    Dubya seems like a mainly nice guy.  A nice person to have as a neighbor or something.

    Imagine hanging out with a drunk Dubya and try telling me that that doesn't sound amazing.

    Bush defined the 2000s like Emperor Reagan defined the 80s.

    Shame good presidents never seem to define a decade.

    Bush does seem like he would be an OK person to just have in the neighbourhood or something, but he was a horribly incompetent leader who had an awful habit of delegating to corrupt and conniving people at once smarter and even more useless than himself.

    But the main thing people nowadays think of when they think Clinton is Lewinsky.

    I associate Bill Clinton with Time Warner

    I associate Bill Clinton with generally being a great president... except for DADT, NAFTA, and many of the aspects of our intervention in Kosovo. Bad ideas.

    We can do anything if we do it together.
    Repealing Glass–Steagall wasn't a wise decision on his part, either.

    was he responsible for most of those?

    honestly the bad decision i'd associate most with him was welfare reform, but even then, uh, Congress.  Controlled by Republicans.

    “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    ^^^ Yeah, he made some serious mistakes.

    On the other hand, we had a massive budget surplus and very low unemployment, and most of the world actually liked us for a change, which is positive.

    ^^ It's more that he went along with a lot of dumb things pushed by other people in the belief that the end result would work out for the best. Which did not happen.

    he's definitely no Bush though that's for sure

    Oh, yeah, Bush is probably going to be remembered as Franklin Pierce-level bad if the spin doctors don't have their way...

    Who, incidentally, he is related to on his mother's side, funnily enough.

    The spin doctors were fairly successful in salvaging Reagan, so they could be able to pull off salvaging Bush.

    Then again, it depends on how much there is to work with. After all, they were never successful in salvaging Nixon.

    “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    In fairness to the man, Reagan was nowhere near as lunk-headed about his (rather crappy) economic policies as Bush, and he did put the nuclear disarmament of the US on the table as a serious offer at Reykjavik. So I'll give him a smidgen of credit. Bush the Second? Hahaha, denied.

    Nixon's reputation is marginally better now than it used to be: He was the first American president to have a serious rapprochement with China, and his proposal for healthcare reform was basically Obama's plan with actual teeth. He wasn't an awful administrator; he was just a paranoid, misanthropic piece of work.

    IIRC, Nixon was first and foremost a politician.  This coming from an old professor who actually worked for the guy.  It was, "Can I sell this policy to the American people and benefit politically from it?  Yes?  Then I'll do it."  Hence his jumping on the environmentalism issue.  See, that attitude does good things from time to time.

    I associate Bill Clinton with Nafta and the defense of marriage act.

  • glennmagusharveyglennmagusharvey
    I associate Bill Clinton with "I 'voted' for Ross Perot in like grade school or something because he had a funny name but then I remember having a warm feeling that Clinton won our home state of Florida in 1996 when my mom told me about it".  Also I hear it was a time of relative economic boom.
