I don't know.  He didn't have a problem with being president or commander and chief of the army.  \nWhat he did have a problem with was being a King the way some people wanted him to be.  He did not want to be absolute controller  That was what he and the Continental army were fighting against.

Probably the war in Iraq.  It's destine to be his legacy - and it will not be a good one.  History will not be kind to W when it comes to reviewing the steps, missteps, and miscalculations of that quagmire.  But hey, maybe we as a country can learn from this mistake.  The last time we had a president of this level it was followed by Lincoln.  So here's hoping...

Definately Ronald Reagan.  He handled the Middle East situation quite well when it came up during the time he held office.\n\nTo whomever suggested Clinton:  why do you think he has any answers now?  He managed to studiously overlook the matter for his entire 8 year in office. Though I do understand he made out well with his understaff.  *WG*

Bill Clinton will probably be judged by most historians as an average president. His greatest domestic achievements--balancing the federal budget and reforming the federal welfare system to include work requirements--were both essentially defensive maneuvers. In foreign affairs, his record was decidedly mixed, with successful resolutions of the crises in Bosnia and Kosovo but major blunders in Somalia and Rwanda that cost literally hundreds of thousands of lives. Clinton also failed to act strongly against the growing threat of Islamist terrorism as embodied in Al Qaeda and of course his dalliances with Monica Lewinsky destroyed his entire second term's domestic agenda. Clinton's greatest accomplishment was no doubt doing everything he could to maximize the United States' economic growth during the extraordinary economic boom of the 1990's such as lowering the budget deficit and trying to make the economy serve the interests of the middle class in a time of rapid economic transition from an industrial to a service-based American economy that was having to come to grips with globalization. Clinton was a man gifted with extraordinary political skills and one of the finest minds since Thomas Jefferson held the office--but his own personal weaknesses ultimately meant that his was a presidency of which historians will always ask the question, "what could have been?"

President Ronald Reagan would prove to be an interesting project topic. His stand and views against the Soviet Union and Socialist movements around the world helped to define his presidency. \n\nIn addition, he helped to end the Cold War and made a stand against striking air-traffic controllers (by firing them). \n\nYou can read a lot more about him using the links below. As a side note, I also think Rosa Parks would be a great topic, but she might also be a popular one among your classmates.

Lyndon Baines Johnson (August 27, 1908 – January 22, 1973), often referred to as LBJ, was the 36th President of the United States (1963–1969). After serving a long career in the U.S. Congress, Johnson became the thirty-seventh Vice President; in 1963, he succeeded to the presidency following President John F. Kennedy's assassination. He was a major leader of the Democratic Party and as President was responsible for the passage of key civil rights legislation and Medicare, a major "War on Poverty", as well as the acceleration of the war in Vietnam. He was elected in a landslide in 1964 but his reelection bid in 1968 collapsed as his party fell apart, and he announced that he would not seek re-election.
