I want to get this to the answering side... In my life time I cant think of one. The first President I remember (myself) is Reagin. And I I believe he was a great president,,, the very last of them.

I would go back further and say Roosevelt, Truman Eisenhower-- Then to Regan-- After that, corporations took over politics, capitalism in which this country was founded on found a loophole and common sense gave way to greed. Greed gave birth to hate and now we have a country that is splitting apart. Capitalism is a great thing, we ran with it for over 200 years, government intervention is what destroyed it. 

How far back can i go, none that i can think of.

I cannot think of one in my lifetime but i am still young, so there is still hope and i am a pessimist. (or a fool ).

Your kidding right? Trueman was President when I was born. A thief has occupied the white house ever since then. I'm fond of Reagan, remember trickle down economics?

I would have to say Ron Reagan.....

One of his quotes......

We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much.

I'm going have to agree Ron Regan...

Two. Reagan and Clinton. The burden of Government fell during Reagan and Clinton Administration by restraining the growth of domestic spending.

Wow, I guess it doesn't have to be in our lifetime then.... It sure seems like the little people are getting the short end of the stick these days, especially when it comes to rising gas prices. Didn't mean to change the subject, but gas costs are raising the prices on everything and nothings being done about it.

I think I will never see one, also the problem only get worse when you look into state and city governments.

Ronald Reagan would have to be my pick.

Harry S Truman

Can't think of anyone here in my memory, no one has certainly helped those that are incapacitated both physically or psychologically and are unable to work, or more importantly vote, seems no power to vote, no lifestyle

Gandhi - Mahatma (1869-1948)

I suppose I'd have to say Regan he was my favorite overall, Bill Clinton surprisingly did somewhat good as well. He actually knew how to work across party lines and get things done, especially as far as the national debt goes.

I would of pick JFK. if he would of survive, in any other i pick Ron Regan. Now I don't see anyone that would fit the bill.

On another thread I said "Australia may not be perfect but it is a darn sight better than most. One only has to read peoples complaints about their country to realise this."

I REST MY CASE.

doo be doo be doo....la la la....Abraham Lincoln

I liked Reagan and Clinton, but like so many aspects of politics it depends on which side of the fenced you are on at the time. I don't think that it's fair to say that a president hasn't helped people because he has taken large sums from corp. This is a system that we as the people put in place and more or less forced the politicians to submit to in order to be successful. If they don't they will never be elected. And as George Will says, "Corp. are made up of people too."  It's our apathy and tolerence, or just plain lazyness that is responsible. Just because a president favors a monied interest in a particular decision doesn't mean he isn't helping people. Possibly, not the people we like.
