Reagan. He gave America back it's pride. Had another weak president followed Carter, Ford, and Nixon this country would be much less than it is.

you could argue it helped bring the issues back into presidential elections for the first time in a few elections. Since deflation was crippling the farmers and farming was still a major economic activity in the united states local coops were created. Also there was the creation of the populist party which although they werent succesful in presidential elections, they did help get some reforms eventually passed outside of elections. with many people seeking some form of solution to the money problems in the era, the candidates for elections had to take stands on how they were going to solve the problems, which was not as necesary in the previous decades of election.

What did the country look like before he became President?  High unemployment, high interest rates, high unemployment and failed foreign policy.  Reagan was a man of action and took those issues head on, to positive result.

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.

I'm not a liberal, obviously. (There but for the grace of God go I), but there's one thing I remember the most about Jimmy Carter that you neglected to mention. It's had a longer lasting effect that anything else that idiot did. And as a resident of FL, I am shocked that you overlooked it-\n\nTHOSE F*CKING MURIEL BOATLIFTS!!!! Thanks a lot, you stupid cracker!!!

I would jump at the opportunity to meet either one.  I may not agree with their political ideologies, but I have great respect for both gentlemen having served in the highest elected office in our country.  I also have been led to understand that both Clinton and Carter are very friendly, down-home type folk away from the spotlight, and I would like to get to experience that.  \n\nNot to mention, I'd have a story to tell the grandkids when they ship me away to the old folks home many years from now!

Jimmy Carter.No one was happy while the man was president.A lot of us thought we would have been better off with his alcoholic dimwit brother.

The best thng a president coming into office can hope for is "a mess". Look at Jimmy Carter. It makes it easier to get good poll numbers if the outgoing pres is unpopular.

Neither one of the two.\n\nWe are still almost 2 years from the ellection, and a lot can happen between now and then.\n\nRemember, in early 1990, most people had never heard of Bill Clinton.  And in Early 1974, most people have never heard of Jimmy Carter.  Early name recognistion does not mean that is the person who will win the election.

Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, George W.Bush, and Bill Clinton.

I think here in Michigan the biggest issue is whether we are going to allow a person to buy the office of Governor. I think restoring checks and balance to the federal government is also important. Dove hunting has become an issue as well as equal rights.

Jimmy Carter never golfed.\nNixon golfed on occassion, but was allegedly not very good at it.\nClinton golfs rarely as well and holds a fairly high handicap.\nBoth Bushes and Gerry Ford are avid golfers (Golf's Walker cup is named after the same person from where President George Herbert Walker Bush gets his name).

President Carter was a good man, bad president.  He should have taken out the Iranian government and any US loss of civilian life would have been simply collateral damage.  I would have died for that cause rather than let it fester like it did.  Carter also had high unemployment rates, a stagnant economy and double digit inflation.

Yes, and i still bring up this argument when talking politics with an avid Reagan/bush/bush fan. It is hard not to forget that Reagan plunged the national debt to levels previously unheard. But let us not forget that the economy took a horrible hit as well, with FIFTY percent of farmers(just mentioning one of the hard it economic groups) nation wide going bankrupt thanks to his trickle down economics. Lets us learn from one of the worst presidents ever and try not to vote another one in...uh...wait..damn, to late.

So, if I'm to be limited to your time frame, this would mean only Presidents since 1946, so which of these Presidents?\n\nHarry S. Truman\nDwight Eisenhower\nJohn Kennedy\nLyndon Johnson\nRichard Nixon\nGerald Ford\nJimmy Carter\nRonald Reagan\nGeorge H. W. Bush\nBill Clinton\nGeorge W. Bush\n\nEach has had his strengths, weaknesses, crisis's, conflicts and scandals but I'd order them like this and why:\n\nRonald Reagan - Gave America back it's pride after the 1980 election  against Jimmy Carter. Reagan broadened his appeal by espousing moderate policies, gaining much of his support from disaffected Democrats and blue-collar workers. The incoming administration immediately set out to “turn the government around” with a new economic program. Over strenuous congressional opposition, Reagan pushed through his “supply side” economic program to stimulate production and control inflation through tax cuts and sharp reductions in government spending. However, in 1982, as the economy declined into the worst recession in 40 years, and support for supply-side economics faded.\n\nNominated Sandra Day O'Connor as the first woman on the Supreme Court.  Reagan's place in history will rest, perhaps, on the short- and intermediate-range missile treaty consummated on a cordial visit to the Soviet Union  with the Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev. Reagan could point to numerous domestic achievements as well: sharp cuts in income tax rates, creating economic growth without inflation, and reducing the unemployment rate.\n\nBill Clinton - Presided over the greatest economic expansion in our lifetime. Mastered the art of employing incremental, rather than large-scale, governmental action to effect change leaving the Republicans, with their announced mandate for fundamental change, to appear visionary and extreme. Having taken the center, and with stock markets continuing to boom and unemployment low, Clinton enjoyed high popularity, presiding over an enormous national surge in prosperity and innovation.\n\nDwight Eisenhower - Vastly underrated. preached a doctrine of Dynamic Conservatism. Maintained a conservative economic policy, with liberal social policies. Worked to reduce the size of government, contain inflation, and lower taxes., Simultaneously created the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.). His administration supported the civil-rights legislation that passed Congress (1957, 1960); and he prohibited discriminatory practices in the District of Columbia and in federal facilities such as navy yards and hospitals.\n\n\nJohn Kennedy - Promoted civil rights, space exploration, and made Americans hopeful with the promise of the "New Frontier". Yet his Presidencey lasted only slightly more than 1,000 days, he also set forward many changes to our nation that would  have lasting impact. \n\nHarry S. Truman - Truman was a folksy, unassuming president, and popularized phrases such as "The buck stops here" and "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." He overcame the low expectations of many, particularly in the shadow of his politically-dominant predecessor, and although he was forced out of his re-election campaign in 1952 due to low approval ratings, he is now commonly rated among the great Presidents by historians.\n\nLyndon Johnson -  adopted a far-reaching civil-rights bill, a voting-rights bill, a Medicare program for the aged, and measures to improve education and conservation. Congress also began what Johnson described as “an all-out war” on poverty. The double tragedy of a war in Southeast Asia (which he himself escalated)and urban riots at home marked Johnson's last two years in office. Faced with disunity in the nation and challenges within his own party, Johnson surprised the country on March 31, 1968, with the announcement that he would not be a candidate for reelection.\n\nGeorge H. W. Bush - Bush pursued moderate policies in both domestic and
