re: Who is your favorite President? Why? Who is your least favorite President? Why?

Pre Lincoln it was THESE United States. Post Lincoln became THE United States.

It's a distinction that is overlooked and a very important one IMO.

Favorite: Obama- because he's half black. #blacklivesmatter

Least Favorite: Obama- because he's half white. #whiteprivilege.

Grant!
Cant get enough of him....

No he actually did not. I think he visited his ranch less than 5 times ever.

That's exactly the life I wanted.

Totes faves: Andy Jackson because he said frick the fed and would duel mother frickers like it was his job. I would've loved to see what Kennedy would've done.

Trail of Tears and horrendous treatment of Native Americans is a gigantic badge of dishonor though.

Exactly ... which most likely puts you in the 50-65 age group.

You failed to include the "why" though?

May I .... ?

Reagan ... because he knew how to work with congress, particularly Tip O'Neal. He had a great sense of humor. You never saw him angry - but he was decisive, admired by most and feared by many. He brought a lot of pride back to the country after the Nixon-Carter years. He was known as the Great Communicator and he also had a huge left wing following who voted for him - we called those crossover voters the "Reagan Democrats." The country was unified under Reagan and thus a lot of good things got done, a lot was accomplished. The country rebounded and thrived. Life was good.

Obama ... well, if his lips are moving he's lying. https://obamalies.net/list-of-lies He's a pathological racist and liar. He has been, by far, the most divisive race-baiting, communist, socialist, destructive POTUS in the history of these United States. We are no longer the United States - we are at political, social, cultural war with one another. Under Obama and his cabinet and his AG this country has suffered more internal strife and destruction, both fiscally and structurally, than was comparatively caused prior-to, during and after The Civil War. This country might never recover ... probably will not. We absolutely hate each other. And now, to boot, we're laughed at around the globe. Other leaders laugh at this idiot in charge of us. He's a joke. No one respects this country anymore. Our system of government, our Constitution, is no longer respected, our form of government, our Republic, is a failed experiment in the eyes of the rest of the world. We're a huge joke of a nation these days ... completely and 100% thanks to Obama and his cronies. I never thought anyone could be worse than was Carter ... but Obama has not only exceeded Carter's low mark, he's far surpassed it - he's set the new standard for shittiness the likes of which is likely to never be seen again.

To top it all off ... did I mention what a pathological lying piece of shite this guy is - or what a narcissistic, hubristic, megalomaniacal dictator this guy has been with the help of his far left wing liberal progressive socialist communist fricktard friends?

Least favorite is probably a tie between Jefferson, Obama, and Carter.

Jefferson was a great writer and did a lot to help found the nation, but he was an awful president. His complete disregard for the northeast and American shipping or industry helped start us down the path toward civil war. He was a great political thinker, but aside from accepting napoleon's offer of Louisiana, had no great accomplishments as president, other than nearly destroying the nation's industrial heartland.

Remember, a president is only as good as the congress he works with.

that's pretty funny because Bush was well liked with a splitish/conservative congress his first term, but hated with a Dem congress in his second.

i would wager the hate mongering on Obama will go down in his lame duck years for the most part with a conservative congress.

obviously i view that from a conservative lense, so take from it what you will. I honestly do not like to see the 3 legislative branches controlled by 1 party at any point. Sometimes lack of gridlock creates bad legislature because one party thinks it can get anything through (Obamacare) even though it's bad legislation.

Personally i like a 2-1 split for the conservatives (rep pres, rep senate, dem HOR,) but if it has to go the other way i'd like a dem pres, rep senate, dem HOR.
