them in person on the ground in the days and weeks following the storm (some of them multiple times), that he was active on site in all three areas helping people deal with ridiculous bureaucratic red tape, and that the reason you may not have heard about these stories before is that unlike people like Governor Blanco, he was less interested in holding press conferences than he was in saving lives and helping first responders do their jobs.
That also happens to be the reason why in 2007, so many of these local Democrat officials crossed party lines to endorse Bobby. Like the 65-member Louisiana Sheriffs Association, who endorsed him for governor even though all but seven of them are Democrats, even though they had endorsed his opponent four years earlier. Because regardless of party, he was the Congressman who did the most.*****
Actions speak louder than words.
Then Republican Rep. Jindal was there for the people.
The People elected Jindal to replace Democratic Gov. Blanco,
because she did nothing to help the people,
Democrat Gov. Blanco only used the suffering for political advantage.
During crisis:
Democrats hold press conferences,
Republican render aid.

From my friend, a retired Lt. Colonel : (via Eyes on the Lilies)
Hello out there! ...
Anybody paying attention to this? Alcee Hastings an impeached and
discredited former Federal Judge ... and an incumbent Congressman in a
district where koolaid drinking voters flat do not care, has proposed
that we build detention centers for civilians. This is the same
political party that locked up American citizens of Japanese desent
during WWII.
I heard Jerome Corsi being interviewed today on
the radio about this so I decided to look it up. There must be an
invasion, or perhaps the collapse of Mexico, or narco-war spillover to
be able to override Posse Comitatus.
[The Posse Comitatus Act
is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed on June 16,
1878 after the end of Reconstruction, with the intention (in concert
with the Insurrection Act of 1807) of substantially limiting the powers
of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement. The
statute generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of the
National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement
capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by
the Constitution or Congress. The Coast Guard is exempt from the Act.]
There are plenty of old billets in existing bases and USAR/ARNG Installations. Why do they want new ones?
I
helped prepare Ft. McCoy in 1980 to receive Cuban Mariel Boatlift
refugees. I was simply amazed at how fast fence and triple concertina
and barricades can go up when we need to do it. It was necessary as
there were many bad guys, criminals, and mental patients mixed in with
political refuges.
REP Hastings is proposing something else here. The Administration is expecting civilian unrest... Really ...why ?
Rest
easy about our soldiers. Don't expect the US Military to obey or abet
unconstitutional orders. How and what are these guys in Congress up to?
Why no press coverage [stupid question, I know]. I do know that no
soldier I ever served with would hunt down or kill an American citizen.

“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.†— 2nd Amendment, US Constitution
“In sum, we hold that the District’s ban on handgun possession in the home violates the Second Amendment, as does its prohibition against rendering any lawful firearm in the home operable for the purpose of immediate self-defense†- Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority of the Supreme Court of the United States in DC v. Heller
*****
It is this RIGHT,
an INDIVIDUAL RIGHT
which predates the US Constitution and the Magna Carta --
That PRESERVES all other individual rights.

FIRST BOOK OF DEMOCRAT
OBAMA IS MY SHEPHERD,
I SHALL NOT WANT.
HE LEADETH ME BESIDE STILL FACTORIES.

I AM GLAD THAT I AM FREE.
BUT I WISH I WERE A DOG
AND OBAMA A TREE.

In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, unless the context indicates otherwise . . . the words "insane" and "insane person" and "lunatic" shall include every idiot, lunatic, insane person, democrat, and person non compos mentis [.]

I added the word in italics for clarity.

HURRY, FELLAS, LET'S VOTE, I AM OFF TO ROME!
Fri Feb 13 2009 09:18:52 ET
Rep. John Culberson, TX claims the "stimulus" bill must be urgently voted on today -- because Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leaving at 6:00 PM for an 8 day trip to Europe!
Culberson made the charge on Houston's KSEV radio.
Pelosi is hoping to lead a delegation to Europe; there's a meeting with the Pope and an award from an Italian legislative group.
Calls to Pelosi's spokesman went unreturned.
In the rushing, Democrats have now broken their promise to have the public see the $790 billion bill for 48 hours before any vote.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) predicted that none of his Senate colleagues would 'have the chance' to read the entire final version of the 1,071-page bill before it comes up for a final vote.

Zip
Zero
That is the number of Senators and Congressmen who have read the entire 1,071 pages of the stimulus bill.
Those bastards are throwing away our hard earned tax dollars,
THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THEY ARE VOTING ON!
BUT SINCE THEY DON'T PAY TAXES,
WHY SHOULD THEY CARE.

Fannie Mae will drop some credit-score requirements, reduce income-documentation standards and waive the need for appraisals in some cases, according to a notice yesterday to lenders posted on the Washington-based company’s Web site. The changes apply to loans that the company owns or guarantees.
****
Lowering credit standards is what caused the collapse of the credit markets to begin with.
Face Facts:
Some People Don't Deserve Credit.
Some People Will Not Pay Their Debts.
Some People Have No Idea How To Budget.
We need to return to the day, when buying your first home was a huge achievement because it was so difficult to qualify for the mortgage.
