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.
