Franklin D. Roosevelt, I don't like the way he set up welfare and making
movie stars and musicians rich.

I think Nobody should be rich, I wish everybody are Middle Class.
And everybody has a job.

I think you me "What U.S. President DO you dislike and why?

Ofcourse, in my experiences, it is Dubya. He is only president because of his father. In my opinion, he is the least educated president of modern times, and he just says the STUPIDEST things.
 
Basically, every president who's been in office since I was born, with the exceptions of JFK, LBJ, and Carter. The rest either were or are corrupt, dishonest, or at the very least incompetent. Frankly, Reagan was a mentally deranged ass clown who instigated the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in Central America because he thought Guatemala and El Salvador were being invaded by Cylons from Battlestar Galactica. Bush is dumber than a box of rocks, and really isn’t even qualified to run a Laundromat. Clinton was a great role model for America’s youth—he showed millions of young men in the United States that it is all right to cheat on your wife, as long as you can successfully lie your way out of it. These guys make me miss Nixon. But, what difference does it really make? As long as we have cold zinfandel in the fridge and 500 channels of television, we should be happy, right?
 
I do not like George W Bush, Richard Nixon and George H.W. Bush. I don't know about the rest that were the President before I was born. :mrgreen:


Why? I don't like them.....

George W Bush reminds me so much like Richard Nixon, They both lied too much, Richard Nixon had American fighting Vietnam, while Bush W George had American fighting Iraq. George H. W. Bush He was an ok guy while he was the vice president under Clinton's terms, But everyone blames Clinton for everything while Bush was also the darn vice President. Makes sense? And... The reason why I dislike George H. W Bush because, he had a chance to get Saddam too just like Clinton but everyone seems to blame Clinton instead of Bush. So If you dislike Clinton then I dislike Bush. Fair enough?
 
Cheri you got it all wrong,Nixon bought our boys home from vietnam. LBJ sent them to vietnam.You dont understand this war. If you were around 1941 and japs attacked peral harbor you understand the principals on war. We were attacked on 9-11 thats the reason for invading afgainstan and invading iraq. Plus theres more invasions to come perhaps iran is next or syria. You saying we didnt need to attack iraq is like saying we didnt need to attack germany because hitler didnt attack us the japs did.

Wrong buddy, 9/11 has nothing to do with our invading Iraq. You keep forgetting that. :roll: I thought it was Nixon who had the war in Vietnam. I don't know for sure. Ok, I just spoked to my dad and he told me this...>>>Richard Nixon lied about Vietnam as a candidate he claimed he had a secret plan "to end the war, and win the peace," but he did not; as the president, he denied he was covertly bombing Cambodia, when he was. He lied about Watergate, too, declaring famously, "I am not a crook." Turned out he was, and, because he was caught lying, he became the first president to resign.

(b) NBC Interview, September 9, 1963 (PRESIDENT KENNEDY)


MR. HUNTLEY. Mr. President, in respect to our difficulties in South Viet-Nam, could it be that our Government tends occasionally to get locked into a policy or an attitude and then finds it difficult to alter or shift that policy ?

THE PRESIDENT. Yes, that is true. I think in the case of South Viet Nam we have been dealing with a Government which is in control, has been in control for 10 years. In addition, we have felt for the last 2 years that the struggle against the Communists was going better. Since June, however—the difficulties with the Buddhists—we have been concerned about a deterioration, particularly in the Saigon area, which hasn't been felt greatly in the outlying areas but may spread. So we are faced with the problem of wanting to protect the area against the Communists. On the other hand, we have to deal with the Government there. That produces a kind of ambivalence in our efforts which exposes us to some criticism. We are using our influence to persuade the Government there to take those steps which will win back support. That takes some time, and we must be patient, we must persist.

Mr. HUNTLEY. Are we likely to reduce our aid to South Viet-Nam now?

The PRESIDENT. I don't think we think that would be helpful at this time. If you reduce your aid, it is possible you could have some effect upon the government structure there. On the other hand, you might have a situation which could bring about a collapse. Strongly in our mind is what happened in the case of China at the end of World War II, where China was lost—a weak government became increasingly unable to control events. We don't want that.

Mr. BRINKLEY. Mr. President, have You had any reason to doubt this so-called "domino theory," that if South Viet-Nam falls, the rest of Southeast Asia will go behind it ?

The PRESIDENT. No, I believe it. I believe it. I think that the struggle is close enough. China is so large, looms so high just beyond the frontiers, that if South Viet-Nam went, it would not only give them an improved geographic position for a guerrilla assault on Malaya but would also Live the impression that the wave of the future in Southeast Asia was China and the Communists. So I believe it.

What the differences? Just because Clinton lied about sexual relations with Monica that isn't the same as lying about the war in Iraq as outrageous as lying about sex. You think telling the truth about having sexual relationship with someone while he is married would not have people judge him? I think they would judge him either way if he told the truth or if he lied. What's the point?
 
Ok we can argue about this untill the cows come home. But Whats the reason to attack germany for? They didnt attack peral harbor huh??

I think I get your point. During WWII the U.S. went to war with Germany even though they had not directly attacked any U.S. territory, whereas Japan was the country that actually attacked U.S. forces and territory. We did not wait for Germany to drop bombs on us. You are comparing this to the 9/11 attack, and our war in Iraq. Correct?

That's interesting. I was a teenager during LBJ's term, and I remember how hated he was. Many people protested his escalation of the Vietnam war. He was not a very nice man.

I was on active duty in the Navy when Carter was President, and he was not held in high regard by many people. He was a decent, moral person, but a very indecisive, uninspiring leader. He was the one that dimmed the Christmas tree lights and cancelled U.S. participation in the Olympics. Big downer.
 
Japan, Germany, and Italy had a mutual defense pact. If we declared war on one, we declared war on all. German subs did attack our ships. A German spy prepared the maps for the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor. They had been attacking Britain for quite a while, and we had been at war with them quite a while before D-Day.
