Not even close. James Polk by far. Added Texas, Oregon Country, and the Mexican Cession to the Union in his four years.
Well, GHW Bush did set US on the path to becoming North Mexico.
I was never a huge fan of Bush 41, but I do believe the assembly of the Gulf War coalition was an extraordinary feat of diplomacy. Convincing Muslims to team up with infidels to go to war with other Muslims is very difficult.
Some effective policies that were totally undone by political naivete. Did not grasp how breaking his no new taxes pledge would alienate voters and allowed a rube upstart to frame his mild recession as “the worst economy in thirty years”.
No, he wasn’t.
He screwed-up the Reagan Legacy he was handed by implementing the biggest tax increase in history.
If you’re a fan of agenda21 and the rio summit and the nwo and swearing an oath to the u.n. Then yeah. As a person, he probably was a good guy but wrong path for my liking.
Isn’t he the one that lost out to the Perjurer in Chief?
What the F?
I never thought he would lose to that car salesmen, Clinton.
For my money, Jimmy “Peanut Boy” Carter was the most successful one-term POTUS, because, in his utter incompetence and failure, he gave us eight years of Ronald Reagan, the greatest president of the 20th Century.
It’s rare that a leader who just won a major war gets tossed overboard by the voters.
Like Churchill. I suspected we were making a sharp turn into Socialism just like the Brits.
That was 41’s finest hour. Getting Judge Clarence Thomas on the supreme court ranked a close second.
That’s also why Clinton’s win surprised me.
After Carter I thought that having a Southern accent
was going to be a deal-breaker to voters for decades to come.
Muslims will always accept our money and military assistance, then stab us in the back. The Gulf War was a huge blunder that led to all these other disastrous conflicts in the Middle East. The Saudis thanked us by promoting Islam in our universities and giving us the 911 terrorists. We should have stayed out of it and let the Muzzies kill each other all the want.
Senators and Reps should be elected/limited to one 4 year term and perhaps the office of President limited to one term of 6 years.
It would avoid all the election voting corruption and the media's bias/influence & hypocrisy I almost believe that President Trump will not run for a second term. He will fix all of our problems, as promised and want to devote more time to his family - which the media has tried to destroy. JMHO
Was interesting to see the tableau at the National Cathedral on Weekend, with PDJT seated next to the three worst ‘RAT presidents since Wilson & FDR. Reminded me of the “hear-see-speak” monkeys.
Bush's great accomplishment -- the peaceful end of the Cold War -- is much to his credit. Yet it is perhaps mostly a matter of Bush being the right man as President at the right time, bringing to fruition the strategy put into place by Reagan, his predecessor. Reading the now declassified memoranda that laid out Reagan's national security strategy leaves little doubt that Bush's success was principally the result of Reagan and his administration.
An idea that we still can't seem to fully do away with, even though every sensible person has come to realize what a stupid and terrible idea it was, and thus we still have good young American men getting killed for no good reason whatsoever.
