Terrible

[newhkpr]

He is the reason Trump is back in office, so... bad. Sadly.

It's not even his fault. His party should have never put him in this position. He was senile by the time he got elected and things only got worse to a point he couldn't even be put up to run again.

I'm convinced if they got a 40-50yr old into the office that person would have gotten a second term.

Just go build some houses for Habitat for Humanity and experience redemption.

He and the people around him seemed to realise up front the only reason he was there was that the party had a massive succession problem, and that they needed to focus on developing one urgently before he stepped aside.

And then about 10 minutes later power and ambition seemed to have gone to all of their heads, and that plan was dropped. 3.5 years later Kamala was still the best they had.

Aside from the Afghanistan withdrawal and failure to use leverage to “help” Netanyahu stay on the right side of outright criminality, I can't think of much the administration did totally wrong, but they also didn't move the dial on issues inherited and let everything fester.

The democrats have done very little for 40 years with the exception of Obamacare. Clinton much like other global leaders of the 80's & 90's increased debt on a massive level to fuel growth. Nothing on really
- Workers rights
- Social safety nets
- Education
- Pollution
- etc

Don't think the Republican presidents have moved the needle on those issues.

I'd say he was 'disappointing'.

Wasn't that Reagan?

During President Bill Clinton's tenure from 1993 to 2001, the United States experienced notable fiscal improvements. The federal budget transitioned from a $290 billion deficit to a $100 billion surplus, marking the first balanced budget since 1969
