Sweet Lu Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Top 3 Best Presidential administrations in the last 100 years:1. Franklin D. Roosevelt 2. Dwight D. Eisenhower 3. Harry S. Truman Only have 3 seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. he was a puppett. nothing more. jsut like LBJ Lyndon B. Johnson was a bad president and...if you've heard his conversations with Robert McNamara on the war in the Vietnam....his lack of military knowledge was frankly scary. One of his statements about Vietnam: (If I remember correctly) "The Game Now, is in the Fourth Quarter, and it's 78 to Nuthin'. Well, I'm scared to death of puttin' our boys in there but I'm even more frightin' about losing a bunch of planes to bad security" Johnson was a ridiculously good Senator though, probably the most cunning in US history....He was truly the "Master of the Senate" yep. not a clue in the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cult Icon Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 agreed. good on paper, but impossible to make a reality it seemsHis description and theoretical models of how capitalism undermines itself and experiences increasingly concentrated economic and political power has been disturbingly prescient for the past 150 years or so.It is the unhappy fact for Marxists and communists that a monopoly of the means of production by state turns out to be both little different in composition and far worse in magnitude than a monopoly by 3rd world crony capitalists. As capitalist societies turn into concentrated oligarchies, capitalism is only mildly preferable because you at least have a little more diffusion of economic and political power spurred by the need for oligarchs to compete with one another. So it ends up looking a bit like 18th century France, just with more technology. The competition also sponsors more creativity and innovation and some improvement in the level of productivity and living standards, at least for the top 10% or so.

He's one of the best IMO just for that. But he was put in a mess when JFK was murdered, just like Obama was after Bush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was put in a mess when JFK was murdered, just like Obama was after Bush I did think of that, Cop, but in my mind the Civil Rights Act would have come eventually without Johnson- by another political leader. Johnson's escalation of Vietnam from just a small scale involvement to all-out war with over half a million American troops was just awful. And his micromanaging of the war was very inappropriate. Three million died in Vietnam. And the Great Society drained national treasure and resulted in a lot of problems. I put Obama because, in my opinion, he's inexperienced and his main constituents (investment/commercial banking system, hedge funds, venture capital funds) compromised him from servicing the public good from the beginning. I was at one of his first rallies (Washington Square Park, NYC) and there were Citigroup and JP Morgan executives all around him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any president dealing with that after JFK would have been very popular at all. I do agree with you on Obama. Very inexperienced. I did vote for him though. Look at who he was running against. Nothing against McCain at all but Palin flat out disgusts me. That's what killed McCain IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obama, is of course, more likable as a person and much more easy to relate to.. Well, when Obama was running for president, I personally thought we need not only substantial government reform- a liquidation of special interests in govt/Congress/Federal Reserve/parties built up since the 1970s- and also broad reorganization, a revamping of our civil service, and the creation of effective industrial policy more aligned with East Asian models. Basically, we needed a highly effective administration like FDR.. North America and the EU do not seem to have much of a plan for real, sustainable economic growth. Monetary policy and a large fiscal stimulus composed of low quality expenditures alone cannot effectively target certain specific sectors or activities like skills retraining and the like. Industrial policy is, sadly, not part of the Tea Party Agenda. Their agenda is just reactionary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
