Well that last part was after but basically my order of presidents for my life is biden - obama - carter - clinton -bush snr - reagan - bush jr -trump. Granted its a tough call on both the high end and the low end. Especially since the further back in the past the more a bad decision can reek havoc. My big problem with obama is not reasserting individual liberty by getting rid of the 9/11 legislation losses and going after Aaron Swartz. Much of it was to much trying to work with republicans and trying to win over their supporters by being "tough". Clinton honestly I think got off easy relative to other democrats because of the time period he got and even though he had a lot of bs resistance I don't think it compares to the others terms. Carter really got screwed with the embargo situation and reagans manipulations.
